Adult Education for Your Vegas Vacation

Not that there aren’t things to learn from visiting a Strip nightclub, but some Las Vegas visitors are looking for more substantial skills to take home with them. With these tourists in mind, we’ve compiled a list of luxury vacation skills you can learn while staying in Las Vegas. We threw in some of those nightclub skills as well.

Golf Lessons

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Red Rock Canyon, this PGA Tour sanctioned Tournament Players Club is the premier course in Glitter Gulch. The quality of TPC Las Vegas is matched only by its certified golf instructors. The club is one of only five permanent TOURAcademy locations in the United States, offering prestigious golf instruction programs open to the public. Programs include one-, two- and three-day “Lite Training” sessions that include personalized instruction, comprehensive student manual and written game plans for success. “Elite Training” programs are also available and include rounds of golf.

Craps Lessons

You want to walk up to the table and throw some bones, but a crowded craps table can be as intimidating as an underground cock fighting pit in a foreign country; the gamblers seem to be speaking a different language and its never certain what you’re wagering on. Luckily, most of the major casinos on the Las Vegas Strip offer free lessons for would-be shooters. The Venetian, for example, will teach new players the ins and outs of the popular game for free. Those interested should head to the tables in The Venetian’s main gaming area Mondays through Fridays at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. You can also enjoy comped drinks while you learn. Be sure to tip the dealers. It’s polite, and who couldn’t use a little positive karma on the tables.

Cooking Classes

Las Vegas is renowned for its vast collection of culinary delights. We’re talking Michelin stars on Michelin stars here. So why not tap into the fountain of epicurean knowledge that is Sin City? Bellagio offers visitors the rare chance to cook alongside its executive chefs. This year’s courses lean toward classic dishes such as lobster bisque, beef wellington and Thanksgiving dinner. The instruction is hands-on and intimate. Executive chefs-in-training are provided their own cooking station and all tools and ingredients needed. The 20-person cap on these classes ensures some one-on-one instruction.

Pole Dancing Classes

A trip to Las Vegas can’t be all snooty wine tastings and country club fare. Get a little sinful with some pole dancing lessons from the good folks at Night School 4 Girls. Perfect for bachelorette parties and ladies’ nights, you’ll learn some useful vacation skills to take home from actual Las Vegas strippers. All attendees receive a NS4G goodie bag and t-shirt. Premium packages include passes to some of the Strip’s hottest nightclubs, so you can take those new moves to the streets!

Exotic Car Racing

There’s not much more luxurious than the feeling of firing up a 500+ horsepower Lamborghini for a few hot laps around a private road course. Exotics Racing is here to take your driving skills to the next level. Drivers can choose from a variety of exotic super cars like the Aston Martin Vantage GT, Audi R8, Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Gallardo. After a brief instructional meeting, you’ll get five laps on the 1.2-mile road course to push these impressive machines to the limit. Transportation to and from the racetrack is provided for guests of most major Strip resorts.
