Played a shit load of courses out here.
Buggs are all included clubs are extra, better to bring own unless only playing 1/2 rounds.
Going to have a car?

Massively depends on which day you play and which course, June is cheaper though but expect anything from 60-300

Chompy, the courses are all a decent cab ride away (unless you want to pay $$$) Buggies are included in green fees as standard. As you have only just started out in golf, it is quite possible you will struggle to get used to a rental club and rental isn't cheap either.
Put another way, the cost of 3 return cabs to an offstrip course in say Summerlin and 3 club rentals >> renting a car for the whole week and taking your own clubs.

http://www.golfnow.com/lasvegas will give you a list of courses, but check with your hotel and direct with the course as you might get cheaper. Earlier this year we played http://www.rhodesranchgolf.com - it's a good course for high handicappers. It cost $110 including club hire - clubs were $45 but they were top quality. The taxi was $40 including tip from the mgm. Don't ever play Bali Hai it's way overpriced and wasn't in good condition when we played it.

Considering that I found it too hot in '05 to even walk the 500 or so yards from The Rio to The Gold Coast after about 10am, I reckon they're all bonkers. |

Tee off at 6am, pootle/poodle round in a buggy while Celtic zigzags round using his patented left-hand-below-right grip. Plenty of water and it's fine. Apparently.

I rented brand new Callaways. Nothing wrong with the club. I just couldn't find the sweetspot with it. It seemed like I was hitting everything fat. So after several miserable holes, I deliberately tried to hit one off the toe and it came out the middle. Maybe the shaft flex was wrong, maybe I'm bad at golf. But once I worked that out, the rest of the round was fine.
Golf Clubs are free to carry on Virgin.
Tee off at midday - bonkers.
Tee off at 6am - go round in 3 hours and happy days.
