The key in sticking with anything is motivation and what's better motivation than a workout buddy? Grab your travel companion or maybe a local colleague and get to it. Schedule a morning run, to start your day off in the right way. Not only will it wake you up better than a large cup of coffee but it will get your heart pumping and blood flowing!

Dance the night away! Our Saturday night concert series, M Pool Live is the perfect spot to get your groove on. Dancing burns more calories that you think and the best part is, it's fun. You don't even notice that you're working out! Our wine bar, Hostile Grape has a DJ on Saturday and Sunday night so get up on your feet and work off that last glass of wine you had…hopefully it was red which is better for your heart.

Dive in! Most hotels you'll stay at have pools ready for their guests' use. We have a 100,000 square foot pool deck (not to brag or anything) ready for you to get your swim on. Aside from staying active, your best bet in keeping healthy when traveling is portion control. Sure we have a buffet with over 200 items to choose from so take samples of everything instead of platefuls.

The Main Lobby stairs are just waiting for you to climb.

So you indulged at our buffet and maybe had a cupcake (or two) from our bakery and washed it all down with one of our 96 beers on tap. There's nothing wrong with this (we're all about indulging), but even during your getaway in Vegas you'll want to stay in shape with places like DayDream Pool Club to hang out at. We know it's hard to make it to the gym, especially when you're traveling, so we're here to offer you a few travel-friendly fitness tips that you can practice here at M or wherever you might be traveling.

Take the stairs. We know elevators are much more convenient, but think of the burn you'll feel after walking from our casino level to our pool and spa level, or even all the way down to our wine cellar, Hostile Grape. Your lungs will thank you and you’ll thank yourself when you look at your killer legs.

Bring your running shoes. Why not add a little motion in your day? Lace up your sneakers and take a tour inside and outside our resort. We’re situated on more than 90 acres and with an expansive 100,000 square foot pool deck, you’ll have lots of time to get your fresh air fix, plus we have lots of great art to gaze at while walking around indoors.

Stay hydrated. It's a desert out there (no really, it is). Be sure to drink lots of water, it will help keep your body going and increase your metabolism so you burn more calories than normal, and it also helps maintain your muscle tone.

Bring your yoga mat. Starting or ending your day with yoga does the body good. And, rolling up your yoga mat and packing it for your trip takes a minimal amount of time and space. You can even practice your yoga moves in the privacy of your own hotel room.

If you’re more of a gym person, we also have a world-class fitness center available for your use; did we mention it has a pool view?
