I visited as part of the Power Pass activities' package. They're just across the street from a convenient Big Bus stop (comes once every half hour!) and are really good about discounts and coupons, so you can find many online- from Groupons to BOGOs.
This indoor mini golf location is entirely KISS-themed, illuminated with black lights, and actually pretty fun in and of itself! As a late[r] Millennial, I actually had never heard of KISS until looking this place up (a "sorry" here to all my elders), but am happy to say that I still enjoyed my visit and experience here. :) The air-conditioned building was a pleasant reprieve from the heat & blasting Arizona dry winds outside. They DO play loud KISS music (which can only be expected) and the bathrooms are all graffiti-ed over (though clean, I found), if that doesn't float your boat.
The staff was totally chill and gave me a free 'nother golf ball to finish up with after I managed to lose one in a hole near the very end. After finishing, they also gave us another coupon for a free play to use some other day.
All in all, I liked it! It's a nice place to try going with your pals mid-day for some group fun and a serious dose of atmosphere &...
Read moreWhat a cool place! Part KISS mini museum, part mini golf, part arcade, part event space, part store, all awesome. It can be a bit hard to find once inside the Rio and we had to ask for help, but a nice person pointed us the right way and we found it no problem. We were actually just a few minutes late for our reservation because of traffic and huge problem getting food well before our “tee time”. The girl at the counter was so awesome about it and said it was no problem, it wasn’t super busy, maybe a few very small groups way ahead of us. At first look it doesn’t seem all that challenging, but it actually really is, with hidden obstacles. The design is straightforward to get from hole to hole and they definitely make the most of the space. The story of KISS lines the walls in paint and it’s fun to follow along while KISS blares from the speakers and displays on the video screens. When we returned our clubs we got a free game coupon for the loser (it was me). We didn’t make it back in time to use it but it made a cool souvenir. Next Vegas trip we will absolutely be...
Read moreKISS Mini Golf is operated by Monster Mini Golf, the same as the Twilight Zone Mini Golf at Horseshoe. We've been to the Twilight Zone location many times and finally made it to the KISS location at the Rio. Both locations are 18 holes.
There was no wait and there is a discount for locals, so don't forget to ask for that before you pay, just show your Nevada ID. It saves $2 per ticket. Regular price is $12.95.
This course was more difficult than Twilight Zone, but was so much fun! KISS music was playing loud and videos were playing on various screens. The art on the walls, the decor and features in the course were also fun. They also had some KISS facts on the walls as well.
There is a separate Gene Simmons KISS World Museum which we didn't go through, but outside of the entrance was an extensive amount of gold records, etc. There was also some memorabilia that you could buy.
There's a small arcade area, but sad to say, only 2 Skeeball lanes. LOL We love Skeeball but had to pass it up since kids were playing. Well,...
