Enjoy and stay safe

Luxorgym_2 I just got back from the Luxor's gym. I had never been to a resort's gym before, and I thought that getting a start on my New Year resolution would be smooth. Actually, the Luxor's gym is nothing special. I was surprised.  There are just some machines, weights and televisions. Nothing there seems as state-of-the-art as my local gym. I used an older elliptical machine. Well, who goes to the Strip to work out?

Now getting ready to face the madness.

Access to the Strip is being cut to traffic as exits on the I-15 are closed off and the evening is starting. Tonight I am going to see the Goo Goo Dolls and then to LAX where the Hilton sisters are hosting.

I want to wish all of you a very happy 2008!

As a frequent Vegas visitor who is fanatical about working out, I can attest that almost all the resort gyms are pretty pathetic. When you conisder that most charge at least $20/visit, it really is sad. The gyms at resorts are, perhaps, the weakest links in their chain of ammenities.

I've since given up and bought a membership at a local Vegas gym. Although it takes time to fight traffic and travel to the gym, I'm saving money and I get to use decent equipment in a gym that doens't feel like a dungeon.
