February 1, 2007--With more than two million residents, about 39 million annual visitors, and roughly 50 new golf courses built in the last decade, the Las Vegas Valley now sprawls to every corner. Gone are the days when you could get anywhere in 15 minutes. And if you are planning a trip to play golf in Las Vegas, determining your mode of transportation should be at the top of your list. A recent study by Desert Cab of Las Vegas reveals the average roundtrip cab fare to many Las Vegas golf courses, with Bali Hai Golf Club, Royal Links Golf Club, Stallion Mountain Golf Club, Desert Pines Golf Club and Las Vegas National Golf Club listed as the top five most affordable fares, with an average of about $31.
