Eating in Las Vegas

Eating in Las Vegas

We've put together a guide to some of our (and Audrey at Encore's) favorite places to eat and drink in Las Vegas. You'll find vegetarian and vegan restaurants, along with venues offering multiple plant-based options. We've also included established favorites and some exciting new openings.

Vegetarian and vegan in Las Vegas

Audrey Jai, Senior Producer at Encore, kindly shared her favorite vegan and vegetarian friendly restaurants in Las Vegas:

Breakfast

Pressed Juicery: Perfect for a quick juice or smoothie bowl. They also serve dairy-free frozen yogurt. There are multiple locations across the city.

Black and Blue Diner: With clearly labeled vegan options, it's a great spot for a hearty breakfast, with waffles, pancakes and French toast on the menu. 

Good Morning: Audrey's favorite spot for a hearty breakfast, with clearly labeled vegan options. She recommends the vegan omelet. 

Lunch and dinner

Nacho Daddy: Serving Mexican food with several clearly labeled vegan options, including a chick'n quesadilla. There are two locations in Las Vegas, one on the Strip and one downtown. 

Tacotarian: Voted the number-one vegan taqueria in the US, Tacotarian serves quick, flavorful tacos. 

Crossroads Kitchen: This fully vegan restaurant serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Audrey recommends the Caesar salad with extra caper berries> The pasta and calamari are also popular choices. 

Evel Pie: Serving oversized pizzas that are perfect for sharing, with a dedicated vegan menu. 

Earthly: A fully vegan eatery with plenty of options. It's conveniently located close to Mandalay Bay.

Tarantino's Vegan: One of the few fully vegan Italian restaurants in the US. It's available through Uber Eats, but also worth the trip across the city for anyone craving plant-based Italian cuisine.

Chef Kenny's Vegan Dim Sum: A tasty option that's easy to enjoy on the go. 

IMEX team recommendations:

Team IMEX has some tried-and-true favorites in the city. Here are some of our favorite food and drink spots in Las Vegas.

Ada’s: Offering shareable plates, seasonally inspired cuisine and a comprehensive wine list. In the Arts District.

Via Via Food Hall: Bringing famous East Coast and West Coast food favorites to the Las Vegas Strip, including NYC institutions such as Scar’s Pizza and Ivan Ramen.

Block 16 Urban Food Hall: A lively food hall at The Cosmopolitan with a curated mix of easy, craveable food and drink from well-known chefs. Great for anything from breakfast to late-night bites. Naughty Patty’s, described as a classic diner with a rebellious side, looks especially good! 

Best Friend: In Park MGM (close to Eataly) this restaurant is fun without feeling gimmicky. We recommend the French fries with ramen dust, slippery shrimp and pork belly.

Lucia Mexican Grill: In the Virgin Hotel, this is the place for great Mexican food. With large tables and booths, it's an ideal spot for team dinners. 

Esther’s Kitchen: In the Art’s District in downtown Las Vegas, Esther’s Kitchen is open for brunch, lunch and dinner. The menu includes Dishes of the Moment, highlighting seasonal produce, along with a large selection of sourdough pizzas. 

Restaurants at The Cosmopolitan

This hotel is home to some of our favorite food and drink spots in Las Vegas. There are plenty of options to choose from, including:

China Poblano: Mexican-Chinese fusion cuisine (sounds odd, tastes amazing!)
Bang Bar: Think of it as an elevated kebab shop 
Superfrico: The restaurant embodies the spirit of Las Vegas. Go for the food and enjoy a show at the same time 

Tacos El Gordo: If you like tacos and want something easy, affordable and quick, this is the place. There are two locations in Las Vegas, with the closest to Mandalay Bay on 2560 W Sunset Rd. 

Terrace Point Café: Serving breakfast, brunch and lunch with views of Encore's pool and gardens, Terrace Point Cafe is perfect for a relaxed post-show lunch.
