Just promise me I won't get mugged, step on feces/urine or get kidnapped to have my liver taken out and sold on the black market!

Is this a joke, or are you serious? If you just want to keep in shape, hill running or mountain trails will do the same. Even more at our altitudes. Or join 24 Hour Fitness and do the stair machines. If you can only accomplish what you need by running up a stadium, you're out of luck here.

You're from Boston for Pete's sake. You might find that back east, but it's much safer here. You didn't move down a step when you came here, you've moved up in the world. It will take you a little time to get used to being in a western city where people are friendly and everything is spread out instead of all jammed together in a highly congested small area.

Try to lose all the preconceived notions easterners have about us. Keep in mind that Hollywood's version of Las Vegas isn't real.

Hi Buzz,

The American Ninja Warrior has tryouts in Vegas.

I admit I don't know much about Western city culture and got a lot to sniff out.

The reason for a stadium is because I can do 100 yard sprints after the stairs.

I was just joking on the feces/mugging/kidnapping!

I made the mistake one year of getting the el-cheapo seats @ the bottom, right on the track @ LVMS. After a few beers, everytime I had to use the head or get something from the concessions, it felt like I was climbing Mt. Everest & I should have a Sherpa guiding me up the stairs.

If the LVMS general admission seating bleachers/stairs/mountain dont get the OP excited, then not much in this town would.
