Vegas, Baby! Ten Restaurants To Try In the City of Lights

Founder/Author, Vegans, Baby: Las Vegas Vegan Food Guide
Everything is a little more exciting in Vegas, including the plant-based food scene. Here are of few of my favorite hits.
VegeNation
Violette's Vegan Organic Cafe & Juice Bar
Simply Pure
Go Vegan
One of Las Vegas's oldest vegan restaurants, Go Vegan Cafe, has become an institution. This restaurant is perfect for people who want raw options (they have tons) or are gluten-free. Its massive breakfast platters are also not to be missed.
The Modern Vegan
Chef Kenny's Asian Vegan Restaurant
Chef Kenny Chye is a Las Vegas treasure, thanks to his veganizing staple Asian dishes to the point where you can bring your omni friends, and they won't know they're eating vegan. His sushi is a must, and so is his orange chicken.
Vege-Way
Another spot from Chye, Vege-Way was Las Vegas's first vegan fast food and drive-thru. Come here if you want epic vegan burgers and tasty food on the run.
Bar Boulevard
Las Vegas finally has an all-vegan restaurant and bar, thanks to the opening of Bar Boulevard. While this spot's focus skews toward veganized omni dishes (omg, those onion rings), they also make a wicked raw pad thai.
Tacotarian
If you're craving tacos, head to Tacotarian, a plant-based taco shop. Here, you'll find 15 vegan tacos to choose from, plus creative Mexican foods like Taki-encrusted elote and Frito pie.
Blinders Burgers & Brunch
The burgers, like their Shakein Bae-con (herbivorous hardwood smoked ‘bacon’ with dairy-free cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo), are offered in your choice veggie patty options. Plus, their weekend brunch is a must.

Great read! Vegas has quietly turned into a really good vegan food town, and this list is a solid starting point. VegeNation and The Modern Vegan are the two I end up recommending most, so it is nice to see the raw and gluten-free options get a mention too. Off-topic but fun for between meals: What's My Type? is a free face-preference test that runs right in the browser. Eight quick rounds of tapping the AI-generated faces you like, no sign-up and no email, about two minutes, and it names your type out of 16 looks.
Bookmarking this list for my next Vegas trip. When I'm not eating my way through Spring Mountain Road, Undertale Yellow has been my go-to: a free, fan-made prequel to UNDERTALE that runs right in the browser with no install. Clover's run through the Dark Ruins and the Dunes is a great palate cleanser, and version 1.3.1 works with keyboard or touch.
Great roundup of plant-based spots in Vegas. Between meals I've been playing Undertale Yellow, a free, fan-made prequel to UNDERTALE that runs right in the browser with no install. You follow Clover, a kid with a yellow SOUL of justice, through the Dark Ruins, the Dunes and the Wild East, and version 1.3.1 plays with keyboard or touch controls.
The deep-fried PBJ at The Modern Vegan sounds like the kind of thing I'd order at 4 a.m. just to see if it's real. Open UAN 32 until 5 on weekends is dangerous in the best way.
These plant-based spots in Vegas look fantastic—especially Go Vegan Cafe with its raw and gluten-free breakfast platters. Planning holiday trips with family can get so busy, but finding memorable experiences makes all the difference. When getting ready for Christmas festivities at home, services like Make Santa Video can be such a fun way to bring magic to the kids' morning before heading out on winter getaways. Thanks for putting together such a great guide to the vegan food scene!
