Leading from Anthem Club Drive, Club Side Drive is the road leading to the Anthem Country Club in southern Las Vegas. Part of the exclusive Anthem Country Club, you are surrounded by the mansions of multi-millionaires living within this secure gated community. At the end of Club Side Drive, the clubhouse for the Anthem Country Club, is the home to one of the finest views in all of the Las Vegas area. At night the entire Strip is lit up in the valley below you. Enjoy dinner at the clubhouse with the palatial green grass of the golf course around you, and as the sun goes down, dazzle at the views of dancing lights and colours coming from the Strip below.

As the main street leading into the Anthem Country Club, all entrants must pass through an armed security checkpoint in order to enter this exclusive gated community. While this can detract from the ambiance, it is a big selling point for the multi-millionaire residents. Once inside, you begin to understand why. The Anthem area is filled with 10,000+ sqft mansions with amazing views of the Las Vegas area. At night, the entire Strip is laid out in front of you living room window. You don't need binoculars, the naked eye is simply dazzled by the variety of colours and lights.

In addition, as this is a country club, a world-class golf club and club facility are available to all residents.

E Wynn Gate Rd is the main enterence to the Wynn hotel and casino from the Strip (S Las Vegas Blvd). Directly across from the Fashion Show Mall, from here at night you can see the great copper towers that are the Wynn hotel in all of their glory. With the construction of the just completed Encore, there are now 2 towers on the Wynn property, well worth seeing. If looking for food, avoid the Fashion Show Mall and it's tourist traps, head into the Wynn and explore the various restaurants and cafes with their freshly prepared meals, from romantic dinner for 2 to a quick grilled cheese and tomato soup for the kids.

Koval Lane is a well guarded secret amongst the cab drivers of Las Vegas. When traffic on S Las Vegas Blvd is all jammed up (which is everyday), Koval Ln is your best friend. It runs N-S behind all of the hotels on the east side of LV Blvd, from the Tropicana up to the Venetian. Cabbies know when they need to get somewhere, this is the way to go to avoid the tourists cruising up and down the strip. While not at all athstetically pleasing (just lock the doors and floor it), you'll get where you need to go with plenty of time to spare.

Good journey!
