I recently was on a business trip in las Vegas and made my way to the summerlin studio. Making it out here is a trek if you are staying on the strip, but if one has a car and gps, it's a fifteen minute drive without traffic.
I had the good fortune of taking Kirk both days I practiced. He is awesome, and I wish I could import him to my regular studio Bikram yoga NYC. I attended a super early class at 545 am and was amazed by a good group of devotees, which gave the studio a great vibe and energy at the crack of dawn. He even took the time to give me corrections despite my being a new face in the class.
So why the three stars???? The facilities look ok. (I didn't shower). Quite frankly it was the SMELL in the studio. It has been a while since I encountered it, and I think it's because all the studios I attend are aggressive clean freaks and / or have moved to more Bikram friendly floor surfaces. For example in my tour of Bikram this year - my home studio bikram yoga nyc and Bethesda, md have anti-microbial carpeting. Likewise, salt lake city had a wooden floor and Oslo has linoleum flooring. Maybe the latter two are no nos but as much as I love Bikram, if I lived in las Vegas I'd have a difficult time practicing as Bikram yoga summerlin for the locker room-like smell in the studio.
