Spouse/Guest Program Offers Tours of the Hoover Dam, Las
Vegas and Lake Mead
The program gets off to an early
start on Wednesday with a continental breakfast at the hotel, so that
participants can catch the bus for a 45-minute ride to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.
Enjoy a wonderful cruise aboard the Desert Princess – an authentic 300 passenger
paddlewheel boat, built especially to cruise the blue waters of Lake Mead.
Whatever the season, travel in climate controlled comfort on one of the two
enclosed decks or feel the wind in your hair and the desert sun on your face up
top on the open promenade deck. A light lunch (sandwich, chips, fruit and a
drink) will be served to you while you are on the boat.
There will be approximately
one-and-a-half hours to observe and take pictures of Hoover Dam,
as well as plentyof time to see the exhibit hall, visitor’s center, the indoor
and outdoor observation decks, and a 25-minute video of the dam's original
construction. The tour will include a bonus stop at Ethel M’s Chocolate Factory
and Botanical Gardens. The bus will return to the hotel around 5 pm.
Participants will get to sleep
in a bit on Thursday, as the brunch and program begins at 9 am. The program will
consist of casino gaming lessons – whether you are a complete novice or just
need to brush up on the rules, the lessons will help you gain confidence so you
can enjoy yourself without worrying that you are doing something wrong. In
addition to learning the rules of the game, you’ll also learn about the
etiquette and jargon associated with each game.
The afternoon
will feature a bus tour of Las Vegas – focusing on city highlights. This tour
will take you down the Las Vegas Strip, while you learn about Las Vegas' history
and plans for the future. Participants will experience the beauty of Bellagio,
from the peering hand-blown glass flowers, created by world-renowned artist,
Dale Chihuly, to the Conservatory and Botanical Garden that will submerge the
senses in fragrance, texture and color. The journey will continue to “Downtown”
Las Vegas where guests can catch a glimpse of Las Vegas history at Fremont
Street. Following Fremont Street guests will be transferred to either the World
Famous Stratosphere Hotel or the Eiffel Tower at Paris Hotel where guests will
experience magnificent views of the City of Las Vegas.
“The National” has a long history in the Las Vegas Valley. Just after
completion in 1961, The National, then called the Stardust Country Club, hosted
its first professional golf event, the LPGA Championship. From that date forward
history was made. The layout, designed by Bert Stamps, is traditional in design
and even today is a challenge for the best of players. The National has become a
landmark over the last 50 years. It was host to the movie “Casino”, starring
Robert DeNiro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci. Current Las Vegas Mayor Oscar
Goodman also had a cameo role. The house used in the movie sits off to the left
of the #1 Tee Box between the #1 and #18 fairways.
The scramble will start at 7:30 am, followed by lunch at
12:00 pm. The award and hole prizes will immediately follow lunch at the
clubhouse.
The Las Vegas National Golf Club is a traditional, oasis
styled golf course with thousands of trees which place a premium on ball
position. The course is nestled in the middle of the city of Las Vegas. The Las
Vegas National Golf Club has fairways that meander in the shadows of proud palm
trees and greens that are flanked by sand traps. Two beautiful lakes come into
play on four of the holes making them very challenging, five intriguing par 3
holes offer a stern test while four mid-length par fives offer a good chance for
par or birdie.
Check out the course at www.lasvegasnational.com.
All golfers must register in advance for the tournament. Sign
up before March 15 and pay $105; after March 15 - $1115. Team groupings and
