| - This place just opened up in town. As a lover of both KISS music and miniature golf, you better believe I didn't waste any time checking it out.
The first thing you will notice when you walk in this place is the environment and KISS decor that is everywhere. They have a gift shop, arcade games, cafe, and tons of props and memorabilia on the walls. It is blacklit, and they really went the extra mile to make it a tribute to our favorite 70s shock rockers. KISS music is, naturally, blaring out the speakers non-stop, and it was a welcome relief to hear some great tunes you don't hear too often.
I didn't deal with many employees during my actual visit, however the few that I did deal with were very friendly, and you can tell everyone here shares a love of KISS. It's a nice, laid-back environment. Adults will love the place because of the painstaking details this place has done to pay tribute to one of the hottest bands in the band. Kids will love it for the wild decor and crazy characters on the course. It's also great to have an attraction like this in Vegas that doesn't exclusively cater to the 21+ crowd. Kids need something to do in this town, too, and it is great that a place like this exists for that purpose!
As for the course itself, apart from the KISS props, it is a fairly basic miniature golf course. If you're a mini golf fan, you'll have fun playing, though there aren't real "curve balls" or surprises thrown your way. But it's still a ton of fun! I only have a few minor complaints about the place:
1) There is ONLY ONE COURSE. Many of the mini golf places I have been to have two courses, which helps to mix things up and keep it fresh, which often adds to the replay/revisit value. The one course they have, however, is top-notch, it just would have been nice to have multiples. Of course, given the size of the suite that hosts the business, I don't really suppose there is any way they could have fit another one.
2) Bad location. It's clear this location was chosen due to its proximity from the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, which is right across the street. This is not a "nice" end of town, and it is extremely difficult to get to the center that hosts the business due to packed-tight traffic lanes and one-way streets. I loathe this area with a passion, and I wish they had chosen a better location. Still, I'm glad it's here and not on the actual Las Vegas Strip, which is far more congested and painful to navigate.
3) Too warm inside! Granted, they may have had some sort of air conditioning failure/problems going on, so I can't really elaborate on this. In this town, though, particularly in the summer time, you NEED to have air conditioning. Vegas summers are killer. UPDATE - a manager from the facility messaged me and told me they have installed an additional AC unit, so that's a plus right there.
My complaints, though, are minimal, and should not stop you from checking the place out.
