The Refuge is a great bouldering gym. They do a really nice job setting problems and they are changed regularly.

What I find weird about our gyms is that none of them seem to have cracks to practice on....unless you go to lifetime fitness :O
Btw has anyone on here climbed those?!?

Red Rock Climbing center - West side of town closest to Red Rock has with top ropes, leading, 5 auto-belays and bouldering. Old school gym but intense route density (you can climb 10 routes 5.9-511 on one autobelay) Great route setting.

East Side - Henderson - Origin - the newest gym in town with upward of 500 bouldering routes, 6 autobelays, top ropes and leading. Great route setting.

The Refuge - bouldering only. I'm too old and injured for bouldering but it has great reviews for setting if you just want bouldering.

Nevada Climbing Center - East side - only been there a few times years ago so will withhold opinions on route setting. Top roping, some leading and some bouldering.

If you're looking for a crack workout in Vegas, you're doing it wrong. Plenty of "good enough" cracks to go jam around in near town and learn what you gotta learn.

RE: The OP's question concerning gyms...Refuge is the best IMO. Outstanding setting, highly varied terrain, and friendly vibe.

Two weeks after the OP went to Vegas and people are still providing him suggestions. What a helpful bunch!

you DO realize that this is a commonly asked question about Vegas, right?

I'd be curious if the original poster actually chose a gym to try out and what they thought about it??
