Among the big names who are or were members of The Las Vegas Country Club are hotel magnates Kirk Kerkorian and Steve Wynn, in addition to celebrities Dean Martin and Pat Boone. Nevada governors and Las Vegas mayors have also been members of the Club including the current major, Carolyn Goodman, who is still a member with her husband, Oscar, the former mayor.
Major sports stars such as Andre Agassi, Joe Dimaggio and Jim Brown also spent a lot of time at the Club over the years. In The Las Vegas Country Club: Chronicle of an Icon, a book published recently by the Club, Agassi reminisced about his time there.
“It is astonishing to see such serenity, such charm, and something so timeless, in such proximity to the strip, the noisy pulse of our city," said Agassi, who played and practiced his craft at the Club while growing up and then while as a professional. "Golfers, tennis players and many of the families that are the fabric of Las Vegas take time to connect and enjoy the refuge and the beauty of nature in a way you could not find anywhere else in our city. The Las Vegas Country Club is a fixture in our community and has played a vital role in my professional tennis career.”
The Las Vegas Country Club course is an oasis in the heart of an international city. The holes play nearly in the shadows of the Las Vegas resorts, and in fact, the par 3, 17th hole and the tee of the par 5, 18th hole, do play in the shadow of the LVH hotel, the former home to Elvis Presley. The final holes at LVCC are among the most memorable in the city due to their proximity to the resort and their overall visual intrigue.
