Any recommendations for Las Vegas? I'd like to go to Red Rock Canyon, but wonder if I need some serious trail running experience (I fall a lot, even on flat ground lately).

I've been a few times but it was before I was a runner. You don't want those kind of recommendations.

Hahaha. It is a strange question to pose, so I did it here. I really don't care to gamble. I've thrown enough money away on stupid things in my life.

The hotel apparently has a pool, a tattoo place, a beauty salon, a UPS store, a florist, a pinball hall of fame, 5 or 6 restaurants (including a food court, a strip club, a comedy club, so on and so forth. I see no listing for a gym. It's Vegas and I am somehow surprised.

Oh, and I always take recommendations even if I don't follow up on them :)

If I have too much to drink and my subconscious decides that this is a good idea, I am hacking your blog and posting it as your profile pic :)
