I have just returned from a week in Las Vegas. Certainly an experience and completely different way of life to what I am used to. It was my first trip to America and will definitely be back although not somewhere I would choose to live, although the bright lights of the casino and constant flow of people everywhere was exciting for the week.
We were fortunate enough to be staying in a suite with a kitchenette which was great as left plenty of space for snacks and wine before heading out for the evening.
We dined in a few different places. A couple of my favourite was the local Mexican inside the hotel we were staying in which made everything fresh. I ate there a few times and enjoy a taco bowl filled with brown rice, black beans, spicy chicken and fresh pico de gallo, cilantro dressing and homemade guacamole. My favourite! Another place I enjoyed was a Chinese noodle bar which served delicious ginger chicken with stir fried chow mein and fresh prawn dim sum, another one of my favourite foods!
Of course I had all of the usual food while I was there including steak and eggs for breakfasts, huge fluffy pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, all accompanied by a spicy bloody Mary of course. When on holiday…
On the last night we went to an Italian restaurant in the hotel which served great cocktails and lovely homemade pasta dishes. Also delicious.
The food was great but definitely not as good as the food scene in Scotland. Everything was very fast paced and available anywhere such as poolside nachos and cocktails.
For now I will get back to clean eating and think of where to go for my next holiday.
