1. Help! I took an evening flight to Las Vegas and need to find a dinner that won’t interfere with my sleep.

For evening arrivals, find a dinner option that won't disrupt your sleep schedule.

For optimal sleep, try not to consume anything other than water within the 2-3 hours before bedtime. If you arrive late and need to sleep within the next few hours, consider sleeping it off and waiting until morning for food. Otherwise, look for nourishing dishes that naturally provide calming nutrients like Magnesium, B Vitamins, and/or Tryptophan (a precursor to serotonin) – all of which can help you sleep. 

Dishes that may help support good sleep include Organic miso soup, whole grains like brown rice or quinoa, pasture-raised eggs, and healthy lean proteins like wild salmon or organic/pasture-raised chicken. Nuts and seeds like almonds and pumpkin seeds can also provide sustenance while helping to promote sleep-inducing serotonin production. 

Also, check your hotel room for Chamomile Tea, which may help calm and prime you for a good night’s rest.

2. How can I travel to Vegas and not feel terrible afterward?! I wanna stay on my game and at my best – up until the last day! How can I feel good throughout my trip?

Tips for staying on track and feeling good throughout your entire Las Vegas trip.

Start by sticking to your normal sleep schedule as closely as possible and getting your blood pumping in the mornings with some in-room exercises at a minimum.

Hydrate from the inside out! Keep water with you at all times and consider requesting a mini fridge for your room to stock up on healthy snacks and drinks like organic green juice and coconut water. Enjoy meals with fresh vegetables and hydrating soups. 

If you didn’t bring along healthy snacks like organic walnuts, almonds, and pumpkin seeds – be sure to pick some up ASAP. 

Tip: Inside the Healthy Anywhere app, select “More filters”: Grab & Go, Specialty Markets, and Fast Casual to stock up on bottled organic juice and healthy provisions.

If you drink alcohol, be sure to drink slowly and always with food.

And last, but certainly not least, don’t miss out on the most hydrating beverage in all of Vegas – the “Bee Authentic” with coconut water and Himalayan salt.

Search for “hydrate” to find it in our app!

Do make reservations in advance, especially for groups, and keep in mind that later seatings can be quite lively. If you’re looking for deep dinner conversation, avoid later seatings at spots like HaSalon that take on more of a club vibe as the night progresses. Book the earlier seating.

If you don’t have the app, start by searching for top-rated, acclaimed restaurants. Next, scope out each menu and select the ones that are not only highly acclaimed, but also have verified menus with a wide selection of fresh veggies and lean proteins like organic tofu or chicken, and wild salmon. Be sure to ask about sauces, oils, and cooking methods to make sure your meal is prepared to your specifications.

5. Help! I totally blew it last night and went on a bender with colleagues. How can I fuel myself to feel better and not feel nauseous and hung over all day?!

Hangover helpers - foods and drinks to feel better after a late night in Vegas

So you had a setback and aren’t feeling so hot… it happens! Remember, it’s important to take care of yourself, especially after late nights out. Don’t beat yourself up over a slip-up, and instead, focus on moving forward with healthy habits.

The good news is that a few healthy tricks can help get you back on track. First things first, does your hotel room have ginger tea? If not, search for “juice” in the Healthy Anywhere app and consider grabbing something with ginger. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that can help settle your stomach and ease nausea. 

If you’re up for it, grab a green smoothie with banana and ginger. (A smoothie would likely go down better than green juice at this point)

Hint: many of our recommended top Vegas juice & smoothie spots also have toast!
