"Opening November 8 at Mandalay Bay, I’m looking forward to an adults-only mini-golf attraction that occupies a 40,000-square-foot space on the Las Vegas Strip and leans hard into whimsy: four themed courses (clocktower, hot air balloon, carousel, meteorite) full of over-the-top obstacles like windmills and waterwheels, projection lighting that animates the set pieces, and greens styled to evoke the English countryside. Cocktails can be ordered at the bar or by roving golf-cart caddies, and the venue includes an old-timey arcade, a DJ booth, high-saturation scenery for post-putting revelry, and a buzzy New York pizzeria inside; the company raised $50 million for the Vegas flagship, tickets start at $30 per person, a typical nine-hole round takes about 40 minutes, and tee times run from 12:30 p.m. until midnight daily." - Janna Karel
