    Oh and wear sensible shoes! Seriously, I've seen so many women wear stilettos and whatnot and many of these women end up taking them off and walking barefoot on the strip. The distances between the hotels are very long so all you do is walk everywhere!

    Sensible shoes!

    I just got back from Vegas, stayed at Bellagio's next door to Caesar's. My thoughts:

    - your hotel will have a gym. I made a point to use it daily and tried out some new machines. Awesome!

    - the miracle mile mall and the many casinos are a good way to exercise while beating the heat

    - we ate 1-2 meals per day due to aforementioned sleeping schedule, helped keep the calories down

    - we did buffets (Paris and Bellagio's) but I stuck to meats and veggies, Paleo style (ate a lot of prime rib though!). The first plate had to be half veggie, then I tried to stop after the second (at Paris I didnt and regretted it) I did allow myself a daily dessert. If you don't set rules before you go in all is lost!

    - you HAVE to go to Mon Ami Gabi's in the Paris hotel. It has a great ambience and you can get delicious egg white omelettes for breakfast, delectable chicken breast and salad, etc, lots of healthy choices (avoid the fries, they're like potato chips anyway)

    - avoid the m&m shop. It looks cute but the second floor is DEATH to your diet. I had to throw my bag away

    - I second the sensible shoes BUT keep in mind everybody is dressing SEXY as hell. I brought 2 sexy dresses for each day and was glad I did - those heifers are dressed to kill and you will feel plain as Jane if you don't come prepared and end up binging

    - drink plenty of water. It's hot and dry and dehydration will rear its ugly head and fool you into thinking you're hungry

    - most importantly, have fun and realize it's ok to maintain during vacation!!!

    Oh yeah and if i could do things over I would have brought some of those individual sized almond snacks from trader joes and some portable fruit like apples and oranges. Many mornings or afternoons just a little fruit or nuts would have quelled my appetite but I ended up ravenous cause I had nothing without the restaurants and the convenience store only sells junk.

    Also, keep in mind you can usually refill your water bottle at the gym since there's often a water cooler (hehehe)

    only bring tight clothing...that way you will feel more self conscious of gorging :)
