and i didnt really want to go far. so i looked into the wynn golf course, which is conveniently on the vegas strip... and its $500 for 18 holes.. WTF mate.

to compare, raleigh courses are like $25-50 (cheaper with student discount)... i'll just stay in and bet on 00

So find some half-abandoned golf course community to play at. Its Vegas, should be plenty.

pretty sweet from what i hear....

and did you notice that there's a Ferrari dealership in the lobby? it's a bit of a pricey establishment

6/10/2008 11:11:21 PM

I want to play some golf, but that shit is just too expensive no matter where you go

not worth it

6/10/2008 11:11:22 PM

if i played slots and was up 500 i'd hit it up

there are other courses, but couple miles away. im not sure how much time i'll have on thursday. i get out of this conference at like 5pm. i figured i could squeeze a round (9holes) in. heck, they play in raleigh until it gets dark.

you have to stay at the hotel to play that course anyway

did it last August...shot an 86

How much were you expecting a course on the vegas strip to cost?

6/10/2008 11:25:50 PM

Depending on the type of room you get, how much you spend, or how well you play your cards, you might can get them to give you a deal on playing a round.

the $500 probably isn't firm if you know what you're doing.

i've been on the construction site of the new tower they're building at the wynn geeky perk of the job. gorgeous hotel though.

6/10/2008 11:29:52 PM

i haven't been to vegas in over a year, and we usually stay at the bellagio, but i'd like to stay at the wynn the next trip out.

6/10/2008 11:31:18 PM

I'll tell ya something...I was not impressed with the Bellagio...I think my fave place to stay is Mandalay, and the Hotel...though when I'm in Vegas I kind of expect some cheeseyness in hotel rooms and the Hotel is very uncheesey

wynn FTW

and MGM for the take over.

they're building some nice buildings

6/11/2008 5:24:17 PM

Depending on how much you plan to gamble, you might be able to get it comped. My boss was down there a few weeks ago for a bachelor party and got a round of golf comped, not sure which resort or casino though.

we were at treasure island, coming back tomorrow morning.

wynn is expensive no matter what you're doing.

maybe if i decide to cough up the dough to stay there, then ill cough up enough to play on the players club card enough times to get something comped
