Wynn Las Vegas has opened a new destination overlooking its golf course, combining dining, drinks and golf amenities in a two-level clubhouse above the 18th green. Cliff House debuted October 2 at Wynn Golf Club, giving golfers, hotel guests and Las Vegas locals access to a setting that feels intentionally removed from the Strip despite sitting in the middle of the resort corridor.
The new clubhouse includes Cliff House Grill, a player’s lounge, pro shop, locker rooms and a rooftop tee that moves one of the course’s starting points onto the top of the building. The structure was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in collaboration with Wynn Design & Development, with architectural elements intended to acknowledge the Desert Inn, which once occupied the property before Wynn was developed.
Food is a major part of the concept rather than simply an amenity for golfers. Led by Executive Chef Patricia Gamez, Cliff House Grill transitions from breakfast and lunch into afternoon small plates and cocktails. Menu selections include Sticky Toffee Pancakes, a Beef Birria Breakfast Burrito, the 18th Hole Benedict, Bigeye Tuna Aguachile and a Marinated Grilled Steak “Sando,” while later offerings include items such as crispy chicken tenders and Prime Rib Sliders.
The restaurant is also designed to function independently from a round of golf. Cliff House Grill is open to resort guests, locals and other visitors whether they are golfing or not. Floor-to-ceiling views and an open-air terrace overlook the 18th green, waterfall, mature landscaping and surrounding desert, while the Strip itself largely disappears from view.
Cliff House gives Wynn Golf Club a more substantial social and dining hub while adding another restaurant experience that does not depend on the casino floor. The combination of clubhouse dining, sunset cocktails, course views and the unusual rooftop tee gives the property appeal beyond golfers alone, while its nod to the former Desert Inn connects Wynn’s newest addition with the history of the land beneath one of the Strip’s most recognizable resorts.
