I love snacks.
I love cookie dough.
I love chocolate chips.
I love it all. So I put it all in one. With a little protein powder to boot.
Stomach bug went away! Hallelujah. Not working out and napping most of the day makes JB feel like one soft gummy bear. Ugh, don’t you hate when I talk to myself in the third person? I sure do. Anywho, I’m back to my normal schedule without feeling like a sick gummy bear. Thank goodness. Everyone I know is getting sick lately. Hell, I was sick 3 times this season. THREE. And the season isn’t even over!! I think I only got sick once last year, but this season, the bugs have got the best of me. What is that about?
Moving on. Remember the other day, when I told you I was going to Vegas soon and asked for some advice about what shows I should see and what restaurants are the best? Well, luckily I got a few comments. But I still need more. A lot of people told me about off the strip stuff, which I’m sure is amazing, but to be honest, I want to be a tourist. I’ve never been to Vegas, so I want to live it up. Thankfully, I’m not 21 anymore, so I’m not looking to drink myself into a blackout, all while doing it as cheap as possible. I’m willing to spend a little money. So lay it on me people. Give me more places to visit.
I think my biggest stressor about Vegas is what I’m going to wear. I don’t really dress 21 year old slutty anymore. Now please don’t take that offensively if you’re 21. I’m speaking from my own experience. When I weighed 26 pounds and could fit into skin tight dresses. Well, that’s not really my style anymore. And I have more curves to work with along with some confidence. So what’s a girl to wear? Comfy shoes, obviously. But if I’m wearing comfy shoes, what do I wear along with them? Time to go shopping!!! Which means online. Obviously. Presents arriving at your doorstep is always the best plan.
That was an entirely pointless blog post. Kbye.

Fogo De Chao – Brazilian all you can eat bbq-ed meats, filet mignon wrapped in bacon? Yes please!
Hash House A- Go-Go- just google the pictures! It’s in The Quad, was on Man V Food so good though!
Carmine’s in the Venetian- THE BEST pizza 🙂
These look delicious, I can’t wait to make them!! Also, I have to second the Mon Ami Gabi recommendation in the Paris hotel- they have a great gluten free menu and will bring hot gluten free bread to the table… Amazing! Also Canyon Ranch (I think it’s at the Venetian) has all sorts of yummy, healthy options!
If you want to get away from the strip for something to do, head west out to Summerlin to Red Rock for some hiking. I don’t live there anymore, but when I first moved there, I was surprised at the natural beauty that could be found there. Definitely check out a show or two, Cirque shows are all good and La Reve, also Jersey Boys is phenomenal!
Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion was a big favorite of ours, also Hash House a Go-Go is a must do. There was a small Indian restaurant called Mint Bistro that was another favorite and I thought it was gross, but there is a place called Hot and Juicy Crawfish, my husband loves that place, so if you like crawfish check that out. Oh yeah, and Firefly, it’s a tapas place on Paradise(I think) they have the best bacon wrapped dates and sangria!
I love Vegas! My husband had to drag me there the first time, and now we’ve been 8 times! We are going next week, and it will be the first time since going paleo.
In the past, our favorite buffets were Spice Market in Planet Hollywood by far, Bellagio and Wynn. We also like to get the 24 hour buffet pass, and time it so we can get two breakfasts, a lunch and a dinner. The Rio buffet is fantastic,too, but you do have to take a shuttle or taxi.
As for shows, we like to see comedians. You can see a list of them on http://www.vegas.com. The Mirage usually has a great line up. Brad Garrett’s comedy club was great, I would recommend it if he is going to be there. He is hysterical, but not pc whatsoever. Vinne Favorito was fantastic, also not pc. He picked on people from the audience.
Definitely dress comfy! One of my absolute favorite things to do is stand on the bridges at night and just watch the lights. You can spend a few days just walking through all of the hotels, they are all fabulous.
You should check out Bobby Flay’s restaurant at the Bellagio while you’re there. I was in Vegas a last summer and made it a point to check out his restaurant. It was soooo worth it!
I don’t know if I am too late as I don’t have time to look through all the comments right now. But I went to Vegas for my brothers wedding in August – we went to le Reve at the Wynn. Awesome show!!!!! You might say OMG that is expensive for tickets but after you see it you will understand why. They built the hotel around the underwater stage. Quite a production and don’t miss it!!
Crossfit Sincity West with Thomas as your coach is an important stop everytime we are in Vegas!
you shut up right now and listen to me.
bally’s casino/hotel. on the strip. tequila bar and grille inside bally’s.
$2 tequila shots, beers, margaritas, and tacos all day.
their tacos are really, really good.
then there is a plate of nachos that is UNREAL. it’s called “El Jefe’s Nachos Grande.” the nacho plate is $18 (sometimes cheaper, depending on day and time) and it is HUGE. i was there with 5 other dudes, we ordered a few $2 tacos each, and a bunch of booze. that nacho plate was so big we couldn’t even eat half of it. and it is so delicious.

the other place you should def eat is hash house a go-go. it is really damn good. and with your serious love of food, you’ll want to marry it.

I made these today for my kids. They are 8 and 11 and just started running on a track team. My youngest is super picky and he loved them! I used two dates in place of the coconut sugar. Super YUMMY!!
I’m surprised no one has said this but La Reve at the Wynn is an amazing show! It compares to the cirque shows with all the acrobatics and stuff, but both me and my husband really enjoyed the show. Also, The Blue Man Group is always great. I’ve seen the show in Chicago, Vegas, and when it came here to my home city. It’s a really fun time. I wish I had food suggestions but I honestly can’t think of any that stand out (I’ve been 3 times too, that’s pretty bad).
