Hello all !!! My hubby and I are headed to Vegas babeeeee!!!!

I've been doing well on my diet and do not want to blow it on all the buffets, drinks, drinks, drinks and good eats. We're not renting a car so I will have plenty of exercise. I just don't want to ruin my focus while there.

Do you all have any tips and tricks to stick with my goals????

    Typically when I go to Vegas (going in a few weeks yeah!) I pretty much drink my calories...I steer clear of the buffets, I opt for one nice meal a day (usually dinner) and since I'm sleeping in until noon, I hardly eat much. ;))

    I live in Vegas. There are plenty of awesome restaurants you can get a regular meal from and avoid the plate after plate buffets. Also you could start the day with a morning workout...most properties in Vegas have on location gym's. It may not make up for everything but will surely lessen the effect. Most importantly though...have FUN and don't sweat it!! Just get back here afterwards and continue on.

    It is 7 miles from end to end, ( not including the casinos and malls) walk it and take the stairs rather than the moving sidewalks, and such. Have fun, and enjoy the sites.

    I also live in Vegas...with that guy ^ LOL My big recommendation would be to stick with non-alcoholic drinks from the cocktail waitresses. They'll bring you whatever you want...water, diet cola, juice, coffee. Save those alcohol calories for the evenings.

    Ok I'm going to tell you to go to a buffet, because sometimes it's just unavoidable. The Buffet at the Rio has a build your own stir-fry station. You can load your plate up with tons of veggies and lean meats (including seafood and tofu) and they cook it on a mongolian wok so there is very little oil. Plus the buffet has other stations for those who may not be dieting or if you want a salad to do with your stir-fry.

    You can get a discount voucher for lunch at tix4tonight booths and a free shuttle to the Rio leaves from Balley's. Bon Voyage!

    I am going in two weeks. We usually do one nice meal a day it's going to be so hot out there. You may not want to eat much anyways. Good Luck.

    I would eat a good breakfast and a light lunch and dinner....use a pedometer to see how far you walk in a day! When I go to Vegas I usually am going going going and really dont slow down to eat much during the day....or the hubby and I split an order of something good just to hold us over until dinner!

    this is a good topic
    I'm going to Vegas for my Honeymoon next August, staying at the Belagio for a week, and was wondering bout the food.
    Drinks - not a prob for me, as I'm a tee-total,

    When I'm going to be out of my routine for whatever reason, I try to at least eat a sensible breakfast. Will you have a refrigerator in your room? If not, maybe you can ask for one and stock up on yogurt and fruit or whatever.
