Question of the Day - 28 January 2022

From the front of Paris to the back where it connects to Bally’s and back to the front of Bally’s is probably a considerable distance.

Caesars and the Forum shops. That inside perimeter is llloooonnnngggg!

To echo Dave_Miller_DJTB, we walk from the Caesars front desk through the casino to the Forum shops, turn left and go all the way, then turn around and go all the way in the other direction. Just that walk is a little under a mile. Then we go back the way we came, and we're well over 1.5 miles. You can add more steps by starting at the Octavius tower, by circling through the casino, or by walking through the shops. When we're feeling adventurous, we exit the Forum shops, brave the heat for 30 seconds, and cross over to the Venetian-Palazzo for another mile walk. Then we're exhausted and we swear we'll never do that again. That's our routine.

We regularly do the Miracle Mile shops at Planet Hollywood when we want an indoor walk.  It’s circular, so you can do as many laps as you like. 

Stanley Donglethwat of Skeleton Flats, Nebraska, gambled and drank into the wee hours. He had a room at the casino, but couldn't remember the number. So he stumbled up and down the hotel corridors, from floor to floor, knocking on random doors and asking anyone who answered, "IS THISH MY ROOM?" He was ultimately unsuccessful, and was found later that morning passed out, face down, in the stairwell between the eighth and ninth floors, somehow minus his pants and one shoe. Security later estimated that he'd traveled nine miles up and down the corridors.

So that's the record for the longest indoor walk.

Excalibur to MB is my favorite but Forum shops can be forever if you get lost in there. 

The longest walk for me is always the passenger boarding bridge when leaving Vegas.
Especially if my luck had just turned better that day.

I think the questions & answers here are misunderstood and the person asking could have done a better job. There is a big difference between getting walking and getting your steps in. Most of the answers and comments refer to point-to-point walks but that's only one way to do that. Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote in his book about how when he was filming movies he requested to stay in a high-rise hotel. He would walk the fire escape stairwells twice a day to get his steps in. So I think if someone is serious about 10,000 steps (which is undoubtedly a lot of steps) and wants to stay out of the weather, you'd stay in a place like the Cosmopolitan and use the stairwells there. 

5 minutes from the Signature to the front of the MGM??

I'd say it's somewhere between 2/3 and 3/4 of a mile so unless someone is running it's pretty unlikely to manage it in 5 mins

I've done the walk twice in the last 24 hours (from the Signature to the poker room anyway). I'm a quick walker and it took me 12 minutes one way and probably slightly longer on the way back as I might have been "over served" during the course of the evening! 

When in Vegas I never have a problem getting my steps in, in fact I average over 20,000 every day just walking the walk. There are days at home when I don't even get my 10,000. The best day I ever had there was just over 28,000 steps in a day. Everything in Vegas is so far to get to, even getting back to your rental car will add steps, from your room to show or restaurant and wondering from machine to machine.

after you bust out of the wsop tournament and have to walk the walk of shame to the exit...believe me, it's a long, long walk...

Harrah's and Linq used to be connected by a short outdoor roof at the monorail.  In vegas, I average about 9 miles a day... according to my iphone.  Wife and I walk a lot at home, but seems we get double exercise in vegas.

Used to be?

I can’t imagine how they would change things to make that connector unnecessary. Nor can I imagine a reason why they’d want to. 

It’s a short connector between the backs of the hotels, but connects to the long elevated walk to the monorail station. 

I think it's probably still there.  I say 'used to be' because I haven't been to the location in a few years.  cheers!

I think you could park in the MGM parking garage as far away from the casino as possible, take only the stairwells/escalators, and walk the entire length of the casino plus the walk through the shops and stop at the exit to the pool area and get in a pretty decent walk while remaining under a covering. Granted the garage is open and not air conditioned, but your head could still be covered by the last garage floor above you.

Wasn't the old Miracle Mile shopping area fairly long?

Filming new Liam Neeson Vegas action flick "Caught Short"   In film he plays a man of his actual age leaving a seafood restaurant in a Vegas casino hotel and trying to get to a restroom=suspense, agony, true life
