Welcome to the seventh annual Vegan Dining Month taking place in Las Vegas the entire month of January. In conjunction with Veganuary, an international non-profit challenging people to go vegan for the month, Vegans, Baby’s annual event celebrates plant-based dining in the Valley.

This is a guide to all restaurants participating in the 2024 Vegan Dining Month. At the end of the month, each restaurant will donate a portion of the proceeds from their specific dishes below to the Nevada SPCA.

Since 1982, Nevada SPCA is the original lifesaving animal shelter in Las Vegas for over 40 years. They are a local, independent, 501(3)c nonprofit that does not have a government contract or any regular funding from national organizations; they rely entirely on donations from our community.  Nevada SPCA intakes an average of 2500 homeless pets each year including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and pet rats; 65% of their intake is from surrenders by pet owners for a variety of reasons including financial hardship, lease restrictions, pet veterinary costs, family changes, owner’s passing and more, and the remainder of their intake is from transfers from other shelters in Nevada as well as orphan kittens from the streets.  Every animal that enters the shelter is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed or neutered and provided the needed medical care to prepare them for adoption. Nevada SPCA also has a Community Support Desk and Pet Pantry that provides food and low-cost veterinary assistance for families in need to keep pets where they belong: with the owners they love.

Like the name suggests, Blackout features an entirely blacked out dining room.

Guided by servers wearing night vision goggles, your other senses are heightened as you go through their coursed, set menu in pitch black. At the end, you can see what the meal you consumed was … but not until then.

Although they don’t market themselves as vegan, the menu is 100 percent vegan.

Updated: Oct. 10, 2023

There’s more than 20 vegan restaurants in Las Vegas. From Asian to tacos and literally everything in between, there’s no wonder Las Vegas is one of the top cities in the US for vegan food.

But, if you’re only in Las Vegas for a few days, or want the absolute best eats in town right now, picking the spot isn’t necessarily easy. Fortunately, you came to the right spot. After eating my way through Las Vegas for seven years, I have the immense joy to share the best vegan food near me during that time. These 10 best vegan restaurants in Las Vegas are based on my years of dining out, checking out every vegan restaurant in town and sharing them with you.

Ok, so it’s impossible to pick only one best vegan restaurant in Las Vegas. It’s even hard to pick 11. However, I’ve managed to narrow the pool based on what makes each special.

If you want even more of the best vegan food in Las Vegas, check out my 2023 Las Vegas Vegan Dining Guide. It shares the best restaurants for vegan dining across 45+ categories.

Staff are equipped with night vision goggles and guests are left to enjoy a sensory experience that relies on all the other senses but sight. What I love most about this spot is that it doesn’t advertise it’s vegan. In fact, you don’t even know until the end of the meal when you’re presented with the menu.

The post 11 best vegan restaurants in Las Vegas: vegan food near me appeared first on VegansBaby.

You know I’m a sucker for pizza. If there’s a vegan pizza near me to try, I’m there. So, when I heard about Pizza Twist and their marriage of Indian food and pizza (who’d have thunk?!?!), it was one of my first stops. Sure, Indian and pizza don’t sound like they’d go together. And, perhaps your tastebuds may question your life choices for a brief moment. But, one things for sure: Pizza Twist knows what they’re doing and no matter how unsure you are, these pies are surprisingly good. In addition, Pizza Twist has a ton of vegan options to choose from. 

Not a fan of Indian? That’s ok. The vegan-friendly Las Vegas restaurant has the pizzas we’ve all grown up with, too. 

Pizza Twist Vegan Indian pizza options

You don’t need to be adventurous to love these pizzas, but you do need to enjoy the complex flavors of Indian food.

Try the Vegan Butter Chicken Pizza Twist. It’s made with their signature vegan butter sauce and cheese, plus vegan chicken, red onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and green chilies. The pie comes garnished with fresh cilantro and guarantees flavor in every bite.

They also serve tandoori BBQ pizza, garlic chicken, manchurian and tikka masala pies on the twist side of the aisle.

Other vegan pizzas at Pizza Twist

Of course, if you prefer the more traditional pizzas, you’re all set. They’ve got vegan meat lovers, veggies galore, pepperoni, BBQ chicken and more.

Additional vegan options

Aside from the pies, they also serve up other options. For wing lovers, they’ve got vegan soy wings they can toss in a variety of sauces — both traditional sauces and Indian flavors.

They also serve vegan cheesy bread, samosas and fries.

9850 S. Maryland Pkwy, Las Vegas, 89183; 725-212-4600; Sun. – Thurs.: noon – 10 p.m., Fri. – Sat.: noon – 11 p.m.

They’re making brioche donuts that are yeast-raised and fried.

Vegan in Las Vegas – vegan doughnuts Las Vegas

The all-vegan kitchen founded by self-taught, award-winning baker baker Stacey Oros came about during the pandemic.

She quit her job in October 2020 to check out van life, and then launched Disco Donuts in March 2021. For nearly a year, Oros word on the recipes before going to market. She debuted at Vegan Wonderland in 2022, selling out more than 100 donuts in three hours.

Seven months after that, she opened in the Lucky 3 ghost kitchen just outside of the Arts District. Today, she’s serving vegan donuts. In addition, the vegan bakery in Las Vegas is also a partner with Gordito Burrito to offer popular breakfast burritos. 

The Disco Donut menu serves a variety of donuts.

Plus, they offer a create-your-own option for fresh donut holes, as well as breakfast eats, coffee and more.

Best donuts Las Vegas

Not sure what to order? These are our top picks.

First, there’s the Oreo Deluxe Donut. This donut comes glazed and then dipped in Oreo cookie crumbs. After that, it’s topped with chocolate drizzle.

Next, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch donut. Like the Oreo donut, it’s glazed. Then, Oros covers it in Mom’s Best Cereal Cinnamon Crunch.

There’s also the Strawberry Shortcake Donut with glaze and housemade strawberry shortcake topping. A golden Oreo crowns this beauty.

For breakfast, Disco Donuts offers a few different choices. There are two burritos. One comes filled with vegan carne asada and tots, the other with sausage and tots.

Finally, Oros offers a brioche donut breakfast sandwich.

You can order at Lucky 3 in-person or via Postmates or UberEats.

333 W. St. Louis Ave.;  Weds., Fri., Sat.: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., Mon.: 8 a.m. – 1 p.m., Thurs.: 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m., Sun.: 6 a.m. – 8 a.m.

Executive Chef Julian Serrano’s Picasso at Bellagio Las Vegas recently added a vegan menu. The upscale vegan-friendly restaurant on The Strip features a menu inspired by the regional cuisine of Spain and France. If you’re looking for Bellagio Las Vegas vegan options, Picasso is your place.

Picasso has received numerous accolades including receiving five stars by AAA and Forbes Travel Guide. It’s an elegant option for those who want vegan food in Las Vegas and want something that’s elegant.

The restaurant reflects its namesake with Pablo Picasso’s paintings and ceramics pieces adorning the walls.

Serrano is no stranger to vegan offerings. His restaurant at Aria, Julian Serrano Tapas, also has a handful of vegan dishes.

But, that’s not all. Other vegan options at Bellagio include Le Cirque, which offers an elegant multi-course tasting menu and Harvest.

In the past few months, Las Vegas resorts have made headlines when it comes to vegan dining. Crossroads Kitchen opened at Resorts World at the end of May 2022. The opening garnered coverage in Wall Street Journal.

In addition, Barry’s Downtown Prime at Circa updated its vegan menu, adding new options and expanding their vegan dessert offerings. 

Upscale vegan options Las Vegas: Picasso

Set with stunning views of the famous Bellagio fountains, the new vegan menu at Picasso is $150 per person. Picasso’s vegan menu is five courses. Does it offer some of the best vegan food in Las Vegas? You’ll have to go to decide.

Vegan tasting menu at Picasso

The first course is Le Tomate with Campari and Heirloom tomatoes with toasted cashew cream and basil.

Second, the Les Petits Farcis dish. The hearty French dish comes with summer squash, eggplant and piquillo with romesco. Our favorite of the trio is the stuffed red pepper. It was so savory.

Next, is a savory roasted mushroom and onion truffle tart. The delicate tart is topped with seasonal mushrooms, salsify and truffle pistou.

Following the third course is the main course of risotto. The Carolina golden rice dish comes with cauliflower and gremolata.

Finally, the vegan meal at Picasso concludes with a seasonal dessert.

There are an abundance of vegan friendly restaurants in Las Vegas. In fact, our site lists hundreds of restaurants in Las Vegas with vegan options. One we’re particularly excited to feature is Harvest at Bellagio. One of the most vegan-friendly hotels in Las Vegas, Bellagio vegan options are a plenty.

Furthermore, when Harvest re-opened following the pandemic closure, it debuted some new vegan offerings courtesy of executive chef Isaiah Torres.

“I approached the vegan menu in the way we do with all our food and that is to highlight the beautiful ingredients in each dish,” he says. “Along with the cuisine, we strive to provide our vegan guests with a seamless dining experience from beginning to end – one that truly shows the care, attention, and detail our team puts into the restaurant on a nightly basis.”

Vegan options at Harvest restaurant Las Vegas

What we love most about Harvest: the plant-forward dishes that celebrate fruit and veggies and their immense versatility.

Vegan appetizers

There are three vegan appetizers at Harvest.

First, there’s the chopped veggie salad. This delightful, light salad features (you guessed it) chopped seasonal veggies with gem lettuce. It’s capped off with a flavorful mustard vin we loved so much Torres gave us the recipe to recreate it at home. Yes, it’s that good.

Next, is the flatbread. This Mediterranean flat bread comes topped with a roasted red pepper hummus, crispy shallots, confit radish and arugula. The dish is also one of our most favorite flatbreads we’ve tried.

Finally, there is tempura pickled vegetables. Unlike most tempura dishes, this one is vegan. It comes with a yuzu ponzu for dipping the farm fresh selection.

Entrees at Harvest

For entrees at the vegan friendly Las Vegas restaurant, there are three.

First, the bucatini pasta. This spicier pasta is filled with roasted eggplant, Taggiasca olives and Calabrian chili.

Then, there’s the dish you’ve probably seen all over the internet but have yet to try. Yes, Harvest has a watermelon steak. The savory melon comes with a stone fruit compote and is drizzled with an aged balsamic.

Of course, we saved the best dish for last. The roasted tandoor veggies is the stand-out on the menu. Rich veggies are complimented by a saffron basmati rice and cooled off with a creamy cucumber raita.

Sides

There are three vegan side dishes at Harvest. They offer a crushed potato with chives in an arbequina olive oil; roasted mushrooms in aged balsamic; and market veggies in a Calamansi citrus oil.

Dessert

When we visited over the summer, Torres brought out an incredible strawberry shortcake. Be sure to ask if there is a vegan dessert when you visit.

Let’s start with the vibe: it’s fun and festive without being obnoxious. Kassi has both indoor and outdoor seating along Virgin’s pool deck complete with day beds you can reserve. They’ve got a rotation of DJs to liven it up but when we went, it was quiet.

Vegan starters at Kassi Beach House

Do yourself a favor and order the white bean dip. Served with airy puccia bread, this dip is creamy and light and a perfect starter.

Other vegan starters include marinated olives topped with marcona almonds, and crudité.

For some greens, try the verde salad. It’s mixed greens alongside radishes and chives tossed in a white balsamic vinaigrette.

Vegan main courses 

There are a couple of options for vegan entrees at Kassi. First, there’s the spaghetti they can make vegan by holding the cheese. While we’re grateful for the option, spaghetti isn’t the reason you come to dine here.

You come for the pizza. Seriously. Their vegan pizza is delicious and cheese-free. You won’t even realize you’re missing the cheese on this pie. The veggie pizza comes topped with a roasted eggplant puree, fennel, red onion, green peppers, cherry tomatoes and salsa rosa. It’s one of the best vegan pizzas in town, so please do yourself a favor and order this bad boy.

Alternatively, if you prefer a little less veggie on your pizza you can order the margherita pizza and hold the cheese.

Vegan sides at Kassi Beach House

When it comes to sides at Kassi Beach House, you’ve got a few to choose from. We loved the sauteed spinach with olive oil, toasted garlic and lemon juice. There’s also grilled broccolini, seasonal squash (pictured) and fries (hold the aioli).

Vegan dessert 

If you aren’t filled up by the time you get to dessert, then indulge in their seasonal selection of housemade sorbets. Refreshing, flavorful and the perfect ending to the meal.

Celebrity Chef Tal Ronnen is behind the well-known establishment and is known not only for his restaurant but for consulting on the vegan program at Wynn and Encore when they first debuted their vegan options. Crossroads first opened in Los Angeles. The Resorts World location is the first outside of California for the restaurant.

Vegan Fine Dining Las Vegas: Crossroads Kitchen

Don’t let the massive menu overwhelm you. We tried a bunch of dishes to help you narrow down the winners here. These are our top 10 picks.

10 dishes to try at Crossroads Kitchen

Let’s start with the three dishes that are exclusive to Crossroads in Las Vegas.

1. Impossible Cigars

The Impossible Cigars are what they sound like — flakey “cigar” pastry filled with Impossible meat and served in a cigar box. It comes with a spicy almond milk yogurt for dipping. Definitely dip it — the spice compliments the cigar perfectly.

2. Chestnut Foie Gras

Light and creamy chestnut foie gras comes topped with a cabernet demi and thin slices of grapes. Spread it on the grilled sourdough which accompanies the dish. Gluten-free option available

3. Caviar and Chips

Crossroads is doing one of the best vegan caviars we’ve had. This one, made with kelp, comes served on top of french onion dip and with ridges potato chips. Gluten-free option available.

4. Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms

Delicate fried zucchini blossoms are filled with Kite Hill Cream Cheese. Top it with marinara and enjoy this gluten-free appetizer. Gluten-free.

5. Basil Pesto and Heirloom Tomato Pizza

Crossroads features four pizzas. We love the basil pesto and Heirloom version that comes with Vertage cashew cheese. It’s light and flavorful and won’t fill you up, leaving room to try other options.

6. Caesar Salad

Yes, it’s a salad. But, my goodness. This is one of the best Caesar salads we’ve ever had. 

7. Fettuccine and Truffles

There are a whopping eight pastas to choose from at Crossroads. The carbonara made famous for its “runny egg” isn’t currently on the menu, so we settled for the fettuccine and truffles and weren’t disappointed. Served in a truffle butter sauce and topped with shaved black truffles, if you’re a fan of the ‘shroom then this dish is for you. Gluten-free option available. 

8. Eggplant Filet

Tender eggplant with chanterelles in a vegan bordelaise sauce and creamy mashed potatoes make this a super cozy dish that’s fitting more for the colder months than the dead of summer. Regardless, it’s delightful.  Gluten-free option available.

9. Truffle Crispy Potatoes

Can you tell we love truffles? These slightly crispy truffle potatoes are a fantastic side if you need more potatoes in your life. Gluten-free

10. Citrus Berry Verine

Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert. While all the desserts are delectable, we were pleasantly surprised by the refreshing citrus berry verine. It’s fluffy lemon curd and berry gelée with almond streusel. Yes, please.
