For a Las Vegas experience that blends luxury and golf, stay at your favorite MGM Rewards destination. Guests of resorts like Bellagio and Aria can enjoy exclusive access to the renowned Shadow Creek golf course.
The Tom Fazio masterpiece opened in 1990 at a reported cost of $47 million—a price that the designer once attributed to “total site manipulation.” In other words, all of the rolling hills, the contours, and the mounding that you’ll see is man-made. “The course is unbelievable—it’s an amazing facility and in great shape,” says PGA Tour pro Ryan Moore, who lives in Las Vegas. “If you get the chance to play Shadow Creek, you have to go. It will be one of the best golfing experiences you’ll ever have.”
Shadow Creek access may be one of the many perks available to Bellagio guests, but staying in the resort’s Spa Tower rooms and suites, which recently benefited from a $110 million renovation, is a perk in its own right. Outfitted with custom furnishings, adorned with bespoke artwork, and designed to reflect sophisticated tastes, the revamped accommodations make returning to your room just as enticing as the allures that are certain to draw you away from it.
Now that you know where to stay during your forthcoming visit to Las Vegas, here’s how you can fill out those action-packed days. (Just try to get a little sleep, if you can.)
“The Crazy Golf Club” at Mandalay Bay, Swingers is a lounge-like space that combines three of our favorite things: golf, street food, and delectable cocktails. In other words, if you want full swings and 7,000 yards of splendor, head to Shadow Creek. If you want quirky miniature golf paired with boozy libations, come to Swingers.
At any time of the year, there will be a compelling sports league, match, or event being contested somewhere in the world. And if you’re the type who wants to have some money riding on the outcome, you’ll want to place your bets at BetMGM Sportsbook. Better yet, you’ll want to grab a seat and take in all of the action on the 60 high-definition screens.
Dedicated to cash games—including two high-limit areas, one of which (the Legends Room) is perhaps the most iconic venue in which to play Texas Hold ’Em in the city—Bellagio’s 7,000-square-foot poker space is not only rooted in poker’s history in Vegas but also offers cash games with the highest stakes on the Strip.
Much like the city’s lineup of casinos, there’s no shortage of great places to grab a meal in Vegas. But when it comes to steakhouses, the Strip’s establishments are not all created equal. That’s why the most discerning diners head to PRIME, where chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten treats bone-in rib eyes and A5 Wagyu beef with the utmost care.
If you’re craving indulgent comfort food, book a reservation at Scarpetta and order any one of the nine pasta dishes. From duck and foie gras ravioli to gnocchi made with porcini mushrooms, preserved black truffles, herb butter, and parmigiano, you can’t go wrong no matter what you order. Even better: order two.
Some cocktail bars shine for their pours. Others are can’t-miss for their ambience. At this panoramic bar and lounge on the 64th floor of the boutique W Las Vegas hotel, patrons get the best of both worlds. A slew of seasonal cocktails and some exceptional bourbons and rye whiskies are certain to get your attention, but once you put that menu down, a stunning view of the Las Vegas Strip awaits.
