Going to Las Vegas. I heard there is a hotel downtown that has pickleball courts on its roof.
Can anyone tell me the name of the hotel? Are there any other hotels in LV with pickleball courts. Thank you.

Hi Robert,
You’re probably thinking of the Plaza Hotel! See here: http://www.plazahotelcasino.com/hotel/pickleball
It looks like there may be a few other hotels that offer pickleball. I would take a look at the USAPA listings under Nevada and search for Vegas from there: http://www.usapa.org/places-to-play-pickleball

Thank you, Laura. I also heard that Bally’s has pickleball, but when I called to find out more about it, I was not able to get more information. Do you or does any one know about pickleball at Bally’s?

After doing a search it looks like Bally’s hosted a pickleball tournament this past April (http://www.worldpickleball.com/event/spring-paddle-on-the-strip-at-ballys-las-vegas). They seem to have tennis courts marked for pickleball, though it’s odd the hotel itself wouldn’t know about this. I would use the email posted in the link to try to get in touch with Brett Anderson, since it seems he’s associated with it.
You might also try contacting the Bally’s Tennis Club specifically instead of the main hotel; maybe they’ll know more: http://www.ballystennis.com/contact.html

I contacted Bally’s Tennis Club & yes they do have pickleball. The courts are at Bally’s but the pickleball/tennis is independent from the hotel. So, anyone, staying at any hotel can go play. Cost is reasonable; cost more to play at night (because of having to use lights).
