When you’re traveling, it’s so much easier to give in to food cravings and indulge all the way. On our recent visit to Las Vegas, I’m proud to note that my self-imposed dietary restrictions was somehow upheld. Yes, I did cheat a bit because I wanted to really feel that I was really on vacation. Can you blame me?

The four of us restricted ourselves from indulging in a lot of the buffet offers from the many hotels on the strip. We only went once to a buffet dinner at MGM Grand. The buffet spread did not disappoint. While I only enjoyed the seafoods and vegetable dishes, my traveling buddies went all the way and enjoyed the whole array of foods on the buffet spread.

I was lazy to take photos, except for my dessert plate:

One of the more memorable dinners that we had was at the Lombardi’s, located inside the Miracle Mile Shops at the Planet Hollywood Hotel. While the Miss Universe Pageant was ongoing at the Planet Hollywood Hotel, we were enjoying the fine Italian fare nearby.

Ahhh… food. Maybe, someday I will once again eat the foods that I used to love.
