CLIMB!
Rockclimb – Canyon
Ranch SpaClub located
in The Venetian
After passing the tranquil
gondolas out front, we do
a marathon-walk through this
mammoth casino to find the
12m-high climbing wall. We
strap on our shoes and scale
it, albeit slowly, before lunch
at the Canyon Ranch Grill
(green juice shots included)
and a much needed jacuzzi.

POSE!
Yoga on the High Roller


  • the LINQ Hotel & Casino
    You can get high in Vegas, legally!
    This is hands-down the most
    exhilarating place I’ve ever rocked
    a pose. Bigger than the London
    Eye, the High Roller reaches 168m
    high and takes half an hour for one
    full revolution. In our glass-encased
    cabin, our instructor Mickie takes
    us through a one-hour class as
    we stretch out and soak up the
    view of The Strip and Nevada
    desert. Spiritual high guaranteed.
    The Linq is also the perfect place to
    stay – ask for the in-room fitness
    cart stocked with gym equipment.


SEE!
The Neon
Museum
This is where
ubiquitous Vegas
signs go to die.
Otherwise
known as Neon
Boneyard, this
200-strong
outdoor collection
of old rusty,
broken and
decaying signs
is fabulous.
Perfect for a slow
recovery walk.

SEE!
Real Bodies – Bally’s
Real human bodies in the flesh and
without the flesh! This confronting
yet fascinating exhibition uses real
human specimens to teach you about
anatomy and the complex workings
of our bodies. It makes me think about
every single thing I put in my mouth
for the rest of my time in Vegas.

SEE!
The Beatles
LOVE show


  • the Mirage
    You’ve got to see
    a show in Vegas and
    this Cirque Du Soleil
    one is impressively
    different. Performed
    to a Beatles
    soundtrack and
    described as a
    “psychedelic journey
    through the trends
    and politics of the
    ’60s”, the athleticism
    and physics of the
    performers is
    jaw-dropping. This
    dizzy circus show will
    inspire a fitter you.


SLEEP!
Stay Well Room – MGM Grand
Air purification system, vitamin C shower
infuser, dawn simulator alarm clock – the
list of room amenities goes on, all which
mindful man himself, Dr Deepak Chopra,
approves of, might I add. The MGM room
is designed with the WH reader in mind.
I had THE BEST sleep ever here. See,
you can rejuvenate in Sin City! WH

EAT!
HARVEST BY ROY
ELLAMAR


  • BELLAGIO
    One of the best places I’ve
    eaten. Paddock-to-plate
    food with the health
    conscious in mind.


EAT!

SUGARCANE
RAW BAR GRILL


  • THE VENETIAN
    Stylish digs, mouth-
    watering food and delish
    cocktails in this newly
    opened restaurant
    at the Venetian.


EAT!

SQUEEZE – THE
LINQ HOTEL & CASINO
Best place for cocktails
as they’re mixed with
the freshest of fresh
juices – perfect for
juice snobs
like me.
