Question:
FYI-Went to Las Vegas, here's some info

Hey everyone, I just got back from Las Vegas. I am 11mos. post-op. Some helpful hints: when you get to your room,call housekeeping to see if they can send up a mini-fridge. It was very helpful for me. We went to Wal-mart and got bottle-waters and I got some cheese & meat cubes from a deli at the hotel, along with some other snacks. I always brought a bottled water with me. It is very expensive to eat at the restaurants, I did not try to get discounts with my food card, I just mainly either ate appetizers, soups & salads or shared off my boyfriends plate. I kinda steered away from healthy eating,just to find ways to eat cheap. I went to NYNY and ate pizza... :} Have a great time for those who are going! Any other suggestions are welcome for further trips!    — Sunny4x4chick (posted on June 5, 2003)

Hi All: I have another suggestion...The hotel's that I went to I signed up for their players club and got the little card that you put into the machine when you gamble...They also give you coupon books for buy one get one free for the restaurants in their hotel...My husband and I both got books so we ate dinner both nights on the coupon and only had to pay for his...For breakfast and lunch I/we just munched....The wonderful .99 cent shrimp cocktails are wonderful and I figured were about 40 grams of protein per cocktail...almost my whole day protein just at lunch....I took snacks and just kept them in my purse...got my free beverages when I played the slots....if you stop and think about it, we can eat REAL CHEAP in Vegas...just get a little creative...
