Try Ronald's Donuts located at 4600 W Spring Mountain Road; call ahead to make sure it's open: 702-873-1032. Your best bets as usual are the ethnic restaurants. You can try Canyon Ranch Cafe at the Venetian . Go Raw Cafe is great food- self serve and not a pretty locale- also far from the strip. There are two locations- I have only been to the one at The Lakes.
Go Raw Café Westside Location
2910 Lake East Drive
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Phone: (702) 254-5382
Open 9am to 9pm Mon.-Sat
Open 9am-5pm Sundays
The Lakes Center

Go Raw Café Eastside Location
2381 East Windmill Lane #18
Las Vegas, NV 89123

Wish I could give more suggestions- I eat at home a lot! Hope you have a great time!
