Vegas Getbiggers
« on: June 06, 2012, 05:20:42 PM »
Going there June 27 to July 3rd.  What are your guys' favourite spots?

(bodybuilding related): Staying at the Venetian - I heard their hotel has a gym, does anyone know if it's any good?  Otherwise, I read that there's a Gold's shortly off the strip, any good gyms actually on the strip?  

Is anyone else going to be there around the same time?

Headed there this weekend with my wife for her 31st. My third trip of the year. I usually go twice a year. It has something to do for couples or single dudes. EDC is this weekend, if it were ten years ago I would've been down.

Absurd day rate, if I remember correctly.

Did Keith's gym ever get off the ground?

Venetian gym is ok.  I think 30 bucks a day.  Most gyms in the hotels on the strip are fine 4star plus... I always negotiate that with the front desk during check in. If you play they will comp gym visits, massages, etc...

Even if you're staying at the venetian you have to pay to use their gym?  I didn't research much but I thought I read somewhere that the hotel has an extra  $20 "resort fee" which has to be paid for each room when you check in, on top of their quoted rate (ex. if two people stay in a room or one person solo its still the same $20 resort fee) and I thought the resort fee covers the gym, but do you still have to pay extra?

The golds on flamingo road is closed yopu have to get a cab ride out to west lake mead dr.  That is where you will find what you seek.

that sucks, i was thinking of checking that out, I think my local Gold's membership is supposed to work anywhere, not sure it's worth cabbing too far off the strip for a workout though.  How far is west lake mead dr?

I believe so, but it's been several years since I've been there.  A cab is going to run at least $30 bucks too.

The Venetian has The Canyon Ranch Spa.  It is an excellent hotel gym. Excellent.

Expensive though.

For everyone saying it's expensive, was the drop-in or 3-day pass fee quoted to you as a guest at Venetian?  i.e. were you staying at Venetian and they still charged you extra to use their gym, or were you staying at another hotel and just tried dropping in at their gym.

I'm going to be staying there, that's why I ask, my previous understanding is that as a guest at the hotel they let you use their gym for no drop-in charge (it's supposed to be included in the $20/day "resort fee" that you pay regardless of whether or not you actually work out).

I'd call them and check, but I believe you pay above and beyond the resort fee even if you're staying there.  You might be able to schmooze your way out of it once you get there  ;)
