Finding MeMe 204 Posted May 31, 2012 You should bring your protien with you in a small plastic bag and you can buy one of those protien shakers with the wire mesh inside. You may also want to stop by a supermarket and buy some string cheese and some roast beef or turkey to make cheese wraps. There is a 7-11 store on the strip and you can always pick up a small can of microwaveable chili or Soup there is a microwave on site. Have fun, I will vacation there for 3 weeks in July.

Hawaii4me 0 Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks! I couldn't remember if there was a convince store on the strip... Can't wait to go, will see lots of shows! Thanks for the tips! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katyb 36 Posted May 31, 2012 I did Vegas post-band, twice. There's plenty of small plate options on the strip, and if you avoid the fast casual type places, you can do just fine. You get to eat at higher class places, spend less, and not gain a ton of weight! Also, if you have a car and can go off the strip, take the time to go to Lotus of Siam. BEST THAI food EVER!

katyb 36 Posted May 31, 2012 Oh, there's also a walgreens on the strip and some grocery stores within a 5 minute drive, 10 minutes to Trader Joes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PdxMan 4,292 Posted May 31, 2012 Just got back from Vegas (Baby!) . As Katyb pointed out, there are a couple Walgreens on the strip, so you can pick up a Muscle Milk. I ate a lot of Soups and salads for dinners and lunch. How far out are you? Just be sure you're cleared for alchohol before you indulge and know your limits. I'm not a drinker, so I do not know, but I understand it hits you faster and leaves you faster with the sleeve, but I don't know. Where are you staying at? First thing I did was to hit Trader Joes and pick up a case of Water, Protein drinks, beef Jerky and other supplies. Set yourself up for success and have a great time!
