Golf

Vegas has some great courses but access is often reserved for high-rollers and VIPs. If you’re interested in playing a particular one, it may be wise to book a room at its affiliated resort since guests may have preferred tee times.

If Cascata is on your wish list, for instance, it helps to be at a Harrah’s property such as Caesars Palace. For Shadow Creek, which many pros and avid golfers consider one of the greatest courses in the country, you should consider staying at one of the MGM Grand properties, such as the Bellagio or THEHotel at Mandalay Bay. The Wynn Las Vegas is the only resort on the Strip with its own golf course on the property. In fact, the best suites are the Fairway Villas. Top guests at the MGM Grand can usually secure tee times at Primm Valley golf course.
