| - I've been here a handful of times now and I love the experience!
There are four levels with multiple bars (and different themes; my favorite is the Riv Bar), two pools, games, TVs, and of course, golfing bays. It is a very fun environment and I encourage a tour of the facility before you indulge. There's a lot to take in!
I have been in bays on the second and third floors, always toward the center. The outdoor furniture, sectional and coffee table, is relatively comfortable. It's a little difficult to eat and there's not much room for a group to dine, but it's manageable. Clubs for men and women are provided with details for novices. If you're left-handed, they'll provide appropriate clubs upon request and place a tee on the other side of the green. Each bay is equipped with three screens, two for your game to keep track of everyone's plays and one with television. You also have a dedicated server for food and drink orders.
The bays have heating lamps for the colder months and they're very warm. As for the hotter times, I've seen comments stating that bays are air-conditioned, but I was there twice this summer and I don't think it exists (I guess it's probably there, but it's terrible). Also, we couldn't locate the temperature controls (nor were we told about them) and the misters do NOT help when it's in the triple digits. One particularly miserable visit was when it was over 100F and uncharacteristically humid at 11PM. We thought going in the evening would be easier, but it was almost unbearable. Pro tip: The bathrooms are heavily air-conditioned and the perfect place to cool off. Oh yeah, the pool closes at 9PM. Boo!
Prices vary a lot depending on floor, day, and time. Floors 1 & 2 is $30-75/hour and Floor 3 is $45-90/hour. Nevada locals receive 20% off bay rentals, so it's $24-60/hour and $36-75/hour. There's also a 10% discount for military, police, fire, and EMS personnel. The best time (based on price) to visit is Mon-Thurs, 9AM to 12PM. Note: It's six people per bay.
They offer valet (complimentary when I was there in July) and there is on-site parking, however, it's frequently unavailable due to events and conferences (you'll notice the large tent overwhelming the parking lot). Another option is parking at MGM Grand and catching the complimentary shuttle that runs every 15 minutes or walking over (approximately 5-7 minutes).
Food: The menu is constantly changing, paying particular attention to seasonal ingredients, so it's always exciting. However, I've had to say good-bye to some favorite eats (though there's a possibility of dishes returning with their respective seasons). My all-time favorite dish is the Burrata because it had the most delicious grilled bread and tomato jam (I'm hoping it'll make a comeback!!). I also like the 7-Layer Dip, Deviled Egg Sampler (the steak one is the best!), and Chicken Boursin Bacon Flatbread. The Heritage Turkey Meatballs on the Summer menu is fantastic as well. My family and I ordered the Texas-Style BBQ Platter ($110) and it was great. It had SO much food; I especially liked the hot links, brisket, and variety of pickles.
Cocktails: Their Frozen Mule and Summer Frosé are really fun drinks and perfect for the heat. I liked the Pineapple Punch (Captain Morgan, Malibu, pineapple juice, and Monin Ginger), too. The latter is available in their souvenir golf bag mugs with club straws (super cute), 30 or 60 ounces ($20/$35).
