| - Honestly, mini-golf wasn't something I expected out of a joint bachelor/bachelorette party, let alone one taking place in Vegas. But I guess it just goes to show that (A) even the mildly unexpected can happen in Vegas, and (B) who you're with matters more than what you're doing. Of course, $2 beers certainly don't hurt either!
Located across the street from the Hard Rock hotel, it's a bit of a walk to get here from The Strip, so taking a cab might be the way to go. Inside, KISS is literally everywhere -in the form of memorabilia on the walls, props along the course, and the music playing overhead. And, of course, the giant Gene Simmons head (and tongue) making up the 18th hole. None of it all did much for me, but still pretty cool and something KISS fans would probably get a kick out of.
If you're looking for some legit mini-golf though, this might not be the place for you. It's not too pricey at $12 a round, but it's simple, and repetitive. Plus, the course is cramped; where one hole ends, the next begins. However, it's still fun, given who you might be with, the black lights, and the fact you can drink while you play.
For out-of-towners, I doubt this place will make many "must see" lists, especially amongst the college crowds in town just for the clubs, DJs, and pool parties. But for KISS fans, local families, or people just looking for something a little different to do, KISS Mini Golf is worth a look. Even though I may not be back, it certainly wasn't for a lack of fun with friends.
THREE AND A HALF rounded up.
