Read the Aladdin Master Thread in the Starwood forum about some of their promo rates. Some promo rates provide a pair of free spa passes per stay. However, their spa closes around 7pm or 8pm. You're right that your SPG status doesn't help. The hotel does not own the spa.
It's not too hard to find 2-for-1 spa passes for some hotels. I have some for the Aladdin's Elemis Spa (ask for the spa's flyer at the hotel's front desk), and I see them often for Paris' Mandara spa in at least one of the Vegas coupon magazines. Some others, too, though I don't recall them off the top of my head. Kind of useless if you're travelling by yourself, though.
I've never tried, but you could certainly ask for a spa manager about a getting a multi-day deal.
It's not far off the strip to get to one of the big gyms such as the Las Vegas Athletic Club or 24 Hour Fitness.
