RE: Vegas Trip/Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi Nyree,

I just got back from Vegas, my advice??? Don't try to do CALP while your

there!! It didn't work for me anyway, should have stayed straight

Atkins....... I did eat mostly buffets and they were fabulous with lots of

choices......(the one at the Paris is by far the best but pricey, lobster,

crab, shrimp, steak, the works!)........Well, I tried the reward meal thing

and the extra carbs made me swell up terrible, my ankles were the size of

elephants by day 2 and my skin was so swollen that it hurt!!!..........tip

2........lots and lots of water, it is sooooooooo dry out there.......get a

big bottle and fill with ice and water from your room so you don't have to

pay 3.00 for a bottle of water though!!

don't forget to go see the hoover dam!!

great tour at las vegas motor speedway too if you guys like racing

Annie

Nyree,

Where is the lo carb cafe? It would be nice to have your friend supporting you.

Where will you be staying? I do better if I just stay away from the dessert bar

altogether although there is a sugar free section. But the sugar free section

still has desserts made with flour. Depends on how sensitive you are. I'm very

sensitive to everything I shouldn't have so I don't have it.

Annie, were you at the Paris buffet on a Friday night? That's usually the night

you find seafood on the buffets in most any casino. Did you make it down to the

Reserve while you were here? They have a good buffet thought it costs more and

is much further away from where we live so we usually go to the one at Texas

Station. Of course, there's lots we haven't tried. The buffet at the Sahara is

another good one. The Rio is very expensive--I think they have 2 different ones.

I'm told the one at Sam's Town is good but haven't been there in years.

Oh, someone asked how long we've lived here. It was 4 years on May 13. And, by

the way, it hasn't gotten hot yet. This week has been in the upper 90's and

lower 100's. I'm dreading when it gets to the teens--110-120. That's when it's

hot!!

Today we are going to the truck show that is in town and I'll take a box of

Tyson Time Trimmers to nibble on during the day. I'll take one bottle of water

and fill it as needed while I'm there. I should get plenty of exercise walking

and standing. I can hardly wait!

Nope, I think it was a Wednesday actually, we didn't get to alot of places,

we were at the Luxor, so those close to there, then of course downtown to

see fairmont street!! We did well! came home $4800.00 richer!! I had a

blast! We did eat at one of the station casino's buffet and it was great

too! (the one on sunset.....actually " brain wave " it is the sunset station

hahaha)
