LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Three months have passed since Atomic Golf Las Vegas swung open its doors for customers, but now the entertainment venue is announcing layoffs.

Atomic Golf Las Vegas previously announced in Nov. 2023 the intention to hire more than 500 people, during what the company called a “hiring blitz.”

The location located next to The STRAT Hotel & Casino offered customers four floors of golf bays with access to food, beverage, and other entertainment options.

Atomic Golf Las Vegas responded to an 8 News Now request regarding layoffs at their only location on Las Vegas Boulevard.

“We can confirm that there have been recent layoffs at Atomic Golf Las Vegas,” the company wrote in a statement. “We appreciate the dedication and contributions of all our employees and extend our gratitude to those who have been impacted.”

8 News Now visited the attraction Friday and spoke to staff at Atomic Golf Las Vegas who confirmed a “substantial” number of staff had been laid off in May.

The golfing venue did have two floors of the four floors of their business full on Friday with multiple group events being catered by staff.

Kelci Balkcom, event sales manager for Atomic Golf Las Vegas, recently highlighted to 8 News Now the multiday event titled “Heatwave” which will take place during Memorial Day Weekend.

Atomic Golf Las Vegas did not respond to 8 News Now questions regarding how many staff were laid off and what day it occurred.
