Vegas used to be a nightmare for vegans. Not anymore. The Strip has seriously stepped up its plant-based game in the last few years, and there are now genuinely excellent options whether you want fine dining or a quick bite between shows. Here are the eight best spots on or near the Strip, tested and ranked by someone who actually eats this way every day.
1. Crossroads Kitchen at Resorts World
Crossroads Kitchen
This is the gold standard for vegan dining on the Strip. Chef Tal Ronnen brought his LA flagship to Resorts World, and it delivers. The artichoke oysters are a must-order. The truffle pizza is ridiculous. The pasta dishes are better than most Italian restaurants in town, vegan or not. Reservations are essential on weekends. Dress smart casual.
2. Wynn Lakeside
Lakeside at Wynn Las Vegas
The Wynn has been ahead of the curve on plant-based dining for years. Lakeside offers a fully plant-based tasting menu that rivals anything on the Strip. The setting is gorgeous with views of the lake and waterfall. This is where you go for a special occasion or when you want to prove to your non-vegan friends that plant-based food can be world-class.
3. VegeNation
VegeNation
A short ride from the Strip, VegeNation is the local favorite for good reason. The menu is creative without being pretentious. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich (made with cauliflower) is incredible. The mac and cheese is comfort food perfection. Brunch on weekends is packed, so get there early or expect a wait. Worth it every time.
4. Nacho Daddy
Nacho Daddy
Not a fully vegan restaurant, but their vegan nachos and vegan menu options are legitimately great. The vegan queso is surprisingly good. This is the spot when you are with a mixed group and need somewhere that works for everyone. Multiple locations on and near the Strip. Casual atmosphere, decent drinks, solid food.
5. Eatt Gourmet Bistro
Eatt Gourmet Bistro
A bit further from the Strip but worth the Uber. Eatt does health-focused vegan food that does not taste like health food. Their grain bowls are filling without being heavy, and the smoothies are some of the best in the city. Great for lunch when you need a break from rich casino food. Clean, bright space with friendly staff.
6. Chef Kenny's Asian Vegan
Chef Kenny's Asian Vegan
Located in Chinatown, about 10 minutes from the Strip. The menu is massive and everything is vegan. The orange chicken, dumplings, and clay pot dishes are standouts. If you are craving Chinese food and want it 100% plant-based with no guessing, this is your spot. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable.
7. Violette's Vegan
Violette's Vegan
A newer addition to the Vegas vegan scene, Violette's brings a more upscale bistro vibe with seasonal menus and creative presentations. Their brunch menu is particularly strong. It is in Henderson so plan for a 20 minute drive from the Strip, but the food quality justifies the trip.
8. Vegan Options at Major Buffets
Wynn Buffet / Wicked Spoon / Bacchanal
If you want the full Vegas buffet experience as a vegan, the Wynn Buffet is your best bet with dedicated vegan stations. Wicked Spoon at the Cosmopolitan and Bacchanal at Caesars also have solid plant-based options. Check our full buffet guide for the detailed breakdown of each one.
Tips for Vegan Dining on the Strip
- Always call ahead for fine dining spots. Chefs can often prepare special vegan menus with advance notice.
- Download HappyCow before your trip. It is the best app for finding vegan options anywhere in Vegas.
- Budget more for Strip dining. Even casual spots on the Strip charge a premium. Off-Strip restaurants often serve better food at lower prices.
- Uber off the Strip for the best variety. Chinatown and the Arts District have some incredible plant-based spots at half the price.
Vegas has gone from vegan-hostile to vegan-friendly in just a few years. Whether you want a $150 tasting menu or a $12 plate of loaded nachos, there is something genuinely good waiting for you. The Strip is no longer a problem for plant-based eaters. It is becoming a destination.
