Default Best place to work out while at WSOP ?

Slightly OT, I know, but it got barely any response in the health and fitness forum, so i thought I'd try a more Vegas-specific place:

I stayed at the Rio a couple weeks ago, and their gym was an absolute joke. Think of your standard weak-ass hotel gym with a few treadmills and a Universal...it's a couple notches up from that, but barely. I was pretty disappointed all in all.
Went to the Venetian gym after, and that was a really nice place -- but also pricey >> $35 / day.

Any suggestions? Gonna be back in LV for another week...is there something in between those two extremes? e.g. good free-weight selection for like $75 / week or something?

I stayed at the Wynn for five days in October. They had a very nice fitness room ... only $20 a day if you're staying there.

maybe look into a normal gym off the strip. im sure you can beat the las vegas strip prices and probably enjoy a better gym.

Las Vegas Athletic Clubs

$35 a week or $15 a day. The one I go to, it's on Eastern a few miles southeast of the strip, is amazing. It's easily the best gym I've ever been to. Open 24 hours, tons of weights, tons of machines, pool, health/food bar, pool, lots of hot chics, and not insanely crowded.

any vegas hotels that dont charge you to use the gym? I know some hotel stay and play packages give you 1 free spa/gym pass, but do any offer more than 1?

You can work out for free at 24-hour Fitness. There is one on Decatur/Tropicana and near Valley View/Dessert Inn (3 minutes ride from the Rio).

Here is a link to a free coupon:

Free 7-Day Coupon

The one on Decatur/Tropicana is SUPERIOR to the second one. But its around 7 minutes away from the Rio by taxi.
