9th Annual Las Vegas Corporate Invitational
Highlights
Medical Meetings' annual meeting planner golf tournament featured two of Las Vegas’ most spectacular courses: Cascata and Rio Secco.Over the past decade, Las Vegas has become known as a golf destination par excellence, and this year's Las Vegas Corporate Invitational Golf Tournament took place on two of the finest layouts that the city has to offer.
The first day of the tournament — which was sponsored by the MeetingsNet magazines of Penton Media Inc. (which publishes Medical Meetings) and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority — was held at Cascata. Designed by Rees Jones, the par-72 course, which sits at the base of Red Mountain about 30 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, offered participants long, lush green fairways.
The second day of play took place at another Rees Jones course, Rio Secco Golf Club. In the foothills of the Black Mountain Range, southeast of the Strip, Rio Secco last year earned Golfweek magazine's accolades as one of the country's 100 greatest resort courses.
The 36-hole event was won by the Luxor Hotel group, which included Darik Malone of Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino; Mike Ditter of ConferenceDirect; Jacque Goldy of MGM Mirage Corp.; and Chris Barnard of Ambassadors Performance Group. Each won a complete set of woods and irons from Nike Golf.
