Rob_c - email sent. Are they really asking $80/hour at this indoor tennis center where pros supposedly hit?
Yeah, they are. Gee, I wonder why it's always empty????

Hey Rob_C and onehandbh, you guys should figure out a way to play. I've hit with both of you and predict a good match.
Thanks for the heads up. Will try to make it happen.
As for u, Granite, looking forward to hooking up at IW next yr.

Yeah, same here, IW is going to be very cool this year. Remember last time when that dude i hit with wouldn't play a set and i called you back after you left but you were already on your way out. Did I tell you the story about how some little kids asked me for an autograph after hitting? That was funny! I signed their big tennis balls right next to Rafa, LOL!!!

HAHA, didn't think of that, next time, if there is one.
in case someone needs tennis related advise while in Vegas
I ended up checking multiple places:
- Green Valley ClubSport. Private facility with both indoor and outdoor courts. They charged me $15 (or was it $25) guest fee and that's all. I did not have anybody to hit with that day so i ended up on a court with tennis ball machine. Spent maybe 4 hours total in the club, I would have stayed even longer if I had a partner. Pretty good deal for $15 fee.
- Darling Tennis Center. Very nice public facility. 3 dollars gives you all day access. Kind of surprised there was no one to hit with. BUT i saw Steffi Graf practicing there with some college/futures player. It was awesome - them two hitting hard and me lone spectator at the stadium court.
- few public parks: there is plenty of those, almost all of them lighted, but the quality of lighting varied greatly. Overall pretty good - but again you need to come with pre-arranged partner.
Last but not least - I had a pleasure to hit with Rob_C from these boards. First class individual. i think we both had a pretty good time. Many thanks to Rob for being kind to respond to my post asking for a hitting partner.

Darling is about 15-20 mins away from the strip, depending on traffic.
