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!!

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
