The casinos might be fun for some, but others enjoy taking in a little outdoor scenery as well. When it comes to hitting the links, Vegas is the place to play in the desert. In addition to its multitude of gaming palaces, this big little city is renowned for its public and private golf courses. The choices for visitors are mind boggling and each course, it seems, has its own unique draws.
The Greater Las Vegas area is home to more than 60 golf courses. This includes private, semi-private and public courses. The courses range from championship quality links to more modest learner’s courses, making the area ideal for anyone to play golf. The additional perks are many, too, considering the resort-style air that permeates the city.
For those who enjoy the big name appeal, many of Las Vegas’ courses are world known. Some of the courses here have been developed by the golf world’s most well known celebrities, too. In fact, there are courses designed by the likes of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and even Billy Casper. Many famous golfers take time out to practice between big tournaments within the boundaries of Vegas, too. Those who make their way to the desert paradise for a few practice rounds include such notables as Tiger Woods. Other celebs can often be found on the courses, including sports greats, political dignitaries and more. It’s hard to say who a golfer might bump into on any given day.
So, why do golfers love Vegas? It’s simple: quality courses, challenging play and virtually year-round beautiful weather. The desert does have some advantages for sportsmen and weather is in the top 10. Of course, the other big draw (beyond the Strip) would be the fact so many of the Vegas course have been designed by top pros. Can you imaging playing on Arnold Palmer’s dream course?
Beginners, intermediate and even advanced players will find the courses in Vegas have a lot to offer. For those just starting out, the city is home to a number of professional golf schools for basic and even advanced instruction.
While the craps tables might get more attention, golf has not been overlooked here. The city, in fact, had more than 600,000 rounds of resort golf played in the year 2004 and that number seems to climb higher every year.
In addition to offering some great playing fields, Vegas is also ideal for spectators of the sport. This community often hosts major tournaments. It was, in fact, the location of Tiger Woods’ first PGA Tour win in 1996. The city has been home to such tournaments as those in the LPGA tour, the Seniors Tour, and even the NCAA Championships.
Las Vegas might be about the Strip for many, but when it comes to golf action, this city doesn’t forget its other players. With world class courses mixing with more beginner ideal places to play, Vegas visitors don’t have to spend all their time indoors. The tables might be fun at night, but for golf lovers, the greens are the only thing that will do during the day.

Do I condone what this man did? No! But do I understand his frustration with a system that negates his issues by dismissing his case without sincere understanding of the man’s dilemma? Yes! When people run into a wall regarding their legitimate concerns and no one takes the time to consider how devastating a disregard of their situation is, only God knows the outcome.
100 k a year Super??? Average? Not even with overtime. And not in this country or lifetime.
the list right now is 1 1/2 years long im afraid, my dads friend needs one to put games in his bar. hes been waiting for a year now, so unless you know somebody then itll be a while. but you have to appear in front of the nevada board of gaming and present them your business plan. they really accept anybody, but you just have to wait. if you go onto the clark county website you can get more info on the board of gaming. good luck
Rules rules? rules, please learn it today, more rules don´t help. CHANGE THE SYSTEM, because that is the root to all our problems.
Intelligent people don´t need rules for everything, they can use their brain. The system will not allow us to get kids with great morality and respect for everyone. You need to abolish the money system as we know it today.

North Las Vegas is good (not the old part of town near the city hall though).
Boulder City is good, my boyfriend lives there and it's a very cute town.
I would NEVER live downtown! never. The only people who live downtown are hobos
I'm not too familiar with Henderson, but from what I've seen it seems nice, though there are probably some bad parts, as with all cities.
Shooter johnny lee Wicks, a black man, had sued social security claiming his denial of money was because he was black. He also set fire to his building according to news sources.
it takes a while, ugotta become a police officer too and they would probably bump you up higher since ur a lready a marine and u have training form b4
I'm often flying out to Vegas with work. I've used a few different websites but I'd say Expedia offer the best deal, often in terms of price and service. As a business traveller I like to know everything is taken care of which is why I tend not to go for the cheapest option.
What do you know… another shooting in a gun free zone. We need to make more gun free zones to keep our kids safe! Right? That will fix this wont it? Telling the criminals that they are not allowed to do a certain something in a certain area, they will listen wont they?
The further from the strip the better. The Southwest is a newer area and still building up. A lot of younger families have purchases houses in that area. It is outside of the 215 from Jones and west from there. Still has desert area out that way but quiet and safer than most. Schools are newer since it is a new area. Problem is there is no bus service to that part of the valley.
Food is actually pretty reasonable here except for bread. There is no local big name bakery here so all bread is trucked in from California. Utilities are high. Look for electric bill to be between $200 and $400 per month during the summer depending on the size and age of your home. Look for car license to be around $1000 a year depending on value and age of your car. Auto insurance is very high here.
40 to 50 k a year. not including tips
Dude, I played craps w. Dennis Rodman in Vegas once, and it was…not so much an experience. Also, I have never heard of this place (and I go to Vegas about every other month, but I'm old, so whatever). If this is some cool happening place, I would suggest you get your bartending license and work at wherever you can, while pitching/schmoozing whoever hires bartenders at Scores. Eventually it will happen (although the place could easily become old news by then–the average lifespan of the "hot place' in Vegas is about 2 months).
