There is one main thing I love about the place; it&#8217;s totally normal. It&#8217;s just a random coffee shop, that just happens to have vegan donuts. Vegans and non-vegans alike happily munch on them. It shows how good vegan baking can be, and how unnecessary certain ingredients are. It&#8217;s been voted the best donut shop in Vegas, with no qualifiers. And in case you are wondering are these donuts too good to be true, like I was, check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quarrygirl.com\/2009\/09\/24\/ronalds-donuts-tests\/\">Quarrygirl blog post<\/a> about the lab tests commissioned by Ray Ortega from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sunflourbaking.com\/\">Sun Flower Baking California<\/a>.

Such a interesting mix of people in one place. In case you&#8217;re wondering, it&#8217;s usually the top two rows that are vegan.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><center><a title=\"Ronald's Donuts by MeShellG, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/4854874401\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Just FYI, this is even tastier than it looks\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4142\/4854874401_cd7b30f5f1.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nIt is SUPER easy to get to from the strip, but I missed my stop and ended up walking three blocks mid-afternoon, which I don&#8217;t recommend on a 104 degree day (okay so it was 40C, but 104 sounds so much more impressively hot.) So in short, if you are on a bus in a strange place&#8230; pay attention to where it&#8217;s going!<\/p>\n<p>Today also took a trip up to the top of the Stratosphere, and the Big Shot. I was going to jump off of it, but once I got up there, I didn&#8217;t feel excited or nervous or anything about it. It&#8217;s a controlled free fall, one drop down and the end. I want more! But the Big Shot was fun, it didn&#8217;t last very long but I had a great time while it was going. What an amazing view of Vegas.<\/p>\n<p><center><a title=\"View from up high by MeShellG, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prairiev\/4855353889\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"View from up high\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4134\/4855353889_34a898f32e.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nUntil next year&#8230; bye Vegas!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information<\/strong><br \/>\nRonald\u2019s Donuts<br \/>\n4600 Spring Mountain Rd<br \/>\nLas Vegas, NV 89102<br \/>\n(702) 873-1032<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, yesterday was the day I finally went over to Ronald&#8217;s Donuts after being in Las Vegas for nearly a week.
