A Las Vegas Tourist Guide
Las Vegas is known for its casinos, live entertainment and nightlife. The city in the desert is also a golf destination because of the numerous courses located in and around the area. Following is information on the best golf courses as well as resorts that provide accommodations and golf at one location.

Aliante Golf Club

Opened in 2003, this Las Vegas club is new to the city, but the 18-hole championship golf course has received multiple accolades in its short history. "Vegas Golfer Magazine" named the course the "Best New Course in Las Vegas." The golf course hosts tournaments, golf outings and visitors interested in a relaxing round of golf. PGA professionals on staff are available to customize an instruction program to address specific golfing needs, helping golfers improve their weaknesses and fine tune their strengths. The club has more than 40 practice range stations, short game practice areas and practice putting greens. The club provides complementary transportation for groups of 20 or more staying on the Vegas Strip or other area resorts. Children are welcome to enjoy a day on the links. The Mountain View Bar and Grille restaurant serves breakfast and lunch to golfers playing at this facility.
