If you love to have a couple of “pops” and putt-putt golf anytime day or night, get ready for “Swingers” on the Las Vegas Strip! That’s right! According to a recent article put out by The Street, “Swingers” is a concept of mixing miniature golf with a bar…keep in mind it’s not even close to being family friendly! If you can imagine, it’s putt-putt golf with an “adult” theme!

In the article, according to CEO Matt Grech-Smith on the company’s website, “The idea behind Swingers was to create the most ridiculously fun venue possible.” With locations already in London, New York and Washington D.C., this concept seems to be perfect for Las Vegas!

Tee it up Swingers and let’s play some putt-putt!

Now The Mike & Carla Morning Show want you to know that this is definitely NOT your father’s version of putt-putt golf! All we had for the longest time here was “Scandia”! This is NOT that! The Vegas location will be at Mandalay Bay, at the south end of the Strip. Three stories, five courses, crazy food and they will also have the music pumpin’! Each of the five courses will offer different challenges to the expert putt-putt golfer.

“Swingers” should fit in perfectly with the theme of our city by the name alone! Do keep in mind that the name is has nothing to do with “that” specific lifestyle, but popping up in “Sin City” does go hand in hand with the image.

Keeping in mind that the entire concept began as a pop-up location back in 2014 in London and is now worldwide. Clearly fans are diggin’ the concept of taking putt-putt golf to another level. Of course, adding in food and booze doesn’t hurt. So, let’s get ready for an entirely new level of putt-putt golf!

The parent company has offered no timetable for the new venue to open…but are hoping for next year some time. “Swingers” Las Vegas location will be close to 40,000 square feet and is set to be the flagship location for the company! Well of course it will…c’mon it’s Vegas baby!

Nevada Ranks In Top 5 Most Fun States; Who Is Number 1

The United States is filled with attractive sceneries and interactive exertions that create each state’s individualism. Americans and international visitors flock yearly to seek landmarks for bucket list goals. Local amenities make all the difference when a state is attempting to charm visitors for a “fun” time. Amenities that states offer include restaurants, shopping, theme parks, movie theaters, concerts and shows that keep the city on it’s toes.

When you think of a fun state which state comes to mind right away? Is it California for all of their theme parks including Disneyland, LEGOLand, Knotts Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain? Or Florida, for their glamourous beaches and party atmosphere? Or maybe, it’s Arizona for the desert oasis landscapes and historical museums?

Nevertheless, let’s find out which state really has the most fun while also being budget friendly.

Our friends at Wallethub, have conducted a survey to find out the states who are most fun in the U.S. The data they discovered covers 26 key metrics that examine how many options are available per capita.

A few of the key metrics consist of:

Variety of Arts, Entertainment & Recreation Establishments
Fitness Centers per Capita
Performing-Arts Theaters per Capita
Golf Courses & Country Clubs per Capita

For performing art theaters per capita, New York and California tied for the number one spot. Evidently, there was a 23 times difference from best to state to worst state for the amount of art theaters per capita. Mississippi was the worst state ranking at number 50.

The state of Alaska took the number one spot for most access to national parks. Illinois took the last spot at number 50 for the worst accessibility.

The state that has the number one spot for “State & Local Expenditures on Parks & Recreation per Capita”? Nevada! Though, we are tied with three other states including Colorado, North Dakota and Wyoming. Connecticut took last place (50) in this category.

States with a higher score too 100 are most fun compared to lower scores closer to one which are seen as least fun.
