Where it stands

The courts were under construction and described as coming along nicely by Mayor Shelley Berkley on July 3, 2026, with opening in early 2027 (FOX5 Vegas).

The project is 24 lighted, fenced courts at 735 W. Alexander Road costing more than $12M, funded through the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act, and takes the city from 35 to 59 public courts (City of Las Vegas). A ceremonial groundbreaking was held January 8, 2026 (Yahoo Sports).

Approvals and public record

The project is funded through the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act; no case numbers were confirmed in the sources we have (City of Las Vegas).

What is not known

The contractor has not been named publicly and no exact 2027 opening date is set (FOX5 Vegas). The project is funded through SNPLMA rather than a local entitlement action, so there is no case number in the sources we have.

Why it matters

Twenty-four courts nearly double the city's public inventory in one project, which is a rare step change for a parks system that adds capacity in small increments. The funding source also matters: federal land-sale proceeds rather than city general funds paid for it.
