I like to run, and I'm going to Las Vegas next month....Has anyone run into problems running on the Strip?

Answer 1

Depends on the time of day you are wanting to run. The sidewalks can be packed at times. The earlier you get up the better. Sun starts to peak around 5-6am, so get going early. On the central part of the strip just past Bellagio, they are doing construction building the new City Center where Board Walk used to be. So, run on the other side of the street where MGM, Paris, Aladdin, Wynn are.

The safest thing is to run in the Gym at the property. You wont have people to contend with, cars, going up escalators, bridges etc. But if you do, make sure its at an early hour before the masses hit the streets. There is a park not to far from the Strip on Eastern. If you are driving there or have a rental car, take Las Vegas Blvd toward Mandalay Bay. Turn left on Russell Road *I think thats the name...it runs parallel to the airport runway*. At the end of the runway, turn left on to Eastern. There is a park about a block or so down.

Answer 2

It depends on the hotel you are staying at but at several I have seen recommended running routes published by the hotels, usually in the in-room guide. Certainly the concierge can help you as well with routing. The ones I saw usually got you off the strip for a good portion...going to Koval or Paradise and circling back to the strip.

The advice to get going early is good. I am an early riser and the strip is almost deserted between 6 and 8 or so.

Answer 3

If you're going to run on the strip you have to do it in the early morning, before 8 am.

A great place to run is at Red Rock National Park. It's about 30 minutes from the strip, you'll need a rental car to get there. It's one big loop. Great place for hiking and bike riding too.

Answer 4

I would run inside. All the casino's have gyms and there is a bally fitness there in town that will let you use for around 10 20 $ a day.

Answer 5

There are soooo many people around, you should be fine.


Have a great time!!
