Vegas Beyond the Buffet
Las Vegas is synonymous with excess, and the city’s plant-based burger scene is no exception. Several spots have developed truly remarkable plant-based burgers that hold their own against anything served off the Strip.
Why Vegas Plant-Based Burgers Are So Good
Vegas attracts world-class chefs from across the globe, and that talent translates into every category of cuisine — including vegan. The competitive nature of the dining scene here pushes every restaurant to be exceptional or become irrelevant.
What to Expect
- The Beyond Smash: Double smash-style patties with house pickles, special sauce, and melted plant-based cheese.
- The Mushroom Truffle Burger: A portobello cap marinated in balsamic, topped with truffle aioli and arugula.
- The Black Bean Classic: Hand-formed patty with fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, and jalapeños.
- The Impossible Tower: A towering stack of plant-based protein with all the toppings Vegas would demand.
Where to Look
Many of Vegas’ best plant-based burgers are found just off the Strip in local neighborhoods rather than in casino restaurants. The local areas of Henderson, Summerlin, and Downtown Las Vegas have the most exciting concentrations of original, non-chain burger spots worth seeking out.
