Hello!
Well, I've never looked for any Vegi-friendly places myself (sorry, the Chop House is one of my favorite stops), BUT according to my 2001/2002 Palm Springs Life Desert Guide, the following is listed for vegetarian...
Native Foods, 1775 East Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs 760-416-0070....Their quote says "Vegetarian, the way it should be!"
Personal note: I looked on Mapquest online and it seems to only be less than 1/2 mile away.

Also, Jensen's Finest Foods, 102 South Sunrise Way, Palm Springs 760-325-8282. They are a full-service market & bakery. They are noted for "Farm Fresh Produce relied on by private shoppers, caterers, hotels and restaurants." If you've got a few extra dollars, and don't want to leave your hotel, they do shopping and delivery service too.
Personal note: On Mapquest, it shows they are only 1.9 miles away (4 minute drive).

Lastly, you might want to make your reservations now since Caliente Tropics says their "tenative lull time" is approximately 6 pm to 8 pm so that everyone can have dinner and be back for the last of the days events and not worry about missing anything. Remember, it's Saturday night in Palm Springs and if you don't have any reservations somewhere, you'll have quite a wait. I'll be there Fri, Sat & Sunday. Hope this helps!
