    Bacardi Anejo mixed with Diet Coke/lime is the best.. We tipped bartenders $20/us a day
    They never had any problem giving us top rail mixers
    The Gym, as posted above is a little weak, I do Cross Fit 5 days a week, even on vacation. There is a nice pull up bar near the sexy pool, dumbbells only go up to 40 lbs.
    Bench/chest press goes to about 225 lbs I was able to find enough equipment for a good work out.

    I am assuming this is Dave:)

    Get a couple of empty sandbags and bring them with you. Fill them on the beach. If my military time is at all accurate there is no limit to the amount of pain that can be inflicted on a muscle with a couple of sand bags, though it sounds like you do more of a heavy low rep workout.

    To answer your question, no there is not 450 of free weights and the dumbells are pretty light. I doubt there is a good commercial gym on the strip. You might look into the gyms at other hotels and just walk into one. Nobody ever crashes a gym so it would be pretty easy to get away with, I would jog up the beach to the appropriate hotel and jog right in, checking my pulse as I passed the security.... Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

    good ideas. actually the sand bags idea is EXCELLENT! I can model my kettlebell workout.


    My knees are shot from years of football so jogging isn't park of my w/o but the bikes look pretty good, and i can probably get a pretty good cardio from 3-4 sands bags for 40 mins or so. We'll be down there for 11 days and i don't want to take that much time off.

    Most of the resorts you need a key to get into the gym. I've never found a decently equipped gym at a resort that was really worth going to.

    I'd didn't think the treadmills weren't too bad ... with a view of the sports pool. They have free weights but some some reason they all felt pretty heavy....lol

    Thats a great work out while on vacation. The weights are very light, 40lbs will probably be ok for curling and triceps but nowt else.
    When we went last it was a case of increasing the reps to make up for the lack of weight. After doing this 3 times a day I felt great and didn't feel guilty for drinking as much vodka as I could lol.
    Must remember to get Lynfa plenty of drinks before I go to the gym, would be a crime if she actually had to go to the bar herself lol ;)

    How many reps per set do you do 3 times a day? Never heard of anyone doing 3 of the same workouts in a day unless they were just "puffing" really light weights.
