Vegan food has become more of a topic of conversation in recent years. With local businesses and ever-growing culture now welcoming the vegetarian and vegan lifestyle, more tasty plates have been available for taste-testing. Wynn Las Vegas has implemented that every fine dining restaurant of theirs has a vegan option available with the goal to cater to all guests. Disneyland has also jumped on the plant based trend to make a change in their food and beverage menu strategy. Most to all of Disneyland's restaurants and carts incorporate a vegan option to help cater to more people. Businesses have seen a wide growth in vegetarian and vegan customers that the idea of not having a meat-substitute option is out of the norm.

Even our very own frequently visited fast-food chain, Burger King, rolled out the Impossible Whopper in August of 2019. The Impossible meat flamed-grilled patty is made out vegetables and soy which may not sound appetizing reading but taste wise is next level.

Vegas has been growing in population and with more people means more hungry stomachs. Local eateries and food trucks have been upping their game in providing fresh and tasty ingredients. If you're someone who is looking to expand your restaurant list, you came to the right place. Three restaurants below are widely different in culture, menu options and delivery but all have the same common core. Plant Based. Each of these restaurants offer menu items that scream yummy. Now we know what you're thinking, "What do they serve, salads?" Valid and also very funny. How does savory sushi rolls, saucy meatball subs or sweet baklava sound? Yes, all made with no animals and will question if you're eating the real thing.

If you're not familiar with Tarantino's Vegan, Daikon Vegan Sushi, or POTs then grab your best friends and your hungry appetite for experiences like no other.

Heard Of These Options And Want More?

Las Vegas is booming with restaurants that cater to more than just your typical "meat and potatoes" person. As much as our carnivorous meat-loving friends love their poultry, there are hundreds of plates that offer a meat-free alternative that will turn their taste buds upside down. Vegetarian and vegan alternatives have come a long way from watery cold soy to five-star dishes with flavor profiles that are out of this world. Local businesses have opened their arms to the plant based dietary lifestyle that offer all of your favorites from the classic noodles, late-night tacos, sweet sushi, meaty hamburgers and more.

Fine dining restaurants like Saffron - The Vegetarian Eatery to quick lunch stops like VegeNation give quality food and ingredients without hurting animals. Whatever kind of craving your stomach is having their is a vegetarian or vegan plate to help you out.

The entertainment capital of the world wouldn't be the same without taking a bit of risk. Get in the car and take a chance on a new restaurant that will still allow you to keep your  "I eat meat card"... We got you covered and no it's not Burger King's "Impossible Whopper." Burger King we love you, it's nothing personal.
