Viva Las Vegans! Las Vegas is home to so many incredible vegan options, both on and off the Strip. This city is full of surprises for plant-based travellers — from vegan Chinese dim sum to a dining-in-the-dark experience that’s entirely plant-based.
Whether you’re a long-time vegan or just plant-curious, Las Vegas has something special waiting for you. Here’s my guide to the best vegan and plant-based restaurants in the city, tried, tested, and loved.
Best Vegan Restaurants in Las Vegas
1. Crossroads Kitchen — Chef Tal Ronnen’s Acclaimed Plant-Based Restaurant at Resorts World
Celebrity chef Tal Ronnen’s Crossroads Kitchen brings its acclaimed Los Angeles plant-based formula to Resorts World Las Vegas — and it’s a genuinely impressive arrival on the Strip. The menu is rooted in Mediterranean cuisine with a modern Californian sensibility: house-made artichoke “oysters” that are a signature dish and an absolute must-order, silky pappardelle with wild mushroom ragù, and a whole section dedicated to cheese and charcuterie boards featuring Tal’s own dairy-free cheeses. The room is chic and the wine list is outstanding. This is vegan fine dining that feels celebratory, effortless, and completely justified at every price point — a landmark restaurant in every sense.

2. Tarantino’s — Italian Home Cooking, 100% Plant-Based
Tarantino’s is an off-Strip gem on West Sahara that has earned a devoted following for its entirely plant-based take on Italian home cooking — the kind of honest, generous, flavour-forward food that makes you feel like you’ve been invited to dinner by a particularly talented Italian grandmother. The house-made pasta is the star: thick ribbons of pappardelle with slow-cooked tomato sauce, delicate ravioli filled with cashew ricotta and spinach, and a lasagne that layers richly seasoned vegetables and béchamel sauce to magnificent effect. The portions are enormous, the prices are reasonable, and the warm, unpretentious atmosphere is a genuine antidote to the spectacle of the Strip.

3. Chef Kenny’s Vegan Dim Sum — My Personal Favourite in Las Vegas
Chef Kenny’s Vegan Dim Sum is my personal favourite restaurant in Las Vegas — and it’s one of the most joyful and unexpected dining experiences the city has to offer. Located in a strip mall on East Tropicana, this entirely plant-based Chinese restaurant serves dim sum of extraordinary quality: har gow dumplings with a translucent rice flour skin and a perfectly seasoned filling, fluffy char siu bao buns filled with smoky, caramelised jackfruit, silky cheung fun rice noodle rolls, and a turnip cake that rivals anything served in Hong Kong. Chef Kenny’s knowledge of Chinese culinary technique is remarkable, and the result is food that feels completely authentic. Don’t skip the house XO sauce — it’s addictive.

4. Tacotarian — Las Vegas’s Best 100% Plant-Based Taco Restaurant
Tacotarian is Las Vegas’s best 100% plant-based taco restaurant, and it’s been winning over sceptics and devotees alike since it opened its Henderson location on South Eastern Avenue. The tacos are the star — soft corn or flour tortillas filled with carefully seasoned fillings like smoked mushroom al pastor with charred pineapple salsa, crispy beer-battered “fish” with cabbage slaw and chipotle mayo, or slow-cooked jackfruit barbacoa with pickled red onions and fresh herbs. The aguas frescas are made in-house and the horchata is exceptional. Order a spread of everything, work through them slowly, and thank Las Vegas for its increasingly brilliant vegan food scene.
📍 10940 S Eastern Ave Suite 108, Henderson, NV 89052 | ☎️ +1 702 820 6888 | 🌐 tacotarian.com | 📸 @eattacotarian
5. Smash Me Baby — Plant-Based Smash Burgers Done to Perfection
Smash Me Baby on Paradise Road has perfected the art of the vegan smash burger — a double-smashed patty with a crispy, lacey crust, melted vegan cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, and a secret sauce that is deeply, dangerously addictive. The fries are thin-cut and perfectly crispy, and the shakes (entirely plant-based) are thick and indulgent in the best possible way. This is fast food done with genuine care and real technique — the kind of burger you’d happily drive across town for even when you’re not in Las Vegas. Casual, affordable, and absolutely outstanding for what it does.

6. The Modern Vegan — Legendary Plant-Based Comfort Food in Summerlin
The Modern Vegan on South Rampart is a Las Vegas legend in the making — a sprawling, welcoming plant-based diner that has built an extraordinarily passionate local following. The menu is huge and ambitious, covering everything from breakfast to late-night comfort food, but the standout dish is the chicken and waffles: a crispy, perfectly seasoned seitan piece resting on a light, fluffy waffle with maple syrup and hot sauce. It’s genuinely extraordinary. The portions are Las Vegas-sized (i.e. enormous), the prices are fair, and the atmosphere has that special quality of a place where the community has truly adopted it as their own. Don’t miss it.

7. Blackout — A Fully Plant-Based Dining-in-the-Dark Experience
Blackout is unlike any other dining experience in Las Vegas — or anywhere, for that matter. Located in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, this extraordinary restaurant seats you in complete and total darkness and serves you a multi-course tasting menu entirely by feel, smell, and taste. The entire menu is vegan, and the absence of visual cues forces you to experience each dish on a profoundly different level — flavours seem more intense, textures more fascinating, and the whole meal becomes genuinely transformative. The guided arrival, the darkness, the moment of revelation at the end — it’s theatre and fine dining combined into something utterly unique. Book well in advance: it sells out consistently.

8. Daikon Vegan Sushi — Creative Plant-Based Sushi Off the Strip
Daikon Vegan Sushi on South Durango Drive is Las Vegas’s dedicated plant-based sushi restaurant, and it’s a genuinely excellent one that holds its own against the city’s best Japanese restaurants. The rolls are imaginative and beautifully presented — think a spicy mango tempura roll with avocado and sriracha aioli, or a truffle edamame crunch roll with pickled daikon and sesame — and the nigiri and hand rolls are made with fresh, quality ingredients and real technical skill. The restaurant is sleek and modern, the service is attentive, and the sake list is well-chosen. A brilliant spot for a special sushi dinner away from the Strip.

9. Basil Vegan Thai — Two Cuisines, One Fully Plant-Based Kitchen
Basil Vegan Thai on West Charleston Boulevard is a wonderfully generous restaurant that manages to excel at two cuisines simultaneously — classic Thai cooking and creative vegan sushi — which sounds ambitious but absolutely works. The Thai side delivers all the familiar favourites: fragrant green curry with jasmine rice, pad see ew with chewy noodles and crispy tofu, and a tom kha soup that’s richly coconutty and warming. The sushi menu offers well-made rolls and nigiri with inventive fillings and beautiful presentation. The restaurant is large and relaxed, the staff are helpful and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. A reliable, welcoming, and thoroughly satisfying choice.

Tips for Vegan Travellers in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is surprisingly excellent for vegan travellers! While the Strip hotels have improved massively in offering plant-based options, many of the best vegan restaurants are off-Strip and worth the short drive or Uber. The Arts District and Summerlin neighbourhoods are great areas for independent vegan dining. Many casinos on the Strip now offer vegan options at their buffets. If you’re looking for a unique experience, the Blackout dining-in-the-dark is unlike anything else — book well in advance as it sells out quickly.
