Let's make a deal: ARIA Resort & Casino offers discounted golf at Royal Links, Bali Hai and Desert Pines in Las Vegas

Some people love Las Vegas. Some people could live without it.

But the reality of the matter is only a handful of destinations in the world have a combination of restaurants, hotels, golf courses and nightlife (shows, bars, clubs, casinos, concerts, etc.) as good as Sin City.

As long as you don’t lose your shirt gaming all night, a Las Vegas getaway can be more affordable than you think. The ARIA Resort & Casino is offering a great stay-and-play package for golfers. Book a minimum two-night stay anytime before Feb. 28, 2013, for a rate of $159 and up and receive up to 40 percent off golf rates at three of the most unique and exciting golf courses in Las Vegas – Royal Links Golf Club, Bali Hai Golf Club, and Desert Pines Golf Club.

These Walters Golf courses all make guests feel like high-rollers with their excellent service and fine courses. British Open history comes to life at Royal Links, where all of the holes are replicas from courses that have hosted “The Open.” Markers shaped like books tell the history of each hole.

Bali Hai feels like a round in the tropics, while Desert Pines was shaped to transport golfers to the Carolinas. You can’t go wrong with any of the three.

Aria is a spectacle unto itself. There are nearly 20 places to eat, from world-class restaurants to small cafes; pools and a spa; and the HAZE nightclub. Cirque du Soleil will unveil its latest show, Zarkana, at the hotel on Nov. 1.
