I will be in Vegas for work next week for a few days, anyone know of health clubs with pools to swim laps? I am staying at the Mandalay Bay Hotel.
Check out the hotel pool. I just stayed at The Wynn a week ago and did a swim workout in the pool at the hotel. They had a 30 meter for adults only (that’s where I did my workout) as well as 2 other pools for everyone that was connected by a long channel that was over 100 meters long. I could have done laps in the 100 meter section, but there were too many people wading around by the time I got my butt out of bed!! 
I know the Venetian has a good pool for laps too, so there’s a good chance that Mandalay Bay does too. Just get to it early before it gets busy.
If I recall correctly, the Mandalay Bay Resort has a big ‘water park’ type of theme and assuming it is open to guests early in the morning, as with most places in Vegas, if you are in the water before 7:30 in the morning, the crowds are very small. If you don’t mind driving, there is are 2 24-Hour Fitness locations within 10-minutes of the strip and I think there is a nice pool out near Green Valley Ranch that has lap swimming in the morning.
give me a call when you get into town. I’ll PM you my number

I went to the 24-Hour Fitness on Tropicana a few years ago. The pool is ok but the shallow end is very shallow so that you’re touching the bottom during your stroke. Also, you’ll want a rental car to get there from Mandalay Bay. It’s past the Orleans.
It’s not a “lap pool” but you can swim in that big lagoon they have. It’s just an oversized pool with fake waves. It’s almost like swimming in open water. Other than that try swimming AGAINST the current at the lazy river also at Mandalay Bay.
Are you going to AWFS?
