Hi,

will spend a month in Vegas for the WSOP and was wondering if there is any pay-as-you-go gym near the strip? I will be staying in the IP and don't think it has a gym or anything....

Thank you

Closest to the strip is 24hr Fitness on Trop and Decatur, you're probably best doing a month to month and just signing up and cancelling after like 2 days and using your month.

$10 day pass is reasonable enough for me, at least for Vegas.

I'm going to be in vegas for 5 weeks but be off the strip (really near the Boulevard Mall on Maryland pkwy), I obviously dont mind signing up for a month and then cancelling, although pay as you go would suit me better, but does anyone have any suggestions (a google search does not seem to be my friend today)

How nice is the I.P. gym, do they have up to date equipment?
What Harrah's has the nicest gym and pool in Vegas.

i would definitely pay a premium for one that was at a nice hotel with a view over the pool

I've only exercised at Harrah's on the strip and it was good enough for me. Since Harrah's doesn't charge resort fees it was $25/day but a third day could be had free if 2 days paid, ergo $50/3 days.

It was a bright room with all the usual equipment and I specifically liked the large containers of juice, of different varieties, which one could pour as much as one likes into individual glasses (Styrofoam). No extra charge for this and there was also fruit and definitely water bottles, again no extra charge.

Contrast this with Treasure Island which charges a resort fee ($16/day) and also advertises juice, fruit and water. the gym was dark, dingy even, and the juices were a large extra charge the figure I'm hesitant to enumerate for I still don't believe it. One of the women there at the spa told me that its only free in the spa but she had mercy on me and I received a 6 oz can of popeye orange juice. She was more than wonderful in her concern but i state this in reference to TI which should be more like their employees. End of TI rant.

Never stayed at Imperial Palace so don't know about the gym but I liked Harrah's.

thank you so much for the info guys, very much appreciated!!!

really nice, all i need are some free weights really just for the month I am there, so I guess this will do perfectly

If you have a diamond card, then all the Harrah's properties gyms are free except Caesars. I haven't tried the IP gym becuase in general IP is a dump. Flamingo gym is pretty nasty. Harrahs, Paris and Planet Hollywood are all decent enough for me. Harrah's is the smallest in terms of area and equipment and feels a little crowded with equipment. None of them have ever seem to be crowded with people. They all close @ 7 pm which is sometimes an annoyance for me.

Las Vegas Athletic Club has a $99 90 days non-primetime meaning you can not go between 4-8, m-f think would be cheaper than anywhere else if you plan on going everyday. LVAC has some great views to say the least.

So if I go down to the gym do I need to bring my diamond card and ID to get in free?

The 24 Hour Fitness that Jay mentioned costs about the same and you can go whenever you damn well please.

The IP gym is a week hotel gym. The cardio equipment is good. The free weights are OK but there is a limit on how high they go (I think 50ish pounds if I remember correctly). There is a paltry weight machine selection.

Big downside is that smoke seeps into the gym and its pretty disgusting. If you only do cardio and light free weights, you can get by in there but anything else you need another gym.
