Tennis in Las Vegas, Nevada

While most of the resort hotels offer a fitness center, they do not all have a tennis court. There are four hotels in Las Vegas that do offer tennis courts. They are Bally’s and Flamingo that are both located on the Las Vegas Strip, The Hilton located on Paradise Road near the Convention Center, and The Plaza in Fremont.

Practice your backhand stroke on one of Bally’s championship-caliber tennis courts. Bally’s has eight tennis courts that are fully illuminated for night play. They offer experienced tennis professionals to provide private or group instruction on request. If you are interested in creating a tennis social event, private tournament and clinics can be arranged for corporate and convention guests.

Bally’s address is 3645 Las Vegas Blvd South, Las Vegas, NV 89109, or phone (877) 603-4390.

The Flamingo provides their guests opportunity to perfect their tennis skills at any of their four lighted tennis courts. The courts are located near their four swimming pools and surrounded by the lush foliage of their 15-acre tropical paradise. Adjacent to the tennis courts is a pro shop. In the pro shop at the Flamingo, you will find racquets, clothing, tennis related items, and other unique items such as racquet-shaped stationary and tennis ball watches. Players looking for expert instructions, can arrange for lessons from their staff of professional tennis players.

The Flamingo address is 3555 Las Vegas Blvd South, Las Vegas, NV 89109, or phone (702) 733-3111 or 800-732-2111.

The Las Vegas Hilton also offers adult clinics for tennis players at the beginner and intermediate levels. The cost is about $25 per person.

The Las Vegas Hilton tennis courts are situated on their eight-acre rooftop recreation deck. The deck has multiple levels that include a heated outdoor pool, whirlpool, fitness center, walking track and the tennis courts.

The Las Vegas Hilton address is 3000 Paradise Rd., Las Vegas, Nevada 89109, or phone (702) 732.5009 or (888) 732.7117.

After a brisk game of tennis, venture to the Plaza’s Dome Ultra Sports Lounge. The Dome is located on the second floor of the North Tower at the Plaza.
