Las Vegas

I'm going to Las Vegas soon and usually when we go somewhere we always book a place that has a kitchenette. HOWEVER, my other half is in the military and the military is putting us up and it does not have a kitchenette. We're trying to confirm if it even has a fridge and/or a microwave.

So...I was wondering if anyone is from the area or has vacationed in Vegas and if anyone has any gluten-free tips or knows of places to eat that are gluten-free, etc. I'm going to call the hotel and see what I can find out including if their restaurants can do anything for me, etc. If not, I guess I'll eat gluten-free ceral bars and drink a bunch of bacardi rum drinks the entire time i'm there. HAHA!!!

Thanks for any input!

I can't think of anything besides PF Changs right now. I do know there was a topic posted about gluten-free places in Las Vegas. Good Luck!!

I was there last year and had dinner at Gallagher's in New York, New York. I told them I was a Celiac and they managed a lovely meal for me.

There are plenty of postings about Las Vegas eating. Broncobux lives there and you might try to PM him for specific spots. There is an Outback, PF Changs, Carnagie Deli (in the Mirage) and take your own bread as they serve a GIANT pastrami that is more then enough for two. Just ask to have the pastrami on a separate plate. I believe there is a Buffalo Wild Wings there and you can have the chili and several of the wing sauces. But Broncobux knows many more. Have fun.

I live in Vegas - but have only been here for about 9 months. I'm not too familiar with the restaurants on the main part of "The Strip" (las vegas blvd)....but I know a few restaurants that are talked about in the restaurant section of this website that are also in Vegas. Outback Steakhouse is a good option for you - as they have their own gluten-free menu. Do you know what hotel you are staying in? There are 9 ( or 8? I don't remember) Outbacks in Vegas. If your hotel is around the Strip area - there are two Outbacks on that road. One in the middle of it all - and one on the South end (the one I work at)....in front of the Outlet Mall. PF Changs, Carrabbas, Bonefish Grill, Roys and Flemings all have gluten free menus. (You can look up their websites and they should have their locations and menus on them.) Chipotle (a cheaper place to eat so you don't break your checkbook the days you're here) is in Vegas (there's one right next to the Outback on the South Strip)....and they have gluten-free options. It would be a good idea to call the hotel you're staying at and ask them about their restaurants...and even recommend some other's that are nearby. If all else fails - find a wendy's and order a salad and baked potato! :)

While in Vegas I ate at PF Changs, (there's an outback too) and Olives at the Bellagio, which did a great job for me. If you go--make sure you get a seat out of the balcony. Very fun. I had lunch at one of the restaurants at the Wynn (can't remember which) and they did a good job too. I would say most of the restaurants at the nicer casinos would be glad to help you. They were great at the Bellagio where we stayed. I had a fridge and took care of breakfast on my own each morning. There is also an Outback on the strip. You could also e-mail the LV Celiac group for more info: lvceliacsupport-owner@yahoogroups.com Have fun!!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      My only proof

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
