Of Course It Has A Top Notch Water Hazard, aka It's Pool

Topgolf Las Vegas is the world's most insane driving range

It has 108 hitting bays, six flashing, multi-colored targets, four levels that cover 105,000 square feet, five fully-stocked bars, a plethora of large-screen TVs that are designed to showcase every significant sporting event (there are even TVs at the far end of the range, so you can hit balls while watching sports), a concert venue, a Callaway Golf fitting studio, two pools, a pro shop that sells everything from polos and board shorts to tanks and bikinis, and, well, you get the idea.

Topgolf Las Vegas, the largest Topgolf yet, is about to become hottest venue on the Las Vegas Strip.

"Our flagship venue is the product of nearly four years of hard work and reimagining what the Topgolf experience could be like," said Topgolf CEO Ken May. "We can't wait to welcome our fans and new guests from all over the world to play at Topgolf."

The venue, which is located right behind the MGM Grand, opens its doors to the public on May 19th at 8 a.m. PDT, and it's expecting more than one million visitors in its first year. We got to experience Topgolf Las Vegas at a media event on Tuesday night, and it's nothing short of insane.

A Good Read If You Got A Few Minutes

How Skylar Diggins is building a brand that transcends the WNBA

Diggins has a jock's cool disposition, so when she smiles, it's transformative, like a ray of light passing through stained glass. In person, she is disarmingly beautiful, with hooded eyes, Ginsu knife -- sharp cheekbones and the kind of lips people pay for in Beverly Hills.

None of this has anything to do with Skylar Diggins the athlete -- the 25-year-old point guard who was shooting 45 percent from 3-point range before tearing her ACL last year, the terrifying competitor who once told her alumni magazine: "I lead with fear, not love." But it is certainly relevant to Skylar Diggins the brand. Since signing with Jay Z's Roc Nation in 2013 -- she's the sports agency's only female client -- she has done deals with the likes of Nike and BodyArmor, posed in Vogue and Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue and twerked on MTV's Wild N' Out. She's an advertiser's dream, the kind of celebrity who tests off the charts on public opinion surveys. "She's relatable. She's cool. She's relevant," says Michael Yormark, the president of Roc Nation. "She's incredibly marketable."

I Agree With These Tips

14 Weight-Loss Tips From People Who Have Lost 50 Pounds or More

Don't go on a diet
  • Embracing an eating plan specifically designed for weight loss is a temporary measure to a permanent problem. "A 'diet' is something a person goes on, knowing there comes a time when they go off of it," says Randy Hartman, a reinvention coach who has lost more than 80lbs. "This only exacerbates the problems and ends in yo-yo weight loss. It's far better to embark on an eating plan that you can follow for the rest of your life. Consistency over the long haul is key."
Make fitness a priority, but go slowly
  • Naomi Teeter, the blogger behind Inspire Transformation, knew it was a priority to make working out a habit when she began her weight-loss journey -- all in all, she lost 150lbs and has managed to keep 125lbs off for seven years. Yet she cautions against going too hardcore. "Too many people live by the philosophy, 'Go hard or go home,' when it comes to fitness and beat themselves to the ground when they first start out, causing them to give up more easily," she explains. "Your workout doesn't have to be insane to be good."
Don't ban specific foods
  • Making certain foods “off limits” can tempt you even more -- and almost always leads to overindulging. According to Lehman, she eats chocolate "almost every single day," yet has still managed to keep the weight off. "Of course, willpower still comes into play here, but don't cut your favorite foods out of your diet completely."
Focus on feeling better, rather than what you see in the mirror
  • Sometimes "looking good in a bathing suit" isn't a big enough goal, at least not if you want to keep the weight off for longer than the warm summer months. "It's important to establish the reason why you want to get healthy. Maybe it's for your kids or grandkids," Byers suggests. "Maybe you want to get healthy so you can have a family. No matter where you are in your journey, I encourage you to think about your personal 'why' and post it on a vision board where you can see it every day."
Eat a lean protein and complex carb during each meal
  • For Byers, that meant lots of grilled chicken with sweet potatoes, grilled zucchini with asparagus, and meal-replacement shakes. "One of my favorite meals is scrambled egg whites with hash browns and green salsa mixed together," she says. "Another favorite is extra-lean turkey tacos on corn tortillas and avocado slices, plus salsa."
