Tips for Eating Cheap and Healthy on your Las Vegas Vacation

It was a shock to my wallet when  I first saw the menus at the las Vegas resort on my trip.  Once in the hotel, you are somewhat held ransom; everything is there and it is more convienient to just dine in. On your first night at the Las Vegas resort,you are tired and hungry so a $10.00 hamburger doesn't seem too bad. However, if you plan your stay carefully you can eat less expensive if you are prepared to venture away from the confines of the resort.

Eat away from the resort as often as you can. If you try to rise early in the morning you can find a nearby diner which will give you a great breakfast for about $5.00. Try the Miracle Mile shops at Planet Hollywood.

Eat at Food courts. If you are out anyway, food courts have very affordable menus even though much of the food may be fast, you can still select great salads and healthy wraps.

Budget your Food. You can set a spending limit on dining while in Las Vegas as well as a limit on how much you eat. If you eat small meals while on the go then you don't have to eat three large meals per day.

Avoid Buffets and Theme Dining. Can you really eat at $40.00 buffet at MGM Grand? When you purchase a buffet you have to finish it there no matter what. If you got too much food elsewhere you can always have it to go if you can;t finish it. Just ask yourself if you can eat $40.00 worth of food at one sitting especially if it may not be food you really crave.

Eat away from the strip as often as you can. I found food was much cheaper in the Freemont area than on the strip.

The Las Vegas Resorts make it very tough for guests not to eat elsewhere but if you are on a budget, you must. If you want to treat yourself one nigh on a lavish meal then by all means but eat wisely on a daily basis

RV Trip to St Malo Provincial Park, Manitoba

St Malo Provincial Park ©Ashauntae(2020) St Malo Beach Having just acquired our first motorhome , it was time to start planning trips to campgrounds. We would start  in Manitoba and work our way across Canada and eventually to the United States. To our surprise available campgrounds were in short supply. It seems like due to COVID-19 and stay at home orders, campgrounds had become a high demand commodity. ©Ashauntae(2020) Tiffen Allegro Motorhome With perservance we managed to find three nights in the St Malo Provincial park in mid July. The highlight of St Malo is it's family friendly twin beaches.  One of the beaches called sunset beach is the ideal location to watch the sunset. St Malo beach is also great for swimming in this motor-free waters here which also makes it a great location for canoeing, kayaking and sailboarding. ©Ashauntae(2020) Sunset Beach St Malo ©Ashauntae(2020) Sunset at St Malo Other attractions included a mini golf, several hiking trails with easy acc...

A visit to the Pirate Museum in Nassau Bahamas

pirate museum, Nassau, Bahamas, image Ashauntae Located in the heart of downtown Nassau is the Pirate Museum and a must see for tourists who want a glimpse into the history of piracy especially as it relates to the Caribbean.  Inside the museum you will find a true replica pirate ship which hosts most of the exhibits on two floors. Enter if you dare. It can be like entering a haunted house with sights and sounds of an era past on a pirate ship. The first room on the ship belongs to the ship's carpenter who had the most important job on the ship. The ship holds many historical facts about famous pirates, their conquests and their demise. There are replica jails, re-enactment image  of a gruesome surgery at sea, and other pirate artifacts. On the outside of the museum you can take your photo locked in the stocks. All in all it was a very informative experience.
