I'm going to Vegas in September for at least a few days (hopefully more!), where do you guys recommend eating?

My answer would depend on where are you staying and whether or not you will have a rental car. If you will be staying on the strip, there are plenty of restaurants with good vegetarian options on their menus.

I will be in Vegas Sept 5-7th with my veggie boy and we would both like to go out to eat at a really NICE place that has vegetarian options (vegan is not necessary). Does anyone have a suggestion?

We *do* have a car.

I will be moving next week about 45 minutes from Las Vegas. I will be doing all my shopping and eating out there due to the town I am moving to has but one general store. Does anyone know if Las Vegas a veg friendly town in general? It's bad enough I have to drive so far when I need something and I am worried I am going to be a struggling vegan! Does anyone live there that has any tips/suggestions?

I just spent last week in Vegas - so that hardly makes me an expert but I have a few suggestions.

We did not stay on the strip so if you are going to Vegas and don't have a rental car these options aren't for you. BUT if you can get around here are some suggestions.

Overall, we found quite a few places to go. The best is a new place called Red Velvet Cafe. It is a odd combination of meat and vegan food but was wonderful and the owers are really nice people! I had the VEGAN (yes vegan) tuna melt and it was incredible. My husband had the vegan chiken panini and chocolate cake with 'butter'cream frosting.

Their Whole Foods is pricey but they have alot of vegan options. More than WF's in other cities. We drove past at least 2 Trader Joes so you are covered if you need groceries.

There are alot of ethinic choices - We went to Crazy Pita and had a delish, cheap, fast meal of hummus, falafel, roasted red peppers, cucumber salad and pita bread.
Don't forget about Ronald's Donuts - they have vegan donuts!! They are every bit as greasy and sugary as you would want a donut to be! The jelly and soy filled ones were our faves!

Wow, the menu at the Red Velvet Cafe is great, I'll definately check them out! I did a google earth search and Las Vegas is loaded with Trader Joes and Whole foods! I'm so excited we dont have any grocery stores like that around here, hooray!

If anyone is ever in Vegas go to The Red Velvet Cafe!!! It was amazing! I had the vegan chicken spinach quesadilla and fell in love. I dont care for how small the place is and the chairs to sit on are crappy, my daughter could barely sit in them without almost falling smack hard onto the floor. I would love to see this place in a larger, more convient location!

Ronalds donuts were awesome too! Every donut is vegan, minus the cake type donuts.
