Las Vegas Golf Courses
April 18, 2009, 11:19 amIf you are looking forward to a golf vacation, the golf courses in Las Vegas could be the answer. In fact, there are not many places in the world where one could play golf after the sundown. But here in Las Vegas, night golf is gaining popularity. More and more golf courses are making arrangements for night games, to allow players a chance to escape the brutal heat of a Las Vegas day.
Sprawling over vast acres of green in and around Las Vegas, more than 50 golf courses are visible. A few resorts have even more than one golf course as an “added” attraction for their customers, so that they don’t have to wait for too long. Most of the golf courses in and around Las Vegas also provide the facility of online advance booking. The charges range from twenty dollars to a few hundred. But most of them do not charge less than a hundred US dollars for one booking.
A number of Las Vegas golf courses are highly regarded for their beauty and playability. Golf Digest has even nationally ranked some of them. These particular golf courses are well known for their clubhouses and superb amenities. There are golf courses in Las Vegas that have an elevation of almost 3,000 feet. A few of these golf courses also provide spectacular views of Red Rock Canyon and the Las Vegas Valley.
In fact, Las Vegas is home to some of the most expensive golf courses of the world. The world’s best-known golf course designers have designed these courses. The best thing is that Las Vegas has several such golf courses where you can spend a couple of hours on the greens and get back to the other things that demand your attention, if you are really short on time.
Las Vegas Golf provides detailed information on Las Vegas Golf, Las Vegas Golf Courses, Las Vegas Golf Packages, Las Vegas Golf Resorts and more. Las Vegas Golf is affiliated with Best Shows in Las Vegas.

Tips for Saving Money on Food At Walt Disney World-Orlando
April 18, 2009, 8:10 amFood at Walt Disney World can be outrageously expensive and, in some cases, of poor quality. It can make a very large dent in your vacation budget if you don’t plan ahead.
Picnics are not really the solution. You are not allowed to bring your own food into the theme parks.(the exception being the two water parks where you can and should take a picnic with you) People do seem take food into the parks, and I have never seen anyone challenged. I guess the watchword here is “be discrete”If you arrive at the gates with a large cooler and
picnic hamper you are inviting the Disney people to take action.
1. Get a good breakfast “Off -World”
Fantastic breakfast deals abound on Hwy 192. Deny’s and International house of Pancakes have a number of locations serving really good breakfasts. Some smaller restaurants and big chains like Sizzlers serve a breakfast buffet where you can really stuff yourself for a few dollars. My personal favorite is Cracker Barrel who dish up traditional Southern cooking. A good breakfast will set you up for a hard day at the parks and prevent mid morning hunger pangs.
(However it might not be a good idea to ride “Tower of Terror” or “Mission Space” with a full stomach!)
2. Avoid Killer Snacks
Snacks at Disney World can make a big hole in your wallet. You could buy a full meal “off world” for the price of a Disney coffee and cake. Try to carry a drink. The parks sell a nifty shoulder strap to hold a small bottle. After your first expensive purchase you can replace the bottle with cheaper sodas from a supermarket.In really hot weather you will appreciate a drink at regular intervals. Water is probably best. Try to find some kind of waist strap to hold
a bottle which you can replenish at the water fountains as you come across them. (Totes do a good one)
3. Avoid fast food.
The best way to avoid expensive, inferior fast food is to arrange in advance where and when you will eat Trouble comes when you are too tired or thirsty to care, – the result will be a very inferior hot dog or slice of pizza at top dollar prices. A proper sit down restaurant, carefully chosen, will represent much better value for money and you will have a nice rest in the process.
4. Eat Your Main Meal at Lunchtime.
Many restaurants have similar dinner and lunch menus but the lunch time one will be quite a lot cheaper. My family enjoyed a new meal called Linner. As brunch is to breakfast and lunch, linner is to Lunch and Dinner. Basically we ate from the lunch menu as late as possible. We missed the lunch time crowds but ate before the more expensive dinner menu kicked in (usually around 3pm) If you have a really good breakfast it will be easy enough to hold out until 3.00pm We would often buy something to munch as we sat and waited for Parades, Fantasmic etc.
5. Use the Monorail
Use the monorail to go to a resort hotel at lunch or dinner time. They are often much less crowded and cheaper than the theme park restaurants. Get a hand stamp and you can return to the theme park later.
6. Treat Yourself to a full Service restaurants at EPCOT
Many people consider the restaurants in The World Showcase to be an important part of the EPCOT experience and you will definitely want to try one of them. The trick here is to choose carefully because they can be expensive, make sure it is the right choice for your family. (Not much point in shelling out for Japanese if junior will only ear burgers)
