Las Vegas has over the past 50 years or better become one of the foremost entertainment meccas not only in the United States, but the entire world , too. It was nothing but a small town in the desert until gaming became legal in Nevada, and with that the whole amusement package grew. Over time there became additional amusing things to do in and around Las Vegas, and golf courses started to get constructed. One can find at this time 128 golf courses within the region, and many of them are really first-rate.
Similar to nearly all things in this entertainment capital, those who construct things do not generally scrimp when they construct anything. Plus should you be all right regarding the heat during the summer season, there isn't a day you cannot play. The heat starts to really build up in June, with average highs in that month at 100 degrees F. They're going to rise to about 106 degrees in July and August before going downward in September to the mid-nineties. Steer clear of some of this heat by playing early or late. The good news is that's when you are going to get your best rates, both on hotels and at the courses.
Some ideas to identify the top time to visit Las Vegas:
1. Las Vegas is really a convention city, with an average week attracting 85000 conventioneers. That is a large amount of folks, but the city has plenty of accommodations. Point being, the more individuals, the more you will pay. Check with the Las Vegas visitors' bureau's site (vegasmeansbusiness.com) to find a weekly update to find when the traffic will be the lowest.
2. Room rates are often two times as much on the weekend as during midweek. You will not save as dramatically with the courses, but you can pay less should you play Monday through Thursday.
3. Check with the golf course you would like to play as to at what time they over-seed the fairways. This is usually done in late August to mid-September.
I had the good fortune to play Dragon Ridge Country Club in Henderson, and although it is private you might be able to get on this impressive golf course. Attempt to book through your hotel or with various of the golf packages you can locate on the internet. It is actually a good test of golf, however the driving areas are quite fair. Since it is a bit away from Las Vegas, it will be within the neighboring foothills near Henderson, and the elevations make for a number of great golf holes. From this juncture it is possible to see the Las Vegas skyline very well.
But there happens to be numerous warnings not to search for stray golf balls in the extreme rough areas. The signs say "Watch out for Rattlesnakes", and I believe them.
