How could I blog about Vegas and not mention the food? As a tourist destination, the Strip is heaving with food options. There’s definitely something to suit all budgets and all tastes. I had a couple of “must-visits” but otherwise its fun just to wander along and find somewhere that takes your fancy. Due to the huge amount of restaurants, most don’t need booking and don’t have a long wait for a table which is ideal when you realise that that a “1 inch” walk on Googlemaps actually takes over an hour…

We didn’t have breakfast at our hotel and started our day with a visit to Starbucks instead which got us up and out nice and early (American hotels don’t seem to do the “tea-making facilities thing”).

I am a massive fan of Food Network UK – especially Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (as is Mummy Lipstick). We walked past Guy Fieri’s Vegas Bar and Kitchen on our first day and headed back for dinner on our second. If you’re a fan of the show then this place is awesome and even if you’ve never seen the show and love burgers, wings and big portions then you’ll love it too. Quick warning – there isn’t really anything vegetarian on the menu and it’s not exactly “healthy” but this was such a fun meal and we even bought the book on our way out! While it’s more expensive than some of the “Dives” on the show, our meal was great value and service was really good – we had a constant supply of Diet Cokes with new ones appearing even before we’d finish the first glasses.

Turkey picnic roll and quad fries. Taking advantage of being a “sort of, kind of, flexible” type vegetarian.

Mummy Lipstick had a burger with bacon and mac and cheese because she’d never tried mac and cheese before (!!) and it’s always a big hit on the show.

I don’t think this picture really conveys how big everything was!

We obviously didn’t *need* dessert but who does need a deep fried brioche s’more sandwich?

Snack options are not hard to find, it’s pretty much impossible to go hungry in Vegas. Froyo, ice cream and the ubiquitous frozen margaritas are good bets given how hot it is on the Strip. We also popped into Walgreens for fruit because and water because even my sweet tooth can only handle so much.

Froyo for lunch – there are loads of places for froyo on the strip. This was from the self service counter at Wallgreens and was $5 which makes me never want to buy London froyo again.

Another s’more – this time from the Hershey’s Cafe at New York New York (almost feel like we spent more time at this hotel than our own!).
