Heading to Vegas - Travel Workouts and Planning for it

This time comes around every year to go out and support the husband and family in there annual Japanese basketball tournment.  The time is upon us!  Heading to Vegas this weekend.   The biggest challenge I always have in going to these family events is the area they like to stay.  Normally, you are able to modify your food or pay the extra fee to go to the normally very expensive "spa" to be able to get your workouts in.    However, in this league they require a certain amount of people from the team to stay in Downtown... 

If you have ever stayed in Downtown LV, you will understand.  The hotels there are not catered to the CA traveler that values fitness and "healthy" options.  Actually it's the contrary at the "California Hotel" where we will be staying - they value creating an authentic Hawaiian atomosphere.  It's all about Spam Musubi, Hawaiian/Japanese fusion foods and buffets.  There are no gyms because who would go, there are no options because spam and eggs or portugese sausage and rice ARE your options.

So how do we get do we get buy in situations like this?   We do something about it!!
