Las Vegas - fitness facilities

Anyone have an opinion as to which strip area hotel has the best fitness facilities?

I've only been to the Venetian one at their Canyon Ranch Spa. Nice facility with all the exercise equipment including sauna and whirlpool. However, there is a charge for use, I believe it was $35 or something like that.

you'll find machines that work your right bicep all over the place. :D
If you use two-machines next to each other, you can do it in tandem like an elliptical.

My biggest gripe about Vegas is that all the hotels charge for using the fitness center. It's usually $15 per visit and up. I refuse to pay it. To work out, I get the MP3 player on and go into the stairway/fire escape and run up and down the flights of stairs. One heck of a workout.

Another thing to do is to jog or briskly walk the strip in the morning. Not many people around before 8:00 am even on weekends. Quite refreshing and when you get tired, stop at a breakfast buffet. :p

I've used the Luxor's fitness facilities, and they're not bad. Lots of cardio machines, as well as, the basics for weights - both free weights and machines. Lots of televisions, complimentary towel service, fruit, snacks, drinks. They usually have free passes for some deals on their website, as do a number of strip properties. Otherwise, it's like $20 per 24 hour period.

Off strip, the Hard Rock has a very nice gym. Lots of machines, free weights, rock climbing wall-type thing, heavy bag, etc...

Most casinos include access to the fitness facilities if you also purchase spa services.

If you have membership with 24 hour fitness, there are a number of locations in Vegas, including one at the airport.

We drive over to the 24hr gym since we have the any club type membership. The hotel gyms are a rip-off.

I would imagine that the Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas would not charge for hotel guests to use fitness facilities.

Hi,

With Status at Hilton ( Silver & up) you get free access to the spa and fitness center.

The Luxor/MB offers sometimes include 2 for 1 or a free spa pass.

The hilton Embassy suites will have a free fitness center ( albeit they are off the strip)

Unfortunately, the opening hours are terribly short.

I heartily recommend a membership at Las Vegas Athletic Club. $35 gets you a week and a half-dozen locations.

Another alternative that I rather like - though not responsive to your particularl inquiry - the Summerlin Hampton Inn has a deal with the local Golds Gym.

Both LVAC and Golds are 24-hour.
