DAY 1
Travel: Southwest Airlines + Chicago Midway Airport
I started flying Southwest about a year ago and I’ll never fly a different airline again. Their decision to stop serving peanuts on board was so progressive and meaningful to me. I have successfully pre-boarded every flight, and with an open seating policy, that means I can pick the cleanest seat on the plane. Chicago’s Midway Airport houses the majority of Southwest flights, which is my favorite airline to fly. The smaller terminals are also much easier to navigate than O’Hare. Plus safe snacks like Thinsters Cookies and Made Good Granola can be found at the grab-and-go shops!
Hotel: Bellagio Hotel and Casino
Location: Las Vegas
Centrally located on the Strip and lots of safe dining options within walking distance of the hotel! The staff kept all facilities clean and were accommodating of our needs. The CVS located directly across the street was great for picking up safe snacks and drinks. However, our room (2 Queen Beds) did not have a kitchen and/or fridge.
Bronzed Indulgence Spray Tans
Customizable spray tans advertised as nut free, gluten free, and vegan! Beautiful results in a safe and comfortable environment. Love coming here before a vacation or event!
In N’ Out Burger
Location: Las Vegas
The very first place I want to be when I step off the plane in Las Vegas! I love having somewhere to safely enjoy milkshakes and fries when traveling.
CVS Pharmacy
Location: Las Vegas
Great Option for stocking up on allergy-friendly snacks, drinks, and products! We picked up Nice N’ Clean Wipes, Goldfish, Enjoy Life, and more!
DAY 2
Hattie B’s Hot Chicken
Location: Las Vegas
Hattie B’s uses sunflower oil, not peanut oil… and no nuts on the menu! It can get super busy, but definitely worth the wait.
Essential Pal Insulin Cooler Bag
Location: Las Vegas
Great cooling case to carry my auto-injectors to the pool on a hot summer day!
Wahlburgers
Location: Las Vegas
Great allergen statement on their website about peanuts! They fry with canola oil and take great caution to avoid cross-contamination with their desserts.
Secret Pizza
Location: Las Vegas
A delicious New York style pizza by the slice shop in the Cosmopolitan! No apparent nuts on the menu, but likely unable to accommodate dairy or gluten allergies. Find this “secret” pizza shop on the 3rd floor down the hallway covered in records!
DAY 3
Sadelle’s
Location: Las Vegas
Safely enjoyed brunch at both Sadelle’s locations (New York City and Las Vegas)! Limited nuts on the menu and the proactive waitstaff helped find a safe option for my friend with sesame allergies.
Vanderpump Cocktail Longue
Location: Las Vegas
Safely enjoyed the Goat Cheese Balls (A staple from the hit Bravo TV show)! Limited to no nuts on their seasonal food menu when I visited in June.
Mon Ami Gabi
Location: Las Vegas
Delicious French cuisine on the Las Vegas strip. Safely accommodated my nut and seafood allergies. I enjoyed the french baguette and roast chicken, and my meal arrived with an allergy indicator tab. Yum!
DAY 4
GlutenZero Bakery
Location: Las Vegas
This gluten-free bakery outside of Las Vegas was great for those in my group with celiacs!
Nice N’ Clean Antibacterial Hand Wipes
Location: Las Vegas
These wipes are a life-saver. I feel so safe using them, especially for air travel!
