On the 8th of September 2011 while on our holiday in Las Vegas Emily and I visited The Swingers Club - which is actually a Bar within the Plaza Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas that is home to a 9-hole Mini Golf course!
The course became the 268th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
The rather risqué name for the new Music and Mini Golf venue doesn't refer to anything that the double-entendre may suggest. During the day and evening The Swingers Club will feature music by Dueling Pianos!
The course is fun to play and even though the holes themselves are not that long, they are still fairly tricky.
The 6th hole is very crazy too, as it involves a Chip Shot! Haunted Hole 9 is odd too and involves Putting the ball up a haunted Escalator!? This was the only hole I managed to get a hole-in-one on.
We'd heard The Swingers Club was open from 11am until 4am, however when we visited at around 4pm it was closed, and when we checked with various staff in the Casino and Hotel we were eventually told it wouldn't be open until 8pm on that day so we had to revisit later in the evening. At least it was open and we were able to play in the end!
The Swingers Club is a nice addition to the Las Vegas Entertainment scene and I'd play there again on my next visit to Vegas.
In our Irregular Mini Golf Tour Match-up I defeated Emily 22-27. This match was the first round of the 2011 Las Vegas Minigolf Desert Classic between the two of us.

Interesting course, especially the chip-shot hole.
Escalator hole was weird, but good use of the space :)
Fun bar too.
And I won $4.25 on a slot out the front! Woo Hoo.
