You won’t find time chips or a screaming crowd here—just a tennis racket, a pickleball paddle, and a golf cart that may or may not come with Bluetooth speakers blasting Barry Manilow. Welcome to the Westgate Triathlon: a self-declared, unofficial, highly unregulated three-part challenge that combines some of the city’s most under-the-radar recreation into one gloriously random Vegas experience. Westgate guests and non-guests are welcome: you’ll just need to book the golf leg of your triathlon through Westgate.
Leg One: Tennis (because cardio should come with views)
Start on Westgate’s rooftop tennis courts, where the air is dry, the sun is direct, and the skyline makes your backhand look better than it is. Play a few games, hit a couple aces, or just pretend to be someone who knows what “love–15” actually means. Bonus points if you bring your own ball machine—or a friend who acts like one.
Leg Two: Pickleball (because you’re not ready for retirement, but you are ready for fun)
Then it's paddle up at one of Westgate’s eight outdoor pickleball courts. It’s fast, it’s chaotic, and it’s the only sport where dinking is not only legal but encouraged. You’ll be sweating by game two, wondering how this “retiree sport” turned into a legit workout. It’s basically cardio with a side of sass.
Leg Three: Golf (the cool-down, a.k.a. excuse to wear a visor)
Next, head across the street to the Las Vegas Country Club—where PGA legends once roamed, and now you, in your pickleball sweat, will confidently tee off on the front nine. It’s lush, it’s peaceful, and it’s the first time today you won’t have to sprint for a shot. If the Strip view doesn’t slow your pace, the margarita cart might.
Finish Line: cold plunge + snacks
Congratulations, you did it. You completed the most unexpectedly fabulous triathlon in town. Your prize? A cold plunge at the Serenity Spa and maybe a sushi roll from Rikki Tiki. Or, if you’re playing it right, a double order of nachos and a nap by the pool.
The Westgate Triathlon may not have medals—but it has energy, variety, and just enough chaos to make it feel like the most Vegas thing you’ve done all week.
