Back to Vegas -- this is not my favorite city, but the food is great!
On this trip I stayed at the Aria so a bit of a different area than the past so a great opportunity to try some new things.
In the Aria:
Julian Serrano Tapas (x2) -- Yes this place was so good and had so many options I ate there twice! They bring you out a dedicated gluten free menu (and all allergies actually) so you aren't in question and you know the waiter isn't just guessing :)
Lemongrass -- Also in the Aria, was a nice restaurant to enjoy asian food - hardest to find for me! Sadly though the menu was pretty limited. They had a few curries, no appetizers, and in general limited. That being said my green curry was amazing and those I dined with greatly enjoyed their foods as well.
Five50
Had a quick lunch here in between meetings. They do not have gluten free pizza which was sad but not too surprising. Bonus: made me get a salad :) And I will say it was a great salad, and she was knowledgeable on dressings.
Outside of the Aria:
Holsteins -- Took a walk up the strip one day and stopped in here. Was a great burger place with normal size gluten free buns - Winning!! Their fries are not gluten free, but they were able to sub a side salad.
Aureole - Yes this is also in gluten free vegas part 1 but that was actually a trial for a large group dinner we had at this event. They were amazing to work with and able to accommodate gluten free in the pre set menu. And the bread...amazing!

Gluten Free Vegas -- Take 1
As promised I want to blog more about the restaurants and research I do when I travel. Not only does this help me when I go back to some places but I depend on blogs and lists when I travel to know there is more than boiled chicken and dressing free lettuce to eat. :) Plus the best part about travel is the food!
This trip I stayed at the Venetian since our show was in the sands. I was glad I did because not only is it beautiful it was a rare rain (flooding) in Vegas so was nice to not go outside.
Bouchon Bistro
It was great french food (and I was with 2 Parisians) so it goes beyond even my definition of good french. Not the biggest menu but they knew what they could do and were very knowledgable and went above and beyond to ensure I was safe. I had a salad with chèvre to start, and bread. For my main dish I had a trout with haricot verts which was very well done. For dessert (A++) I had three little chocolate 'bouchons' that were amazing little molton chocolate type dessert bites.
I also went back for lunch one day before the show started and had a great cobb salad. I also had the amazing chocolate dish again...I mean why not?
Canyon Grill
I had breakfast here one morning and it was very good. Labeled menu that had bread.
Sushi Samba
I ate at sushi samba in the far end of the Palazzo mall one day, it's dangerously close to the most amazing brands so walk with a purpose! They had a dedicate menu that was very large and were able to many things especially the rolls.
I got one roll that sounded amazing -- EL TOPO® salmon, jalapeño, shiso leaf, fresh melted mozzerella, crispy onion They left off the crispy onion and I was fine! The roll was good don't get me wrong but there was barely any salmon on there and a lot of cheese. The sauces though were very good and it had a great spice! I also got an avacado roll which was great, and had gluten free soy sauce. I tried the cocunut rice as well but was unimipressed as it wasn't the sticky rice consistency I had been told, and had scallions in it which were overpowering.
Aureole
This place was amazing -- I mean you walk into a wine tower to start it all, which if you order one that is really high a 'wine angel' goes up and gets it. And the wine list is so big it has to be stored on an ipad and ordered by number -- very nice!
I started with a cheese plate which was 12 small bites of cheese served with bread. The bread was similar to little cheese bread balls and they were great. For my dinner I continued on my cheese fest and got blue cheese crusted filet mignon with mashed potatoes. For dessert I got a pineapple creme brulee which was so so but a coworker got the chocolate plate and I was able to steal a peanut butter ice cream ball dipped in chocolate...heavenly.
It was amazing an amazing meal and my favorite part of this restaurant was that the waiter was extremely discreet on any gluten related questions or changes I needed allowing it to not be a big deal at a work dinner which I greatly appreciate.
Take 2 coming when I go back to Vegas in November!
