At Wynn which is very close to Paris there was Daniel Boulud Brasserie which 
overlooks the lake.  Specify your gluten sensitivity when you make your 
reservation and you may end up with the same knowledgeable waiter.
The restaurant at the Paris (Mon Ami Gabi) to be incredibly understanding, 
answered all my questions and said that they tag your order with a bright 
yellow piece of paper with your allergies/intolerances written on it so 
there are no mistakes made and the food was great
At Wild Bill's Buffalo Wings, the waitress showed me all the sauces that 
flavor the wings so I could see which were GF (there were some Definite 
surprises)
The chefs at the Hilton Hotel (buffet) were very familiar with gluten Issues 
and helpful.
Whole Foods, Wild Oats and Better Nutrition have a variety of GF products 
available, salad bars and even GF pizza at Wild Oats.

------------------
I've been to a number of conventions in Las Vegas. Go pretty much to any 
casino on the strip and eat in their restaurants. They will make your food 
GF. They said that they do it all the time. Skip the buffets and the 
ready-made-food. Of course, keep away from deep fried because of possible 
contaminants in the oil. Ask for your omletts to be made in a separate pan. 
Also ask about the hash browns. Some restaurants have their own hash brown 
grill and they make pancakes somewhere else.  Las Vegas restaurants are no 
bargain, but the food is excellent. Enjoy!

I've been to Mandalay Bay, Wynn, and a number of restaurants on and off the 
strip.
------------------
I have been to Vegas many times with no problems. Aside from the usual 
chains ie PF Changs, I have eaten at many places from Aerole at the Mandalay 
Bay to Rosemarys ( off the strip) and never had a problem... You have many 
many choices!!!!
