Hi, I'm going to be going to Vegas in late May. I've already read through all the Vegas posts here, but they were either unanswered or didn't address my problem.
I'm PA and my allergist told me when I was little to avoid tree nuts and [b]shellfish[/b]. From the online menus, it seems like every restaurant in Vegas that's peanut safe has shellfish! Does anyone know any restaurants near or on the strip that are nut and shellfish free, or that are good about accommodating allergies?
I read the article here about the deaths from allergies and saw quotes from a manager of a few restaurants that said how accommodating they are, but I checked and they're seafood restaurants! Ugh.
Thanks for any help.
I was wondering about this as well, I am new to this site but DD is PA & we stay away from Tree Nuts, My sister is getting married in Vegas next month & I am wondering how/where we are going to eat!???
Hi,
There is a poster on here under the name: Andy's Mom. She lives in Vegas. See if she has an email to contact her.
My parents are there right now--funny!
Take Care,

If you live in Vegas EVERYONE wants to come visit!!! [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/biggrin.gif[/img] I keep joking with my husband that someone on this site is going to ask soon.
I actually don't know of any Peanut or Nut free restaurants in Vegas. DS has MFA's so there really isn't a "safe" one for him.
I can try to call around to some places on the strip though and see if I find any thing out. If I do find one I'll post back.
Have fun on your vacations!
only 21 days til we leave for our trip to Vegas & i'm still not finding much luck in the way of where to eat once we're there...
the only thing i know for sure is IN & OUT Burger...simply because this is what my sister is serving at her reception following the wedding & i've looked into it...
i've also heard Rain Forest Cafe is safe (there's one at the MGM)
any other ideas?
(i'd prefer not to eat fast food the entire trip but i guess we'll do what we have to)
I will be in Vegas in three weeks or so, too, and I am trying to figure out where to eat as well. The last time we were there we ate at Fellini in the Stratosphere and they said they were peanut free (I ate without incident). The food was decent and inexpensive for a casino restaurant. We also ate at Emeril's Delmonico in the Venetian and I would not recommend it. First of all the food was nowhere near as good as when I ate in the New Orleans outpost. When I made the reservation they told me they had peanuts on the premises but they were kept completely separate as they are hyper aware about allergens and cross-contamination (High-end restaurants are usually pretty good about that kind of stuff). They mentioned my allergy when we arrived and told me that everything would be safe. I guess the actual food was safe for me as I did not react. However, they did put three different steak sauces down for us and then said to me almost as an afterthought "YOU can't have THAT one" without really pointing out which one of the three he meant. I though that was tremendously irresponsible to have an allergen anywhere near an allergic person. What if I had misheard and eaten it? I just feel that that place is out of my comfort zone knowing what I know now.
We ate at the Excalibur buffet and were walked through the line with a chef to tell me what to stay away from. She even pointed out other kinds of nuts just in case. The food was not anything to write home about, but there was a lot of variety.
I have heard that the Border Grill at Mandalay Bay is peanut-free, but I need to call them and check on that myself.
I hope other people post some more info. A trip is always a less anxious affair if you have a list of safe restaurants at your disposal!

I'd like to hear about this when you find out. We're going to Vegas briefly in August and will be stopping at the Mandalay Bay to see the Shark Reef. We went 3 yrs ago and didn't eat anything but fast food there.

I am the original poster, and was in Vegas last week. I ate at Border Grill 2x as it was one of the few places I discovered as being Peanut free. I had eaten at their Santa Monica location a few months ago as well without a problem. I asked both times we ate there (2 nights apart) and the responses were consistant. (I had the border classic's as a meal (it is listed as an appetizer), it was excellent! I also had the brisket taquito's which were great. My husband had fish taco's one night which were not great. He had red pepper roasted chicken the other night and it was delicious.
I ate at Cheesecake Factory 2x (I know people have different comfort zones with this-but all I eat there are the Cajun Chicken Littles and Sliders). I always ask for a manager, and have never had a problem.
Didn't go near any buffets-too scary.
We ate at Stage Deli in the Ceasers Forum Shops. They are Peanut Free as well.
We ate Pizza at the food court in the Venetian (no peanut flour).
We considered going to Bouchon (Venetian), but they have a small menu (I think it is peanut free-verify if you consider this restaurant. It is supposed to be fantastic.
Grand Luxe cafe at the Venitian has peanuts on the menu.
ALL Wolfgang Puck restaurants cook in Peanut Oil.
New York New York had a pizza restaurant, and they appeared to be completely clueless when I asked about peanut flour. Needless to say we walked away.
To be honest there are very few options available (thats why we ate at border grill 2x and cheesecake 2x). Next time we go, I plan to explore Joes Stone Crab restaurant in Ceasers Forum Shops to see if they are peanut free. I know their Florida location is excellent.
There is an Outback on the strip (between Paris and Bally's. I think they are peanut free-not sure. The food there is not great though.
Hope this helps!
Have a good trip
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!
this is a huge help to my family & i am STILL looking into places, but you have given me a great list of possibilities!!! I truly appreciate it, this trip has me pretty anxious & i just hope we can all relax & have a good time while we are out there!
Update: I called the Border Grill and was told they don't use peanut oil, but have peanuts in their mole sauces. I'm glad previous posters had no reactions, but it's out of my comfort zone.
I did call Canaletto in the Venetian, Bertolini's in Caesars (now Trevi), Battista's Hole in the Wall and Roxy;s Diner in Strat and they said they were peanut free. I will ask again when I arrive!
Woah, I am shocked to hear that they had peanuts in their mole sauce. I asked both times we went. I guess that one goes off the list for our next visit!
