Looking for Best Vegetarian Meals in Vegas

Question for Ed Miller and other Vegas vegetarians (or anyone else who wants to chime in for that matter).

What are some of the best places in Vegas to get a good vegetarian meal. I am not necessarily looking for just veggierestaurants (if there even are any) but places that have or can put together a good vegetarian meal (I am a veggie but my wife is not (she eats fish)).

A lot of the hotels on the strip have buffets that have a lot of fruit and vegetables, can't help you with specific restaurants though.

Paymon's is good.

Price Range?

Off the top of my head, I recommend:

Commander's Palace in the Aladdin doesn't have a large vegetarian selection, but it's always put something great together for me. And since your wife eats fish, a New Orleansy place is a good option.

The Melting Pot in Summerlin (30 min west of strip), though a chain, is fantastic. Best romantic/vegetarian meal we've had in Vegas.

On the cheaper (and more Asian) end, I recommend:

Lotus of Siam in a strip mall on Sahara near Maryland Pkwy. Fantastic Thai place...

Long Life Vegetarian Restaurant (chinese food) is one of our favorites. They have a pure vegetarian version of hot & sour soup which is one of my favorite soups and something I miss having gone veggie. It's in a strip mall at Flamingo & Sandhill.

He's a vegetarian, not a rabbit. Vegetarians like hot, rich, savory dishes as much as anyone else - they just don't eat meat.

Bertolini's in the Appian way shops at Caesars has a few vegetarian pasta dishes and appetizers. Certainly worth looking at a menu.

I second this. I am a carnivore, but I ate there with a couple of vegetarians, and there were lots of good veggie choices. The menu went beyond the usual hummus, falafel, baba ganoush, and stuffed grape leaves.
