Plaza Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas is giving locals the opportunity to try out a new sport for free this September- pickleball. The iconic hotel and casino is offering complimentary pickleball lessons and play for Las Vegas residents throughout the month in an effort to promote the growing sport and bring the community together for some fun and friendly competition.
Pickleball, a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, has been gaining popularity in recent years, particularly among older adults looking for a low-impact, social activity. According to the Sports and Fitness Industry Association, pickleball participation has grown by 56% in the past year alone, making it one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States.
The Plaza Hotel-Casino is capitalizing on this trend by offering free pickleball lessons and play every Wednesday and Saturday in September. The lessons, which will be led by experienced instructors, will cover the basics of pickleball, including rules, techniques, and strategies. Participants will then have the opportunity to practice their skills in friendly matches against other players.
“We are excited to offer free pickleball lessons and play to our local community this September,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel-Casino. “Pickleball is a fun and engaging sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. We hope that by introducing more Las Vegas residents to the game, we can help foster a sense of community and camaraderie among our guests and neighbors.”
In addition to the free pickleball lessons and play, the Plaza Hotel-Casino is also offering special discounts on food and beverage purchases for participants. Players can enjoy a refreshing drink or delicious meal at the hotel’s various dining establishments, such as Oscar’s Steakhouse or Pop-Up Pizza, before or after their pickleball session.
The Plaza Hotel-Casino’s pickleball promotion is just one of the many ways the iconic Las Vegas venue is working to engage with the local community and provide unique experiences for its guests. Whether you’re a seasoned pickleball pro or a curious beginner, don’t miss this opportunity to try out a new sport and connect with fellow players at the Plaza Hotel-Casino this September.
