Phelps having fun in Vegas

I have noticed that a number of high end Resorts/hotels in Vegas and other places like to call their "large" pools "olympic sized" If they just mean to say larger than your average hole-in-the-ground hotel pool, than I could see this as a semi-accurate statement (at best). I have never been to a hotel or resort that had any type of official lap pool - most are too shallow and overcrowded to get a swim in.

You can zoom in pretty tight in the satellite view in Google Maps and the large pool at the Venetian definitely isn't 50 meters. I'd say it's closer to 33 meters. Certainly not over 40. I just used the scale in the lower corner of the google maps image. The pool measures out to about 35m. It looks like the Vegas ad needs a math refresher course. :) But hey, who says P and Cavic can't do a race via multiples of 35 :)

When I am in Vegas, the last thing on my mind is swimming laps in the hotel pool.

It's official, the Venetian pool is olympic size www.bestofvegas.com/.../ I never trust anything saying a pool is Olympic sized. Looking at the photo it looks nowhere near 50 meters long to me.

I swam in the outdoor pool at Bellagio this past Spring. No idea how long it actually was but it was at least 50 meters.

No one commented on the quote "Let loose in Ann Arbor is like pig mud wrestling", but hey I caused me to bust a gut. Living in Lost Wages now, it is not all sin, there are more churches per capita than any other large city. And lets face it, even the dance girls, strippers etc all know Phelps has money and those HUGE hands and feet:hijack:

Yes, I like it, too. I'd love to spend an evening listening to George's tales from his marathon swimming days. :canada: :drown: :canada: :drown: :canada: Along with that thought Anna Lea.....I support Snoopy for President as well!!!!

Phelps has gold medals and Adelson has gold leaf throughout the hotel of which has a 50m outdoor pool Is this pool fit for competition? Phelps vs Cavic in a $1,000,000 rematch at the Venetian, anybody?
