DayShadow Creek
Shadow Creek is the centrepiece of this itinerary and requires specific logistics. The course is accessible only to guests of MGM Resorts properties, with tee times available Monday through Thursday.
3
DayCascata and Bellagio
Check out of Wynn Las Vegas and into the Bellagio, your base for the final two nights. Drive 30 minutes southeast to Boulder City for the morning round at Cascata Golf Club.
4
DaySerket (formerly Rio Secco)
Drive 20 minutes southeast to Henderson for the final round at Serket Golf Club, the former Rio Secco. The Rees Jones desert-canyon layout plays through arroyos and dramatic elevation at 7,332 yards from the tips.
5
DayDeparture
Check out of the Bellagio and return to Harry Reid International, a 10 to 15 minute drive. The airport's proximity to the Strip means morning flights are feasible even after a late final evening.
Trip Logistics
Plan the Practicalities
Logistics
The two-hotel approach splits the trip between Wynn Las Vegas for the first two nights, which provides on-property access to Wynn Golf Club and proximity to the Shadow Creek limousine pickup, and the Bellagio for the final two nights, which positions the Cascata and Serket drives from the southern Strip. A rental car is necessary for the Cascata and Serket days but not for the first two. Shadow Creek requires an MGM Resorts hotel stay for booking eligibility; the Bellagio qualifies, so booking the Shadow Creek tee time through the Bellagio concierge after the hotel transfer on Day 3 is also an option if playing Shadow Creek on Day 2 from the Wynn presents a booking complication. Peak season for Las Vegas golf is March through April and October, when temperatures sit in the 70s and 80s and course conditions are at their best.
