Wonder how far you walked in Vegas

Thanks to the I-phone: 31.6 miles over 4 days
First trip to Vegas, I walked from the old Showboat to about 2/3 of the way to the strip. 3:00 in the afternoon.....in August.... wearing a three piece suit. Yes, I was a dumb ass. 1981.

probably did not quite average what you did per day. Did have a just short of 10 mile day last week. Oh ya it was 114 degrees. But hey, it is a dry heat
From down town: BUS.
Strip: 5.3 miles. Dumb idea.
4 casino properties.ONLY 4.
Back on the Deuce.
Toast.

I've never tried to figure out how much I've walked during a Las Vegas visit, but one June afternoon, I walked from the Sahara to the Tropicana and back, with a bunch of stops going both ways. I had a Nike blowout that afternoon. Apparently the street asphalt and sidewalks were hot enough to compromise the seam on the sole of one of my shoes, leaving the front half of it flopping with each step.
In the early days (middle 1980's), I would walk somewhat long distances. I'm guessing during a three day visit that I would rack up maybe 15 miles................but nothing like the 31 plus miles Chefantwon recently clocked. Nowadays, I walk maybe a total of 6 miles the entire weekend.

This minimal walking is for two reasons. Firstly, I've had 10 knee surgeries on my left knee (including two full replacements), plus one spinal fusion. Secondly, I have no great interest to tour the newest and reworked casinos. After doing this twenty times, I've lost interest.

Some things never change...


Friend and I once walked from Vegas World (now Strat) to whatever the last hotel on the Strip was...might have been the Trop. Maybe 1987 or so.

During a sandstorm. We were too young and stupid to duck inside someplace.
The "sandstorm" wasn't that fierce, but enough to remember to this day.
From our rom at Paris to our seat at the Bacchanel buffet was one and a quarter miles. Couldn't believe it was that far, lol.
