LV National is in kind of a cheap area compared to LV CC so it always made sense to me that LV CC was where the scenes were filmed back then.
Sam's house is located at 3515 Cochise Lane which backs up to LV National. If you pull it up on Google Maps you can see the V-shaped pool in the back. Don't think there's any question about that.
Now, of course it's possible that they filmed the golf course scene, thought there was only one where Sam is out back going over the books with the agents while Nicky and his gang are playing golf and the plane runs out of gas and has to land on the course, somewhere other than the house on Cochise.
Personally, I thought the course the plane landed on looked pretty cheap which fits the bill for LV National. But of course they were trying to make it look like the 70's where courses weren't nearly as well manicured.
I'm 100% sure about the house itself being on LV National, the filming of the golf course not so much.
Ninja edit, in real life the FBI plane did land on LVCC in 1981, there is a replica of it in a pond on the course. Where they filmed that scene in Casino at, I don't know.
