Las Vegas was once a hot bed of tennis activity. But that was back in the days when the $0.99 prime rib buffet was reality, not just a fond memory.

Owners of the new $10 million International Tennis Centre hope to change that.

“For years, Las Vegas was a popular spot for tennis enthusiasts,” said Jim Ahearn, CEO of ITS Las Vegas. “Over time, people started turning to other recreational sports because of the city’s desert climate and lack of indoor facilities. The opening of the International Tennis Centre is bringing tennis back to Vegas for visitors, residents and pros.”

The 90,000-square-foot indoor facility features eight Deco Turf II courts—the same courts used for the U.S. Open—which are illuminated by broadcast-quality lighting (read: it’s bright). The climate-controlled environment is perfect for everything from a serious match to lessons and corporate events.

Located at 5975 Topaz St. in Las Vegas, the ITC has a number of individual, family and corporate membership plans available. It is also open to the public based on hourly pricing.
