Hi,

I am sure this has been asked before, but can someone help me with what restaurants in Las Vegas serve gluten free food?

Thank you!

I had good luck with the restaurant in the Eiffel Tower and with Smith and Wollenski. Neither has a gluten-free menu, but both were very accomodating and I didn't get sick. Great food both places. S&W even called the cook at home to see what ingredients he put in the ice cream (it was gluten-free, and this was before I was casein free).

Life sure becomes strange when your criteria for a good restaurant experience is "I didn't get sick!!" <_<

I stay at the Mirage and have lunch at Carnegie Deli (Mirage). The Pastrami and Corned Beef are gluten free (and also corn free - I called). I take my bread to the deli, if I want to make a sandwich. Ask them to serve your choice on a separate plate. I also have dinner at Stack which is at the Mirage and pretty exspensive, but will worth it. The dinner is fantastic and totally relaxing for me. the Gemeral Manager, head chef and the staff are totally into taking care of my dietary requirements.

I, of course, have to reply to tell you about the Outback's located in Vegas! :o) There are two on the "Strip" (is that the only place you plan on eating??) One in the 2nd level of the Mirage (I think)...and another on the south end... at 7380 S. Las Vegas Blvd. Check out their online gluten-free menu at www.outback.com ! Let me know if you need any suggestions off of the Strip... I've only been in Vegas a little over a year - and have only Once been "on the strip." But I know of other's around the city!! Good luck and I hope you have a good experience!

There is atleast one PF Chang's on the strip. Favorite meal on last trip was at Bellagio's Olives restaurant. Pretty nice place--great food and if you can get outside--great terrace view of fountains. Did a great job with my gluten-free meal. Just call ahead and specify you'll need gluten-free meal, they will discuss when you arrive.

There is a terrific steakhouse downtown on Fremont Street inside Fitzgerald's Casino. Now, don't get discouraged because Fitzgeralds looks sort of run down. Upstairs is "Limerick's Steakhouse". The waitress was awesome and didn't mind checking..and the manager couldn't have been more accomodating. It's a tad pricey but well worth it.

When I am in Vegas, every day for lunch I eat at Chipotle! You always know you are going to get great food and it is gluten free. It is located next to Harrahs in the middle of the Strip.

(sorry to bring up an old topic... I searched for Vegas)

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community @colinukcoeliac! I am in the USA but I don't think it is any different here in my experience. In some large cities there are dedicated gluten free restaurants where only gluten free ingredients are found. However, there are a growing number of mainstream eatery chains that advertise gluten free menu items but they are likely cooked and prepared along with gluten containing foods. They are just not set up to offer a dedicated gluten free cooking, preparation and handling environment. There simply isn't space for it and it would not be cost effective. And I think you probably realize that restaurants operate on a thin margin of profit. As the food industry has become more aware of celiac disease and the issue of cross contamination I have noticed that some eateries that used to offer "gluten free" menu items not have changed their terminology to "low gluten" to reflect the possibility of cross contamination.  I would have to say that I appreciate the openness and honesty of the response you got from your email inquiry. It also needs to be said that the degree of cross contamination happening in that eatery may still allow the food they advertise as gluten free to meet the regulatory standards of gluten free advertising which, in the USA is not more than 20ppm of gluten. And that is acceptable for most celiacs and those who are gluten sensitive. Perhaps you might suggest to the eatery that they add a disclaimer about cross contamination to the menu itself.

      This is a very common source of frustration within the celiac community. Many restaurants, including large chain restaurants, now offer a "gluten-free" menu, or mark items on their menu as gluten-free. Some of them then include a standard CYA disclaimer like what you experienced--that they can't guarantee your food will be gluten-free. Should they even bother at all? This is a good question, and if they can't actually deliver gluten-free food, should they even be legally allowed to make any claims around it?  Personally I view a gluten-free menu as a basic guide that can help me order, but I still explain that I really have celiac disease and need my food to be gluten-free. Then I take some AN-PEP enzymes when my food arrives just in case there may be contamination. So far this has worked for me, and for others here. It is frustrating that ordering off a gluten-free menu doesn't mean it's actually safe, however, I do feel somewhat thankful that it does at least signal an awareness on their part, and an attempt to provide safe food. For legal reasons they likely need to add the disclaimer, but it may also be necessary because on a busy night, who knows what could happen?

      That is a very old study that concludes "Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of CD patients", and I've not seen any substantive studies that support the idea that corn would be a risk for celiacs, although some people with celiac disease could have a separate intolerance to it, just like those without celiac disease might have corn intolerance.

      @cristiana,  It's the same here, doctors check just Vitamin D and B12 routinely.  The blood tests for other B vitamins are so inaccurate, or expensive and time consuming, doctors tend to gloss over their importance.   B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted in urine.  Some people need to be careful with Pyridoxine B6 because they can store it longer than most due to genetics.  A symptom of Pyridoxine B6 deficiency is peripheral neuropathy.  Taking Pyridoxine B6 will relieve the neuropathy, but excess Pyridoxine can also cause peripheral neuropathy.  So, if neuropathy symptoms return, stop taking the Pyridoxine and it will resolve quickly as the excess Pyridoxine is used.  But the body still needs the other B vitamins, so taking them separately without Pyridoxine can be an option.   If one is low in Vitamin D, one may also be low in the other fat soluble vitamins, A, E, and K.  Vitamin K is important to bone and circulatory  health.  Vitamin A helps improve the health of the intestine, eyes, skin and other mucus membranes.  Vitamin E helps our immune system stay healthy.   Important minerals, iron, magnesium and calcium, as well as a dozen or so trace minerals are important, too.  They need the B vitamins to be utilized, too.   Our gluten free diets can be low in B vitamins.  Our absorption can be affected for many years while we're healing.  Supplementing with B vitamins boosts our absorption and helps our bodies and our brains function at optimal levels.   Hope this helps!

      Welcome to the forum @colinukcoeliac. Letting them know that they lost a customer because they could not satisfy cross contamination needs may incline them to fix that problem.  It was good of tnem to alert you.  The more they know...
