Key Points:
- Although there aren’t any completely gluten-free restaurants in Las Vegas, many offer gluten-free items on their traditional menu.
- A correlation exists between the “ritziness” of a resort and the prevalence of gluten-free menu items, with resorts like Wynn, Cosmopolitan, and The Venetian offering the most variety.
For those suffering from gluten intolerance, vacationing in a city with an unknown restaurant landscape can be a frightening proposition.
Fortunately, Las Vegas resorts, especially those on the Strip, offer a solid number of dining options with gluten-free items – You just need to know where to find them.
I thought it’d be helpful to dig through *literally* every menu in town to detail which restaurants currently offer gluten-free options on their menu.
As menus can change frequently, I’ll be sure to link out to each so that you can easily compare and contrast your options.
NOTE: I recommend that those with a severe sensitivity to gluten call the restaurant they wish to visit before making the trip to ensure their practices around sharing equipment, etc. are up to your standards.

Gluten-Free Restaurants Downtown Las Vegas
Put bluntly, gluten-free restaurant options on Fremont Street are more sparse than on the Strip – Here’s what we’re working with:
Le Thai: A popular spot for those seeking spice, Le Thai is located steps away from El Cortez on Fremont East. Gluten-free options include stir fry and fried rice dishes.
Saginaw’s at Circa: Although Saginaw’s monstrous sandwiches aren’t offered in glutenless form, the menu does offer a selection of salads and breakfast items that are.
Magnolia’s Veranda at 4 Queens: Although there aren’t a ton of options, Magnolia’s Veranda does clearly mark gluten-free items on their menu.
Entrees that have that designation include their Ribeye Steak and their New York Sirloin Steak. Additionally, guests are able to substitute gluten-free bread for sandwiches on their menu.
Pizza Rock at Downtown Grand: I personally think Pizza Rock ranks among the best pizza in Las Vegas. They also offer a selection of gluten-free pizzas that are baked in a separate oven.
Note as well that you can substitute gluten-free dough for most of their pizzas for a $5 upcharge.
Tactotarian in The Arts District: Take the free Downtown Loop Shuttle to the Arts District and take advantage of the gluten-free options at the plant-based Tacotarian Mexican Eatery.
Hopefully, I was able to help you find a gluten-free restaurant in Vegas that works for you and your group! As you can tell, options are much more prevalent on the Strip vs. Fremont Street, so I’d recommend grabbing a bite before heading downtown.

I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.
Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.

Yolo's at Planet Hollywood lists a literal wheat flour quesadilla as gluten free on their menu. They use a shared fryer.
Tacotarian uses a shared fryer.
Most of these places aren't actually gluten free where a Celiac can eat there due to all of these places using shared equipment or boiling noodles in the same water as gluten noodles.
