The subject of this tip was more about approximating the experience of "The Big Three" than on Las Vegas deals in general, but yes, we are aware of the specials you mentioned and have already passed the info on to a few readers -- who wrote back saying they booked them and saved money! Cheers to OB Sports! Thanks for your comment Kris, and thanks for disclosing your relationship with the courses you mentioned (others have been booted out of here for posting comment spam).

VEGAS IS NOW A VALUE...AGAIN. While your article touched on three fine examples of the values that are out there (at three very nice facilities I might add), it is also worth noting that three courses my company operates in Vegas (Aliante, Legacy and Angel Park) offer a nice Double and Triple Play package that brings weekday golf rates to $95 and $90 respectively, when regular rates are $120-$135. Plus, now through 5/3 they are doing 1/2 of rentals with a double play and free rentals with a triple play. Combine that with lower room costs (we are seeing very nice properties lead with $59 room rates. Check out the new Aliante Station which has room prices starting at $59 and off strip alternatives like Suncoast), more dining offers, show deals etc and Vegas is back to being a great value for the golf traveler again. Ohh and we are getting to the best vegas weather months...March, April, etc. Not to mention, I can't can't think of a place more fun then Vegas to catch March Maddness B-Ball action!

I want to thank you for the tip in your Dec. article on getting a N. Calif. Golf Associate membership. That $25.00 saved me several hundred dollars on play at Poppy Hills, in the pro shop and at other courses in Monterey. I find Golf Insider travel tips very informative & helpful.
