Las Vegas is not exactly renowned for its healthy lifestyle, but if you
start to feel the need for exercise, opportunities do exist. For
visitors, the highest profile activity these days is golf.
The city
currently boasts around forty golf courses, and is adding more at a
ferocious rate. Most casinos do at least have a swimming pool, with the
larger ones on the Strip offering full-service spas and tennis
facilities as well. "Locals" casinos, on the other hand, usually out in
more residential neighborhoods, specialize in offering popular
year-round indoor pursuits such as bowling and ice-skating.
As for spectator sports ,
despite the best efforts of Mayor Goodman - who's on record as saying
that "until you have major league sports, you'll always be thought of as
a minor-league town" - Las Vegas lacks high-profile professional teams.

Although
tourists flock from all over the nation to watch events like
the Super Bowl on large-screen TVs - and of course, bet on
them - the only sport to regularly draw sizable crowds for
live action is championship boxing. |
