Las Vegas golf courses offer challenge, flash

Las Vegas is a golf vacation destination best enjoyed by those who relish the finer things in life. It's about no limits, the best of the best, the nights and days you never forget.

Naturally, there are countless quality golf courses in Las Vegas. Whether you're staring down - and down - from one of the sky high tees at The Falls Golf Club or kicking back in a room at the Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas with water views so nice you think you must be on your own private lake, it's all about the wows. Pete Dye, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Weiskopf, Tom Fazio and Johnny Miller have each designed prominent Sin City golf courses. The resorts take you everywhere from the storied Ritz Carlton luxury on Lake Las Vegas to the heart of The Strip and Steve Wynn's first real trendsetter, The Mirage.

It's your Vegas golfing trip, sculpted the way you want it. Maybe that means playing along the shores of the lake - getting a glimpse at Celine Dion's mansion - as you tackle Nicklaus' well-protected showcase greens at the Reflection Bay golf course. Maybe that means facing off with Dye at his toughest, and fighting the Vegas winds, at Paiute Wolf. If you're a golfer, it probably means both. And much more.

The off course options match the on-course delights. When you're not gunning for the greens on some of the highest elevation points in the Vegas valley at Revere at Anthem's Concord course, you can be getting a massage at the Hyatt Regency's state-of-the-art spa. The possibilities are endless.

Just don't ever expect your swing thoughts to be mundane. Not here.
