Las Vegas Street Vendors Coming To A Corner Near You

Hot dogs, street corn, fruit drinks, tacos and more! Las Vegas street vendors could be coming to a corner near you very soon. That’s because there is now a new law in Nevada that will allow them to operate in local neighborhoods without fines or penalties.

Senate Bill 92 (SB92) was signed into law by Governor Joe Lombardo earlier this week. According to an article written by Greg Haas on 8NewsNow.com, this law will allow Nevada cities and counties to properly license and regulate street vendors.

The bill also sets certain guidelines and restrictions on where street vendors can operate. For example, they will not be able to sell their goods in front of Las Vegas convention facilities. Additionally, they will not be able to operate within 1,500 feet of a resort hotel. They must also keep that distance from stadiums and arenas that seat 20,000 or more.

Per Haas’s article, SB92 was sponsored by State Senator Fabian Donate. And since this bill is now a law, many feel that street vendors will receive better treatment. They're hoping they'll also be able to work with respect and dignity.

Because now they will be able to sell their goods in residential neighborhoods. However, they must receive a proper license from the local governing body. It could be a city or county licensing process.

This new law requires street vendors to get a proper license or permit here in Clark County. In addition, these food vendors must also maintain sanitary conditions.

The 8NewsNow.com article also explains that there are other ways in which Nevada cities and counties can regulate street vendors.

For instance, they can restrict operating hours. They can also enact restrictions on where food vendors can sell their fare.

These are possible restrictions communities can put into effect if they choose to do so. They are not hard and fast rules or laws at this time.

For example, a city or county may want to restrict them from operating near a farmers’ market, a special event, a school, or a church. In addition, they can possibly restrict them from selling food near restaurants, special events, polling places, near a mall or near an entertainment district.

The once-challenging quest for vegan options at fast-food restaurants has gotten a lot easier in recent years. Gone are the days of painstakingly customizing orders to suit specific dietary needs. Or worse, just having French fries and lettuce. Fast-food chains have taken significant strides in recent years, expanding their menus to offer an array of plant-based choices.

Plenty of fast-food chains have recognized the shifting dietary preferences of their customers and have embraced the challenge of providing satisfying vegan options. The evolution of vegan choices at these establishments has been impressive. From the golden arches of well-known burger joints to the cozy corners of popular sandwich shops, the vegan revolution has made its mark.

Vegans no longer have to rely solely on customizing existing meals to meet their dietary requirements. Instead, they can revel in the sheer variety that now graces the menus of fast-food chains. These establishments now proudly feature vegan burgers that sizzle and satisfy, dairy-free milkshakes, and even plant-based twists on classic comfort foods.

With an increasing number of people embracing plant-based lifestyles and seeking sustainable dining choices, the fast-food industry has risen to the occasion. These establishments understand that providing diverse options isn't just about following a trend but about fostering inclusivity and catering to many people with specific tastes and needs. So, the next time you're in a hurry and hunger strikes, rest assured that the vegan options at fast-food restaurants are not only abundant but also thoughtfully crafted to satisfy your cravings and nourish your values.

Whether you’re on a diet, dairy-free, vegetarian, or simply vegan there are fast-food places for you to grab a quick bite. Check out these fast-food vegan restaurant menu items. If you're a very strict vegan, you might consider checking with the establishment regarding any potential cross-contamination with meat products when placing your order.

According to Taco Bell, most of their products are vegan. They say to order any item "fresco style", which replaces mayo-based sauces, cheeses, and reduced-fat sour cream with freshly prepared diced tomatoes. Then, substitute the protein with black beans, refried beans, or potato bites. In June, the chain announced that they’re testing a new Vegan Crunchwrap which is meatless and dairy-free. If all goes well, you can soon see that on menus too.

For a restaurant known for its coffee, you may be surprised by the vegan options. Dunkin offers more than 20 vegan menu items, according to their site. Dunkin' features avocado toast and a selection of non-dairy milk alternatives such as oat, almond, and coconut milk to accompany your coffee. In addition to avocado toast, vegans can enjoy other choices like avocado and roasted tomato toast, a bacon avocado tomato sandwich minus the bacon, various bagels including plain, cinnamon raisin, everything, and sesame without cream cheese, an English muffin, and hash browns.

For those seeking plant-based options, Chipotle has consistently offered a reliable meal comprising rice, beans, fajita veggies, salsa, and guacamole. The year 2013 saw a transformative addition to Chipotle's menu with the introduction of vegan sofritas. This was a game-changing choice; it features flavorful spicy braised tofu. As confirmed by the restaurant chain, their sofritas option has been given the seal of approval for both vegans and vegetarians alike.

Burger King offers the Impossible Burger patty, which is widely available across their fast-food outlets nationwide. The Impossible Whopper, just like the classic version, features an Impossible patty crafted from plant-based ingredients. Both Burger King and Impossible Foods representatives informed INSIDER that, upon request, the Impossible Whopper can be prepared separately to ensure it is not cooked on the same surface used for meat products. Additionally, Burger King has begun testing Impossible chicken nuggets.
