But, unless you get up REALLY early, running along the strip is hard because of all the traffics and lights.

So we found a great starting location at Acaica Park which is a 20 minute drive outside of Vegas.

Surprisingly, not many runners here in Vegas.  Only a few bikers on the perfect wide trails.

Here is another running route I did in Las Vegas and here are many others around the world:
