Las Vegas was a different story. We stayed at the MGM and on my last
visit Wolfgang Pucks was wonderful. The day that we went the service
was terrible. I think they had a new server and we ended up leaving.
There was also a lot of loafs of fresh bread stacked around that made me
nervous. They were coated in white flour and just stacked in corners
where the food was prepped. The manager was very nice and asked us to
stay but we were on a tight schedule that day and only had a window of
time in order for us to eat. So, we left and from the comments we
overheard while waiting to be served and others waiting to talk to the
manager, I am glad we did. This new server was really too green to be
working at such a busy establishment right at dinner time.
We did have a great meal at the Rain Forest Cafe there and the manager
was very helpful. We ate all meals either with food I had packed or
from the snack bar by the pool. They precook the foods in the morning
and everything is done separately. We did not get sick and my son is
very sensitive. We had ice cream at cold stone at Excalibur. The
manager at Coldstone got a new scooper and dished directly into a cup.
They did this at Haagen Daaz too at the MGM. We also had a nice meal at
the regular cafe at the MGM that is open 24 hours. They were great and
I had a steak, my son had a baked potato and part of my steak and we
ordered fresh fruit and vegetables without the seasoning. The waitress
was very nice and knew about celiac, so we left her a nice tip.
They now have a Whole Foods there and they have a Trader Joes. There
is an Outback on the strip and we were ok eating out a few meals and
eating in the others. I packed gf meats, cheeses and brought cereal and
gf salad dressings. So, I ate a lot of salad and lettuce wraps. My son
ate mostly fruit, cereal and burgers from the snack bar at the pool. We
spent a lot of time at the pool as they have a lazy river there.
Thanks for all the input from everyone. And sorry I don't know much
about the Mirage. Other than I heard their buffet is supposed to be
great.

P.F. Changs is at Aladdin. Awesome! They have a GF menu. We ordered
breakfast from room service, eggs, etc. We ate in the nicer resturants, I
remember 1 at the aladin (we stayed there) was really really good. We also
ate at
the buffet there and did pretty well. I brought gf cereal with me and
pretzels, and some other snacking items to supplement. I am the type of
person that
doesn't want to ask for special things at restaurants, so I tried to stick
with what was safest. Most people will be accommodating, so just ask and I
am
sure they can help you out. You can walk everywhere, or take the tram
which
if I remember correctly leaves from Excalibur. A lot of the hotels are
connected. Cabs are cheap and abundant, so if it is too far, try that.
Good
luck, we had a blast.
A couple of people recommended going to
www.goodhealthpublishing.com for their list of
restaurants that accomodate gluten free dining
and also recommended their dining cards.
