Golfing in Vegas

Feeding the gaming machines and placing your bets around the roulette wheel amid the bright lights of the casinos might be what first comes to mind when you think of Las Vegas or maybe Elvis, or is it quickie drive-thru-style weddings?

But away from the neon lights, the world-famous American city boasts more than 50 picture-postcard golf courses designed by some of the biggest names in golf.

Nicklaus, Palmer, Dye and Fazio are just a few of the sportsmen who have turned Las Vegas desert soil into magnificent golf courses so stunning that in some photographs, the greens and their settings look almost surreal.

For the golfing tourist, serious or casual, most courses offer affordable package rates in tandem with local hotels.
