Topgolf is struggling<\/a>.<\/p>\nWe were going to predict tough times for Swingers, given the over-abundance of “interactive, immersive, competitive socializing” offerings in Las Vegas at the moment, but our crystal ball has been off ever since Play Playground opened at Luxor and made us look like a clueless idiot. The place is printing money.<\/p>\n
Companies with deep pockets continue to take big swings with venues like Atomic Golf. That complex at Strat cost $75 million to build.<\/p>\n
These venues aren’t really about sports. They’re lounges and restaurants with sports activities to give people something to do and talk about.<\/p>\n
You can throw darts at Flight Club at Venetian or throw axes at places like Axehole at Neonopolis and Dueling Axes at Area 15.<\/p>\n
That was a shorter list than we thought it would be, but we’re exhausted from padding this story and don’t have the time or energy to Google anything. You get the idea.<\/p>\n
Longtime Vegas obsessives will recall there was a short-lived (it survived about a year) Swingers Club minigolf bar at Plaza back in 2011. That was the brainchild of Anthony Cools, a comedy-hypnotist who now seems to be enjoying retirement. Swingers Club became the similarly short-lived The Drink. Plaza’s Sand Dollar has fared much better without golf, but it does have pool tables.<\/p>\nOne of Swingers’ watering (wait for it) holes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMinigolf is a tried-and-true way to spend an evening without breaking the bank, along with not having to be interesting or a good conversationalist.<\/p>\n
It’s fascinating such venues are opening in and near casinos, as back in the day, casinos did everything they could to avoid customers doing anything but gamble. That’s why Las Vegas shows are shorter than other places. Shows can actually be penalized for running long, as it keeps gamblers away from the tables and machines.<\/p>\n
Today, casinos are very interested in margins and monetizing idle spaces, and rent for a venue like Swingers is substantial. Attractions can draw bodies to a resort, some of whom might not have visited otherwise. Such attractions also appeal to a younger customer demographic, something casinos are very interested in given their core customer base is aging and dying off. Sorry, maturing and dwindling in size. It’s the circle of life!<\/p>\n
We are not really a golf (or socializing) person, but we love TopGolf and Atomic Golf, so we’ll definitely give Swingers a go. There’s something for everyone in Las Vegas, and if you can’t beat ’em, you may as well join the club.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
