Almost every single responder suggested them - The lettuce wraps are great. So is the Chinese salad and lemon chicken) - lots of positive feedback on this one and their GF menu. Outback, of course. Multiple locations. Bahama Breeze - Gluten free menu 375 Hughes Center Drive, Cuisines: Jamaican * Tel: 702 731 3252 Carraba's - GF menu, though someone told me they take their own pasta to be cooked. The buffet at the Bellagio Wolfgang Puck's – MGM Grand - GF menu and great service, more high-end Emeril's restaurants at MGM Grand - very helpful. Cafe Lux in the Venetian Opa - Greek food (off the strip) Nine in the Palms - more high-end Bellagio Buffet Buca di Bepo Buzio's at Rio Hotel Maggiano's - has GF pasta, in Fashion Show Mall on the strip In-N-Out Burger *For fast food, your best bet is In & Out, as they have dedicated oil vats for fries, and burgers on lettuce Big Dog's Cafe and Casino 6390 W. Sahara Ave.| Palace Station 2411 W. Sahara Ave. Wild Oat's Deli El Pollo Loco Del Taco Red Robin Hard Rock Cafe Cold Stone Creamery Joe's Crab Shack Mimi's Cafe Z'tejas Roy - more high-end Denny’s - but cross-contamination may be an issue Il Fornai restaurant featuring GF pasta - call ahead to verify this. Best of all is Chinois in the Caesars Forum Shops ...they have a gluten free menu and GF soy sauce plus the food is excellent....ask for Michael Yi, the manager. or Amy Richardson (702) 737-9700 - OR - Cheesecake Factory at Caesars - call Pam Johnson or Linda Osmundsen at (702) 792-6888 - very helpful and knowledgeable. 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. Celiac Disease Foundation contacts in Las Vegas are Sandi Jo Lawless at (702) 228-4128 and Catherine Hammelrath at (702) 733-7633. ------------------ 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! Vic 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!!!! ------------------ Las Vegas dining.doc 31K View as HTML Open as a Google document Download ----------------- shopping?
