Prior to the opening, a BraveWords.com spy said that KISS By Monster Mini Golf "will be a huge success. KISS fans will dig it. Rock fans will dig it. Tourists will dig it. Kids will looooove this place. Which is, I think, what will keep it going for a long time."

According to the BraveWords.com spy, these are The Eight Cool Things About KISS By Monster Mini Golf:

1) The front door to the VIP lounge is a hand crafted replica of the door from The Elder cover.

2) The stage for Hotter Than Hell Wedding Chapel is a reproduction of the Love Gun cover with marble floors and pillars.

3) The entrance to the place is a hand painted replica of giant KISS statues in their Destroyer poses standing on top of a giant golf ball.

4) In a corner by the 9th hole is a replica of a KISS stage with four life size KISS figures that will move animatronically on a timer.

5) The KISS gift shop has seemingly everything you can buy on their website right in front of you.

6) The cafe is shaped like the K in KISS' logo, and has three tv sets playing three different KISSOLOGY DVDs simultaneously without audio.

7) There is a DJ booth in another corner of the course with the entire KISS iTunes catalog on shuffle.

8) 20-foot replicas of Paul's cracked mirror guitar, Gene's axe bass and Ace's custom Les Paul on different holes of the course. Yes, they will smoke and spit blood as well.

“Our challenge is to continue to find ways to weave KISS into the very fabric of Americana," said Paul Stanley. "We'll be there to celebrate the first ever KISS By Monster Mini Golf grand opening in Las Vegas. This is miniature golf KISS style and another part of our KISS world. We've big plans for this and in this case what happens in Vegas won't stay in Vegas.".

Gene Simmons added: “This venue is perfect for Las Vegas. Where else can you go play a round of KISS By Monster Mini Golf and then renew your wedding vows in an official KISS “Hotter Than Hell” Wedding chapel, only in Vegas.”
