No thanks, I think I'll just jog in place

I'm staying at the Mandalay Bay hotel this week, where we're having a conference about online shopping. I had some time to kill today so I thought I would head to the fitness center. But of course, fitness centers in these massive resorts are coupled with the spa so they can charge you an arm and a leg for the whole package.

So I called just to make sure that the fee was not outrageous and they said that for a one-day pass to the spa, which includes the exercise room, it would be $27. Seriously? For an hour on the treadmill and maybe a few sit-ups? Their selling point was that, hey, they do provide free juice and a "spa-like atmosphere."

I took a nap instead.
