a wynn for vegans in las vegas


when i think of vegas, the word gluttony comes to mind. staying up way too late, drinking way too much alcohol, and eating way too much food (not to mention the food is most likely fried).  i'm usually in and out within 24 hours - as excited to get out of the city as i was to arrive.

well now, although you will most likely still stay up way too late and drink way too much alcohol, at least you can get a good, vegan meal while you're there! rumor has it that casino mogul steve wynn has gone vegan and is now making vegan cuisine mandatory on all of the restaurants in his hotels. below is a list of some of his restaurants and the vegan dishes that will now be served. what do you think?
