Golf

In addition to the listings below, there are dozens of local courses, including some very challenging ones that have hosted PGA tournaments. Note: Greens fees vary radically depending on time of day and year. Also, call for opening and closing times, because these change frequently. Because of the heat, you will want to take advantage of the cart that in most cases is included in the greens fee.

Note also that the Rio All-Suite Hotel has an affiliated golf course. Also, Wynn Las Vegas has a state-of-the-art course, but we aren't including it for two reasons; at this writing, it is for guests only -- and they mean it. If anyone in your party is not also staying at the hotel, they can't play. And the greens fees? A mere $500 a person. Call when you get to town to see whether they've come to their senses.
