Last week I had the pleasure of staying at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas (one of my favorite hotels in the world) and as I was walking into the workout facility I noticed something a little different. Yes they had spinning bikes but they also had 20+ new treadmills. Ok I will admit it took me awhile to figure out how to use it and, like most guys, I wouldn’t ask anyone for help. Once I did figure it out, I was amazed at everything it had on there. Quickly I could go on YouTube, the web, and watch TV but it also had video on demand. I don’t recall ever seeing this feature anywhere else and I was able to watch movies and TV series at will.
During my two days of working out I enjoyed catching up on TV shows Survivor and Hawaii Five O. A big thank you to the Wynn for not only being a great hotel but also for always having the latest technology and incorporating that into your customer’s experience!
- Have you used these treadmills before?
- Have I been sleeping under a rock and didn’t realize every place has them?
- Would you work out a little longer and more often if your treadmill linked to all your favorite shows?
I look forward to reading your comments.
P.S. I did work out longer because of all the features on the treadmill!

I’ve seen some variations of this in the past, but never VOD. That’s awesome. I would also think the manufacturers would wise up and enable these screens for “AIRPLAY” from a phone or tablet to connect via Bluetooth or Wireless connection like a Smart TV or Apple TV, and do away with wires.
There is no doubt in my mind that every option imaginable is available on these things, but people don’t order them that way due to the cost factor and wanting to keep overhead low. Not surprising that you would find the Rolls Royce of treadmills at the Wynn, which I have found makes it a habit of sparing no expense.
Looking forward now more than ever to my next stay there!

Work out????
the Wynn is a favorite of mine too, actually staying there in June. However, I enjoy the larger rooms, the views, the pool, the shows, the casino….but the workout room, nah!
