Las Vegas Organic Raw Vegan Dining
2 locations
Great food preparation and presentation. My favorite is The Lakes location on the West side; has a view overlooking private Lake Sahara. Try the ginger drink -- real ginger knocks my socks off. WOW!
- For First-Timers: Chew the food well. Organic food is real food (i.e.: not commercially refined). Otherwise, your stomach may remind you.

Las Vegas Organic Do-It-Yourself Options
OPTION 1: Pick up Organic Food Bars: chocolate chip, vegan, Omega 3. MSRP: $2.69-$2.79 each. Trader Joe's: $1.99 each. Perfect for long days at a convention or trade show. WARNING: Don't leave them outside in the heat. They'll turn into pudding.
OPTION 2: Stay at a suites hotel, by the day or week. Stock your kitchen area with fresh organic produce and organic entrees. Cook on stove top or in microwave. (Personally, I don't like microwave ovens; I bring along a Cuisinart toaster oven, if I drive and plan to cook my own foods.) WARNING about weight sensors in hotel refrigerators.
OPTION 3: I also bring along a Tribest blender. Stock the room refrigerator with fresh organic fruits and vegetables, frozen organic berries, some Omega 3 oil. Trade Joe's has 64-oz bottles of organic juices: $3-$4 each. Blend fresh smoothies, protein drinks, green drinks.
Tribest Personal Blender PB-200 Super Convenience Pack
This blender is one of the best investments I've ever made. Easy to use and clean. Makes smoothies, protein drinks, salad dressing and more. Model PB-200 comes with additional cups and a grinding blade for making nut butters.
I can whip up a protein shake in less than 60 seconds. Drink out of the container cup with the sipping cover. A simple rinse in the sink cleans it up. Can get you out the door in a hurry. I take it with me whenever I travel !!

Pop It in the Toaster Oven: From Entrees to Desserts, More Than 250 Delectable, Healthy, and Convenient Recipes
Check out this book or something similar, if you're not used to cooking meals with a toaster oven. What's worked for me is: 1) small oven dish from Corning or Stoneware; 2) cooking temperature between 250-275 degrees (instead of typical 350-375); 3) cooking time about 2/3-3/4 of what's recommended on the frozen entree box. NOTE: I'm no expert at this. So be very careful, and consult an expert for more exact instructions.

Cuisinart TOB-50 Classic Toaster Oven Broiler, brushed stainless and black
I like this product for traveling and quick meal prep in a hotel/motel room. Cuisinart makes better models. And the broiling tray rusted out almost immediately. But for me, this is a reasonable balance between price and quality. Overall, the oven has held up well, and worked for me without any problems for quite a while.
