Kiss Mini Golf has successfully relocated from its previous off-Strip location to
\nRio Las Vegas resort.<\/p>\n

The attraction has taken up residence in the space formerly occupied by the hotel’s
\nVillage Seafood Buffet. The seafood buffet has been integrated into Rio’s Carnival
\nWorld Buffet.<\/p>\n

\"Kiss
Historically, being located in this part of the Rio is the Kiss of death. Let’s hope Kiss Mini Golf can defy the odds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The new Kiss Mini Golf, technically “Monster Mini Golf Presents Kiss” (Monster Mini
\nGolf is a chain, and this is the chain’s first and only Kiss-themed outpost), is a
\nwhopping 13,000-square-feet.<\/p>\n

Fans of the previous location will see many of the trademark interior design
\nelements, including glow-in-the-dark guitars and artwork.<\/p>\n

\"Kiss
At one time, Gene Simmons’ tongue was insured for $1 million.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fans of the Rio’s seafood will recognize some elements of the former restaurant,
\ntoo. For example, the restaurant’s revolving gelato machine (see below) has cleverly been
\nturned into a display case.<\/p>\n

\"Kiss
From gelato to guitar picks. Anything can happen in Vegas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Perhaps not surprisingly, Kiss music plays throughout the menu non-stop.<\/p>\n

Kiss Mini Golf also features numerous video displays (playing Kiss videos, of
\ncourse) hundreds of pieces of Kiss memorabilia and a sprawling gift shop.<\/p>\n

\"Kiss
What happens on the tour bus stays on the tour bus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There’s also a “Love It Loud” wedding chapel and a DJ booth.<\/p>\n

It’s a lively environment, and the venue adds a much-needed energy to a relative dead zone in the casino at Rio Las Vegas. (To drive home the point, Kiss Mini Golf isn’t too far from a large section of the Rio’s casino devoted to timeshare sales.)<\/p>\n

\"Rio
We love this photo so much, we predict Rio will share it without our permission or appropriate attribution at some point in the future. Just a hunch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The family-friendly Kiss Mini Golf at Rio Las Vegas is open 10:00 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week.<\/p>\n

\"Gene
This boot is modeled after Gene Simmons’ signature monster boots, created in 1976 for a photo shoot to promote the band’s album, “Destroyer.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There’s no fee to check the place out, the cost to play 18 holes is $11.95.<\/p>\n
