twitterLetter: Country club can be successful in urban area
Monday, June 28, 2004 | 8:32 a.m.
In response to the article on the proposed sale of the Las Vegas Country Club, there is a segment of the population that has chosen to enjoy living "in the city."
One need only to drive through our area and see the multitude of upscale condominiums being developed in this area, such as Turnberry, Madison Towers, Metropolis, Panorama, the La Concha Development and the Las Vegas Grand. The residents of these million-dollar condos will be looking for a private country club. It is a rare luxury to find a private country club in the middle of a metropolitan city. Las Vegas is similar to Los Angeles in that the Los Angeles Country Club and the Hillcrest Country Club are examples of two successful country clubs operating in the city.
Wynn Resorts is only addressing the tourism industry and not the quality of life for the Las Vegas residents, and in the process is ignoring the unique history of the first gated community in Las Vegas.
