It was time for us to find out, on Day 2 of our trip.
Please read on for Part Three of the VeggieGirl Gone Wild? blog post series:
**Saturday, May 16th: Morning and Afternoon**
I started my day with some raw P.B.J. Tasty Toast from the Go Raw Café. An all-raw restaurant right in Vegas that delivers?? Dream come true.
This Tasty Toast was comprised of raw almond butter & jam on sweet bread (which can be purchased from the restaurant's online store). Excellent morning fuel.
**Please excuse the out-of-focus photo!! I was hungry and did not thoroughly check my camera's settings ahead of time, haha**
My sister-in-law ordered the #18 Stra-bana Smoothie for delivery, which contained strawberries, bananas, and dates. Perfectly sweet.
My trainer back home said that I "better keep up with training while on vacation - no breaks." Tough love!! So...
... here I am warming up with the trainer at the gym (in the Palazzo, where we stayed).
About to "officially" begin our training session...
Some of you have asked about my training progress, so here is a quick glimpse at that, haha.
Awkward expression on my face, but it still shows some more of my training progress ;-)
After my training session and freshening up a bit, I was more than ready to refuel. Luckily I had pre-ordered lunch from the Go Raw Café that morning.
**Major perk of raw cuisine = you do not have to worry about the food getting cold ;-)
I ordered the Perfect Pasta, which was made up of zucchini "pasta" primavera with a blend of marinara, pesto, olive oil, sun dried tomatoes, & garlic. It was also served with Garlic Bread "Stix," (which can be purchased from their online store). An epic dish!!
**Again, I apologize for the out-of-focus photos**
After training in the morning and an afternoon filled with shopping and casino-hopping (played some slots and table games like Blackjack and Roulette), it was almost time to get ready for our big night (and eventually morning) out.
But there was one more thing that took place on Saturday afternoon...
I guess that you will just have to wait until my next post to find out more about that ;-)
**Please stay tuned for Part Four of the VeggieGirl Gone Wild? blog post series!!**

hey VG.
i admire your dedication to training...but i dont see why you couldnt have taken a break while on holiday? ..its seems a bit compulsive and arent you suppose to take breaks between exercise to let your muscles rest etc... i dont know just a thought.
but looks like a great time!
WOAH! Check out those muscles, I wouldnt want to mess with you, those are truely impressive!
yayuh! look at those guns!!!
and i am dying to try raw pasta!!! those dishes look AMAZING!
This is not related to Vegas, but on your most recent video you mentioned the Sunshine Falafel patties...I found them today and they are awesome. Highly recommended.
Your arms look amazing! It is great that your strength training is paying off! I am currently also trying to gain some muscle mass but am struggling to make much progress!
I'd be really interested to hear more about your workouts and diet for gaining muscle- it is obviously working perfectly for you!
Nice muscles chica! Looks like those training sessions are DEF paying off!! A raw restaurant that delivers? How awesome is that! The breakfast looks amazing
the food looks delish!
and you are quite the lil workout queen! AWESOME progress!

Holy biceps!!!
A raw restaurant that delivers? Oh my gosh, I'd be in heaven!
Nice guns VeggieGirl. Makes me want to go out and hire my own personal trainer. Looking good my friend. :)
I want that raw toast with almond butter!
Oooh, you look like you're having such a fantastic time :) Delicious eats and, uh, killer guns :P That first picture reminded me a bit of Lara Croft, haha! :P
Can't wait for the next installment!
Look at those guns! The black and white makes you look even more intimidating :)
That is so cool that you could order delicious vegan food! Wow!!! You look great! Your trained should be so proud of you. I can only dream of having a trainer some day!!! Cant wait for the next installment. :o)

Your arms look fantabulous! I want to hire your trainer. ;P
Hope your weekend is wonderful and I can't wait for part 4.
With Love,
Emily
All the raw food sounds great! I can't wait for part 4- too much suspense!!!
Liz, those arms!! I would be so embarrassed to show you mine. All the food looks delicious, especially the zucchini pasta.
That breakfast & lunch! What a delicious experience for you. Glad you got to enjoy some raw meals that were up to par!
Keep em coming girrrrl!
I just love how you were able to find all these amazing places that serve raw food... how yummmy! :D
Sounds like a lot of fun with the trainer!
wow those are some pipes lol you have been doing some serious training girl!
Oh wow, such a tasty tasty tasty time! Totally love that zucchini pasta! I have never tried something like that before! Looks so good!
buahaha you are such a tease, VG!!! can't wait for part four :)
your eats have got my mouth wateringgggg.. and you look gorgeous, girlie :) I'm so glad your having such an awesome time <3
Well you could certainly kick my butt with those guns!
GREAT pipes!!!
Love that there was a raw restaurant full of goodies for you to eat! The lunch part sounded especially tasty!
Your raw food looks delicious! I love hearing about your trip!
Yum - that food looks awesome. I'm so glad you were able to get food you could eat and liked AND got delivered! How cool is that? And hey, those arms of yours are definitely muscular - training must be working. :) Oh, you are such a tease with the keeping us waiting for the next post. LOL. But that is okay - I'm really enjoying this trip. It's good to see you get out and about and enjoying life after all that stress you dealt with in school and on the blogs so recently. I'm so happy for you. :)
yessss that dish looks YUMMOO!! i love you VegMama you're just wonderful and your muscles are lookin mighty fine!
xo
The raw food looks great! And your arms are very impressive! I remember working out in Vegas once, and it was SOOO hard. I couldn't get through my cardio workout... Anyway, good for you to get in a workout! Can't wait for Veggie Girl Gone Wild?, Part 4!
I'm loving this recap! And so happy that all the raw eats turned out so nicely :)
Thats awesome they have trainers in the hotels, I didn't know you could do that!
Next time you're down there you better Food-Saver some of that amazing looking toast and send it to me :-)
<3 YA!
vg, i hate to criticize but these pictures are the gym (and after)? are they really necessary? i think it sends the wrong message to readers...especially when a lot of your commenters/readers have eating disorders. not being able to relax for 3 days on vacation is very obsessive - especially being your size. also, the fact that you felt the need to post pictures in your workout attire is a bit too much. i hope you will consider my opinions, coming from someone who does not have any eating issues whatsoever. take care. and i look forward to seeing the rest of your wild vacation in vegas!
look a those guns ;) That raw pb& j for breakfast looks a-mazing!
Geez, look at those arms! :-D
ummmm ... i think you just lost me with that photo of pb&j 'toast' ... *drool*
As for ya guns ... holy moly .... (hides own arms in shame) looks like ya training sessions really did pay off! haha!!
VG, please STOP the tease, just posts everything in ONE LONG post. please? I'm sure everyone wouldn't mind that. Or am I the impatient one, heh!
Hi VG,
I love that you made Vegas work for YOU...I would never have thought that one could find raw, vegan eats there (home of the ginormous buffets?!), but somehow you did it and that is awesome! It really shows that there are no excuses not to make the best healthy choices for ourselvs, no matter where we are!
Love the training pics...I haven't seen any "before" pics, but your arms look awesome!
I am so loving this Vegas recap!
Oh man, that raw lunch looks awesome!!
Way to keep up with your training :)
Look at you and your muscles! Love it! I've never been to Vegas, but if I do go, I am definitely hitting up that raw delivery restaurant! Talk about brilliant. Oh... and you got another shout-out on the blog. You are just so quote-able!
Omg veggie girl looks like such a fabulous time. That raw food looks AMAZING- how convenient that you could order it!! And your guns! Whew! Looks like those training sessions are paying off!!
Look at you!! Love those pipes, baby! And this delicious raw food! I could easily eat that 'round the clock. Hmmm, San Fran better have some raw restaurants.
You are killin' me with these teasers. Girfriend, you know how to keep readers coming back. Holla to journalism school!
By the way, I loved the dress in the last post so much that I made sure to show MamaJ when I came home this weekend!
Can't wait to see the rest. Love ya!
Holy moly! Look at those arms! Niiiice ;O
Looks like your having an amazing time. I love Vegas and wish I was there :(
Can't wait till the next post! You are really keeping us readers in suspense, haha.
How fun!
I've been following your kitchen adventures for a while, but never left any feedback. You're recipes are fun and inspire my own baking experiments. And in response to your videos regarding rude commenters, kudos to your confidence and authority!
For lack of a more mature adjective, you are awesome. :)
I am loving reading about your Las Vegas trip, it sounds like it was a lot of fun! Your arms are looking great ;)
I just wanted to say that I made the cupcakes with avocado in them from your last post before the Vegas trip and they are absolutely delicious - thank you SO much for posting that recipe!
VeggieGirl is BUFF! Look at those guns! Nice work!! :D
The raw food looks incredible. I am definitely making sure I live in a place that has some food place like that. YUMM!!
The zucchini pasta looks soo yummy!
Wow Liz! I've read all your Vegas posts and that's so cool! Looks like you guys had a blast! You totally deserved it! I'm really enjoying looking at all the pictures, thanks for sharing!
WHO would have EVER known they had raw vegan dining fare in the city of sin!! wow. im going to **try** and remember that next time i go. I hope you managed to get your hands on some gluten free booze while you were celebrating your bday!
heart you veggie girl!!!!!!!
Which way to the gun show? Oh, apparently it's right here ;)
Looking forward to some more highlights from your mini vacation :)
Looks like you had a great time in Vegas. I've been enjoying the posts and can't wait to read the rest.
I made you PB Pretzel Blondies today. Yum! My blog has pics of the blondies. And probably will all week, b/c it will be my nightly dessert.
You lucked out with getting the raw place that delivers.
Oh and I always get a trainer while on vacation as well. Makes me feel better about all the bad food I eat. ;)
Nice blog... :).
HOLY GUNS!
Thanks for the resto tip - I'm gonna try and remember to get some eats from Go Raw when I go in July!
Great pictures and great food. YOU LOOK FABULOUS!
Wow it sure looks like you have been working hard! Good for you! Don't you just love it when the hotel you're staying at has a nice gym? I may be a freak for this, but it makes me sooo happy when I go on vacation and get to experience a new, different gym to sweat in!
That raw "pasta" looks delicious! Ahh!
Can't wait for you next post :)
How awesome that you could order something healthy and have it delivered! That is the best. Those are some sweet "guns" you have, keep up the good work. I'm still pretty new as far as reading your blog, so you may have mentioned this before, but what type of training do you do? Any specific moves you think work better than others?
You are so good, keeping up with the gym on vacation! I usually gain 5 lbs per trip!
Hey, put the guns away before some kid gets hurt :)
I'm totally down with anything that has PB and J, so that looks great. Nothing like a nice protein rich meal after a workout, right?
Keep it up Liz and you'll be able to lift your dance partner if you want :)
Look at those arms!!
Vegas would be so much fun. And that toast looks taaassstttyy.
This Go Raw Cafe looks amazing. I must keep it in mind for my next Vegas trip. Love the progress photos. You look strong!! Those trainer sessions did pay off!!
WOW! I am loving these posts! This all looks like so much fun. I'd love to see the Beatles show.
Can't wait for the next part.
Hey Liz,
The Perfect Pasta looks wonderful and so do you!
Awesome raw eats! I love that PB&J yum!!! I wish they had a raw place that delivered around here! Actually, I wish they had a raw place in general!! :) I always have to go into the city to get my gourmet raw fix!
Looking good! I guess all the training is paying off! You go girl!
awesome guns liz!!!
those raw food creations look amazzzinnngggg
nice arms!!! i think you could whoop my butt! ; )
i put up a merengue video on my blog- i know you love the dancing girl.... watch if you have time!
love the recaps of the trip so far!!
Looks like you are having a great time! I've been to the Raw Cafe and it was amazing. I'll have to try the one on windmill now that I'm on that side of town. Dang, look at those guns girl!

HEY GIRL! i know this is an older post but im so behind...
You look like you had an amazing time on your vaca... that food looks delish.. yummm... and who says raw food is boreing!!!
and look at your progress!!!i want a trainer too!
I've heard Go Raw Cafe is great, looks like you proved it!
Looks like you had fun in vegas. I went there for my 21st in april as well.
First time I made it to your blog.... looks like I will have something to keep me distracted from studying for summer classes!
Hey, I'm Phoebe and I've basically been a lurker on here thus far.
But I just have to say, I am so impressed with how muscular you are! It kind of gives my hope - after I decided to transition from vegetarianism to veganism (still a work in progress I feel I must add) I focused so much more on cardio because I felt like strength was a lost cause. But to see that you can do this - with out even eating soy to boot - is truly inspirational, not to be too sappy.
I'm also in complete awe of how truly healthy your relationship with food seems to be.
Pheebs
It is rather interesting for me to read that post. Thanks for it. I like such topics and anything connected to them. I would like to read a bit more on that blog soon.
