Going to Vegas for conference this weekend. Ez links has The bad lands, and the Lexington course on sale for $100. Any preference between those 2?
Or any other suggestions in the $100-150 range?
Thanks

Played Badlands years ago and was not impressed.

I'm generally a fan of Paiute Golf Resort. 3 terrific courses. Twilight rates are in your price range. Only drawback is it's about a 20-30 minute ride from the strip as I recall.

Enjoy your trip.

If you're staying at the south end of the strip try the Legacy golf club, it's about 15 minutes from New York, New York.

If you're closer to downtown, try Angel Park. It's about 20 minutes from The Stratosphere.

Both of those tracks are well within your price range, and IMO better than the Badlands. I have not played the Lexington.

Pauite is a beautiful facility. It's great for a golf specific trip when you have time to "get there". Sounds like your trying to sneak one in. Enjoy.

Legacy.

It's a 15 minute cab ride from the Monte Carlo which is on the southern end of the strip. Plus, I personally prefer it over Angel Park. If you do go there, let me know and I'll tell which house is Vanna Whites

I would suggest Paiute also. It does have 3 great courses! Drawback is the long drive. My favorite is Rio Secco. It can be a little pricey, but a great and well conditioned golf course.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.

      Day 565 - 2026-04-19 Wanted to get home to do some spring cleaning type stuff, so I practiced for about seven or eight minutes and got my butt home. Just backswing stuff, mostly, with freezers and a little downswing feel. Liking the new big mirror I have.
