The Courts LV Opens in Las Vegas as New Pickleball Destination

The first wave of pickleball in Las Vegas was about finding any court you could. The next wave looks a lot more like The Courts LV: eight regulation indoor courts, 24/7 access, membership and non-membership play, and a Summerlin address at 10000 Covington Cross Drive built to feel less like a gym and more like a destination.

The club marked its arrival during National Pickleball Month, the April celebration USA Pickleball established in 2018. USA Pickleball says its 2026 program supports more than 230 sanctioned events nationwide, a sign of how deeply the sport has moved into the mainstream and how aggressively facilities are now competing for the everyday player as well as the league regular. The Courts LV is trying to win that crowd with a premium indoor setup and a pitch that goes beyond court time.

Co-founder SueEllen Arroyo said the club’s vision is to build a modern pickleball space where players of all ages and skill levels feel confident walking in, connected while playing and inspired to return. That idea shows up in the venue’s own branding, which frames the club around community as much as competition and uses the tagline, “Come for the Pickleball. Stay for the People!” The Courts says it wants to make the sport more accessible, more social and more meaningful while still keeping standards of play high.

That positioning matters in Las Vegas, where pickleball has already become a serious recreation business. Earlier local planning included a $12 million proposal for a 30-court pickleball complex, and other projects have drawn community pushback over noise, traffic, parking and neighborhood impact. In that kind of market, a new club has to sell more than square footage. It has to sell convenience, consistency and a reason to choose indoor play over improvised public options.

For local players, The Courts LV is aiming at the middle ground that often gets overlooked: the beginner who wants a comfortable first run, the casual player who wants dependable court access, and the regular who wants a place that feels polished enough to return to week after week. With its first location in Summerlin and a May 1 opening on the calendar, The Courts LV is entering Las Vegas as part sports venue, part social space and part marker of where amateur pickleball is headed next.
