Tournament directors expect more than 400 players, both professionals and amateurs, to play in this year’s event on the Plaza’s newly resurfaced tournament level courts.

Spectators are welcome to watch any of the matches for free.
“The Plaza has built a reputation as a premier pickleball destination. As a result, the Las Vegas Pickleball Open has welcomed hundreds of players from across the globe over the years, and it is very exciting that the event is celebrating its fifth anniversary on our rooftop courts.” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino.
