The sights and sounds of the city combined with the luxuries of the resorts in and around the town give the non golfer something to occupy themselves with while the other members of their vacation hit the links for a round.

Spas and pools at Vegas resorts provide a great place to relax while meeting new people and otherwise taking a load off and enjoying what a vacation should be.
