What do you do when you find yourself in Vegas staying at the Wynn?  You #eatalltheveganthings of course!  If you're  unfamiliar with why it is a little vegan mecca, the owner Steve Wynn became vegan in 2010 and added vegan options to all of the restaurants in the hotel.  And we're not just talking steamed broccoli on top of rice (which don't get me wrong, that can be delicious) but rather pasta, pizzas, dumplings, curries, crab cakes and so much more that it was impossible to try everything in one weekend.  But hey, we gave it a go, ate ourselves silly and took...
