Plaza Hotel & Casino, located in downtown Las Vegas, will play host to the USA Pickleball Golden Ticket tournaments in February, where participants compete to secure priority registration to the Nationals stage.
“We’re excited to bring the Golden Ticket back to Las Vegas and to do it at the Plaza Hotel and Casino, with an expected 500+ athletes,” USA Pickleball CMO Jose Moreno said.
“This venue allows us to deliver an extraordinary athlete experience, from professional operations to the energy that makes Las Vegas such a special host city. Golden Ticket tournaments are a vital part of The Path to Nationals, and Las Vegas is the perfect place for players to test themselves, earn their way forward and compete among the best in the country.”
The USA Pickleball Golden Ticket event will take place from February 18-22, serving as official qualifying tournaments for the USA Pickleball National Championships. Plaza Hotel & Casino will offer discounted hotel rates for tournament participants, but rooms must be booked no later than February 2.
“With the most pickleball courts of any resort, the Plaza has become the premier destination for pickleball in Las Vegas,” Plaza Hotel & Casino CEO Jonathan Jossel said.
“We are excited to host this prestigious tournament and welcome the top USA Pickleball players from across the country to the Plaza. This event will be one not to miss with exciting, competitive matches played on our courts that offer unforgettable views of the Las Vegas valley.”
Participants will also earn points as part of USA Pickleball’s tiered point system, which helps athletes track their progress and competitively advance through the rankings.
The Plaza Hotel & Casino announced it would be offering special pickleball deals throughout the month of September 2025 for Southern Nevada residents
