Gluten Free in Vegas, Again!

Another Successful trip to Vegas! I have to say I love visiting Vegas, for more than gambling. Though I’m starting to gamble more and more on each trip, I love how there is so much to do in one area. This year was a bit rougher since I sprained my ankle pretty bad a couple weeks back, but I was hobbling along pretty good at this point.

We had several very tasty meals and found more places that we ended up loving after this trip. My first was making sure I got some In-N-Out Burger! Now that they are on the strip (Linq promenade) we could make it there w/o an Uber. Their protein style burger (Wrapped in lettuce) and Fries Animal style were so good. Greasy and bad for you, yes. But TASTY! I ate there 3 times all together on our trip, the 3^rd time my fiancé asked if we could go back because it was so good the first time we went (the 2^nd time I went w/o him). While Wahlburgers is close by too, In-N-Out is quicker for ordering and eating. The last time we went to Wahlburgers it was a 45 minute wait for lunch at 1:00! We really wanted Quicker food this time. 

Yardbird Southern Table and Bar is located inside the Palazzo in restaurant row (Between the Venetian Casino and Palazzo entrance). There is no separate menu for gluten free, but I talked to the gal at the counter and our waitress, for the scoop. They have a separate fryer for the Gluten Free Fried Chicken! Yes Fried Chicken! They also have several GF appetizers and side dishes. The chicken was so good and crispy, and a huge serving. You get 4 pieces for chicken, that with Brussels sprouts and Farmers cheese with Watermelon I felt like you’d have to roll me out of there, it was all so good! It does take about 30 minutes to make so go early, you’re going to be there a while.

Grand Lux Café in the Venetian & Palazzo. We were meeting friends there, and couldn’t find them. Turns out there are 2 locations to this restaurant, in sister hotels. One in the Palazzo the other in the Venetian, so confusing but very tasty. We ate at the one in the Venetian both times, it’s right at the back of the casino. Their menu has designations next to the gluten free dishes and they have everything from breakfast to late night options. We ended up eating her before our flight home the last day as well as had dinner a couple nights earlier. Both times the servers were very knowledgeable about gluten free substitutes. 

One night we opted to do something different and went for Chinese food. I read several shining star reviews of Wazuzu in Encore, so we decided to check it out. It wasn’t a huge menu for gluten free, but it had a few options we liked, like Sweet and Sour Chicken and Panang Curry Chicken. We split both and got a couple sides of brown rice. OMG SO TASTY! This totally hit the spot and made us happy. It’s located right on the Casino floor and was not busy, so we got right in on a Friday night at 7:00. It probably helps that Encore is further away from all the hustle and bustle of the main part of the strip. I totally recommend checking it out. 

At the Airport I wanted to grab a snack, I'm glad I did as our flight had some issues getting out and we sat on the tarmac for some time before they figured out stuff. That had our plane coming in to Chicago after 9:00 and for where we live, after all the quick eat places close. I found this box of Cheese, grapes and crackers. The crackers unfortunately are Gluten-ful, BUT wrapped in their own packaging making this safe for me to eat. I gave the crackers to my gluten eating travel partner while I ate my own crackers with the cheese and grapes.
