Surviving in Las Vegas- the "Sin City"- My Raw travel experience in Las Vegas Updated Aug 2007
by John Kohler
Amongst all the smoke filled casinos and gambling of Las Vegas,
Nevada, are some great raw resources..

Other points of interest to "survive" in Las Vegas I ran
across:

I always look for Trader Joe's whenever I travel.
They are a "unique grocery store"- they have fresh unpasturized carrot juice,
tangerine and orange juices, they also have some fresh fruits and veggies (some organic
- esp. cherry tomatoes, and pre-washed bagged lettuce), also organic dried fruits,
and some raw nuts.

CALL TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE OPEN! They are usually only open in the summer time, and in the
mornings! They have melons, peaches, tomatoes, zuchinni, cukes, apples and more!
I was told they do not spray, probably use conventional fertilizer, NPK, but the
prices are CHEAP, but the quality is not so great. They should be using rock dust and
compost!
Have fun and try to stay away from that aweful casino buffet
food! |
