Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas
or window shopping at Lake Las Vegas's Monte Lago
Village, you are never far from a golf course.

Jr. have put Vegas on the map for golf enthusiasts.
Each course offers challenging play, rolling greens,
beautiful desertscapes, flowing waterfalls and
mountain views.
