Best Places to see Sports in Las Vegas

Let's face it, you can pull those slot levers only too long before you start getting a sore arm. And as hypnotic as Cirque de Soleil may be, there is going to come a time when you just need to get away from the glitz and glamour and expend some sweat. So, what are the best sports spots in Vegas?

If your idea of a sport concludes with the disappearance of a dimpled spherical object into a buried canister then pack your clubs and head straight for the Angel Park Golf Club on Rampart Blvd. With not one but two 18 hole courses, a short course and a top notch putting facility, it's no wonder that Angel Park has consistently ranked as the best place in town to pretend you're Tiger Woods.

If you like to play with bigger balls, then try stroking them into the pockets at Pink E's Fun Food & Spirits on Flamingo Road. Here you can play pool 24 hours a day should you please, as well as dance and dine. And if you stop by at midnight on Mondays you can even enjoy a wet T-shirt contest, too! Sure, it may not qualify as a sport yet, but it's a bigger spectator event in America than soccer.

For those who carry around really big balls, the best place to bring them out has to be the Orleans Bowling Center on Tropicana Avenue. With 70 lanes, you shouldn't have terribly much difficulty in getting onto the wax without a long wait. And if you do find a waiting line, then head over to the Santa Fe Station on Rancho Drive with its bargain rates. Either place is a great way to get out some frustrations.

Of course, one man's frustration is another man's nagging little


bother. If you are genuinely interested in safely working off some tension while engaging in a little action movie fantasizing, then maybe you should take a visit to the American Gun Club. Located on Arville Street, the club has two indoor pistol shooting facilities at 25 and 50 yards and a 50 yard rifle range. It's a great place to either relieve anxiety or make believe you are one of the gangsters who ruled Vegas.

Do you suppose Bugsy Siegel ever rode a skateboard? Nah, probably not. Okay, so you can't really pretend to be a gangster at the Desert Breeze Park, but let your imagination soar as you pretend you are Tony Hawk taming the ramps, walls and bars. If you like your workouts minus the risk of fractured tibias and femurs, then check out one of the many gyms scattered across the town. Either 24 Hour Fitness or Las Vegas Athletic Clubs are available at multiple locations and both offer fully stocked, high-tech gym equipment along with tracks and pools.

Of course, if you're really wanting to swim, there is only one place in all of Vegas that you must go: Mandalay Bay. This manmade beach features over ten acres of sand, three pools and a lazy river ride. It's the next best thing to actually going to Lake Mead.
