Heading to Vegas on business next week. Previously I've rented a car and driven ~5-10 miles to a USMS workout there. Thats not likely to happen this time. I'm still hopeful that there is someplace on or near the strip (near Mandalay?) that will suffice for not losing all feel for the water for a few days.
Any local knowledge out there? Anything outdoors open in October?
One of these days I'm going to write an iphone app to locate the nearest lappable swimming pool to any zip code, or add the feature to a GPS unit...
Thanks
Steve
There are 2 very good clubs in Vegas if you want a coached workout, niether
is on the strip.
Vic's club at Desert Breeze (west side of town) has a very strong group and Vic is a great coach with a lot of character (he used to be the UNLV coach).
On the east side of town (Henderson) you have the Lowry group...another very good team wth more triathletes than Vic's...more info here:

There is a 50m public pool in north Vegas but it is in a REALLY bad part of town so I don't usually tell people to go up there.
By the way, for those of you who are fellow road warriors you should look into a membership at 24 Hour Fitness. They have a large number of clubs nationwide and the vast majority have decent 25yd pools...
