Sport Center of Las Vegas

This place was good and bad. I went to Las Vages with my son and we played baseball. We were very happy to go and the batting cages were almost perfect. This place was a little dirty, the nets were ripped, but they were over all prety good.
Here are some pros and cons:
·Close to strip
·Pitches close to little league
·Prices were too high
·Equipment broken
·Nice staff

This place is a dump. I have mainly used the batting cages here. You are lucky if there are 3 working machines. There are only 5 baseball machines I believe (two 80mph ones although speed is probably more around 70mph, one 70mph, one 60mph, one 50mph). They constantly run out of balls so if you do happen to get on a machine, you have to try and find someone to put more balls in. The machines are always pitching high as well.
The only good thing about these cages is the «field» you can hit on but it is in such terrible shape. The walls are falling apart and the MLB logos on the walls are hardly recognizable.
I have showed up here numerous times when they are closed and supposed to be open. Their hours posted are until 9 but they just close whenever they want. They usually try to blame it on the wind or weather, which is a joke.

I have also rented the daycare family room for a family event before. The room is large with many things to do. When I showed up to get the room ready about 10 minutes before my reservation time, they forgot the room was booked. Pretty ridiculous for the rate they charge to forget a party. So after the 15 minutes it took for them to unlock it and set it up, we were able to use it. They had an event this day as well and we constantly had people coming in trying to use the basketball court and bouncy house. They put a sign up that says private event but that was no help.
I am pretty sure it’s a family that runs this place and they have no idea what they are doing. All they care about is the large events they can book (basketball tournaments, gun shows, karate tournaments, etc.) and overcharging people on everything they can from concessions to batting cages.

Okay so I’m a college baseball player at the university here. Obviously, I have to practice quite a bit in batting and want to see my distance. I went here for the first time and loved it !! Everything was good some issues here and there until I met the biggest ass in the world who is in charge of the gun shown. He told me and my mom to walk outside and I ignored him and kept walking. He literally closed us up behind a gate like cattle and we fought for a little. I got my tokens went and batted and I finally asked for the managers information. Turns out, that small douche of a man is the managers brother !!! And she lets it get away without the owners knowing. Even the guys and girls over the counter told me «that’s her brother… He’s a dick but she won’t do anything and we can’t send out the owners information ». Their own employees know who the issue is and won’t fix it. Sadly, I have told all my college baseball players and any other team who comes and plays us never to come here because of the horrible experience !! I will continue to tell other college players about not going here. I ended up buying a net and placing a batting T is my garage and the T works wonders ! Also, saving up for a pitching machine to never have to come here. AVOID AT ALL COST. Literally, search bating cages and you will find better deals than this dump.

Very pricy and batting cages were broken. At the price 2.50 for 16 balls is ok if they work. 2 $ charge to rent a bat. I am surprised they did not charge for parking. This close to the season starting the cages should have been full. Only one college player was hitting. So it is the price or broken equipment is keeping away the crouds.

Definitely and under utilized establishment.
It was kinda creepy walking in because the place seemed closed, but rest assured they are open. Check the website for details.
We came for the batting cages and the go kart, but walking into the building, you can definitely see the potential for this to be a busy place. It should!
There is a full size basketball court, rock climing, a martial arts space, batting cages, RC tracks and the go kart race place.
The batting cage was 2 tokens ea ($ 2) for 14 balls and they have a variety of different types (softball, baseball, slow, faster pitces) another couple of dollars to rent a bat.
Someone needs to come here and make this place our Las Vegas youths can hang out in.

Stopped in on a Friday night with nothing to do (yes, in Vegas) and had a blast. $ 45 for two races is pretty standard, and these guys let you stay out there for quite a while. They’re good about not letting drivers who are being jerks (bumping, etc) get away with it, and the races flowed well and were a ton of fun.
The course is a bit narrow and passing is difficult but not impossible. There’s not much to do outside of racing, either.
I’ll defintiely be back.

I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years now and it’s always been ran by the same few people not sure if they are the owners or what. This place has SOOOOOO much potential if only the right people came in and renovated the place. it’s a shame to see what it has become. I remember when the replica outfield had graphics of Mark Maguire and other pro players. Now it’s nothing more than a rusted half torn down wall. The cages are cool sometimes they throw at your head but I prefer that because it keeps you on your toes to better simulate a real game environment haha. All in all don’t come here expecting anything special. Hopefully someday they will remodel the sports center.

My friends and I went rock climbing here and the guy who works there who is handling the ropes is taking personal calls while we are sitting there waiting for him. Then while I’m climbing the wall he’s on his phone texting! This is a serious hazard! I can’t believe he’s texting while handling my ropes. Whoever this young Mexican guy is, I’m not sure he should be handling the rock climbing ropes.

I only come here for the batting cages, I really like this place. Not too busy all the time. Just the right amount of people there. Love the open field u hit to. Makes you appreciate your good hits more when u can see how far u can hit. Great indoor basketball court (s) too.
My suggestion in the batting cages: bring your own helmet or do not use one. I wouldn’t trust those yellow helmets they have to go on my head.

I stopped by there today with my family do hit the batting cages. The facility opened at 12pm, when we arrived at 12:30pm, they were still opening up shop, bathrooms, cages, etc, therefore we had to wait almost another 30 minutes to start using the cages. The batting cage balls were way offline and hit me and my sister. The bathrooms were clean BUT I almost puked using them since they had a horrible stench. The whole placed had a horrible smell and all outside trash cans were completely full with trash all over the floor. $ 2.00 for 14 pitches was a ripoff when Big League Dreams Sports Park offers 20 pitches for $ 1.00…needless to say there is nothing inviting about this place… I won’t be back. It’s a shame that such a huge facility is a waste.

I come here for the batting cages. The center seems really old. Every time I come I here there is an awful smell. There is a climbing wall that doesn’t seem to get used. I see people here using the batting cages, basketball courts, and go karts.
I have only used the cages and used them 3 times.
The cages take tokens. They cost $ 2 each and you get about a dozen pitches. The machines aren’t as consistent as you may be used to. Some of the pitches are very low while some are high and out of the strike zone. Last week a few nearly hit me in the head.
There are a few softball cages fast and slow pitch. The other baseball cages start from 40 and go to 80 mph. These cages are outdoors. I come here because you can see where the balls go.
It make it more fun.

It’s a shame this place is always empty every time I go, it has some real potential.
The Good:
–No lines (clearly)
–Different activities to do
–Free parking
The Bad:
–Terrible service
–Always looks like its closed
–Over priced «snacks» but didn’t offer half of the things on the menu
The Aiiiiight:
–Rock climbing wall is cheap
–1 token at the batting cages gets you 14 pitches
–Bathrooms weren’t the cleanest, but not the worst

Take my kids here for the go karts they love the carts but other than that the people who work inside the other area are horrible and lazy!

This place is good to come by and hit a couple balls in the batting cages. $ 2 = 1 token. 1 token = 14 pitches. Go karts are adult fun size fun, fast good track. They do have a wall to mountain climb. Great place to kill time on boring Friday nights.

This is a great place to take in local WFTDA roller derby on Sundays. The «stadium» seating makes it easy to see all of the action, and the snacks available are pretty good for what they are.

Nearly every BJJ and submission grappling tournament held in this entire state takes place in the good ‘olé ‘Sports Center of Las Vegas’. Why not somewhere nicer? Don’t ask.
Good:
*Parking is free.
And that sums it up.
Bad:
*Lines of sight are absolute shit.
*Very few power outlets for charging electronics that will be in need of being charged when being at a day-​long tournament.
*Not enough restrooms. Not nearly enough. I do not want to get gross so I will leave it at that.
PRO TIP: Bring babywipes. Hover.
*Their recent (Spring 2013) policy obsession with enforcing/​trying to enforce no outside food/​drink. Look man, people are competing. You think they do not require special food or drinks? Your shitty food stand with inedible pizza and hotdogs and cornchips is not going to cut it. Get real.
PRO TIP: Bring in outside food and drink in a large closed bag, say like a gigantic zippered-​shut sports bag or military assault pack. They do not possess the time, manpower, or patience to go through any bags so they just turn you away if you have something in hand or in a shopping bag.
I will say that their property manager or whoever it was that was there on that day laying down the law did reasonably help me out during the Las Vegas Open. Extra star for that. — E

Had great fun at the batting cages with my wife and daughter. As Swedes we are not fed with baseball in the mother’s milk like the Americans are. We struggled to hit the baseball even at the slowest speed (40 mp/​h), but after like 100 attempts we started to figure it out how to hit the %#%&” ball.
A really great facility and a very helpful staff made this visit a pleasant one.

I went just for the batting cages. It is the only cages I have ever been to that has a wall you can attempt to hit over. A few of the cages were out of order, but since there weren’t any other people there, it didn’t matter to me. The reason for the 3 stars is that there weren’t enough balls in the machine and it ran out. There is an attendant, but he was busy talking to some guy in a parking lot.
The price is a bit high…14 pitches for $ 2, but since there aren’t too many cages in the LV area, I guess I will have to pay.

Over-​priced and under-​cared for, the Sport Center is a memorial to what could have been if Vegas residents used this place or if the owners took care of it. The building houses a Cross-​Fit gym, batting cages, climbing wall and basketball court. The basketball court is in great condition and is used for basketball camps. The climbing wall is decent, but there’s no marked climbs and the cost is pretty ridiculous ($ 8 a climb v. $ 10 a day in another climbing gym).
I went for the batting cages which have a great set up with a mock field and mock home run background. However, the machines are old and not maintained well (4 out of every 14 pitches are low or deeply inside). The batting cage cost is a little high too ($ 2 for 14 pitches). This place could be amazing with the fake field and wall, but the poorly maintained machines and bad pitching ruin the place.
All in all, this place is a monument to what could be an amazing local sports place/​community center. Instead, it’s just a rundown place with moments of genius.

I recently went to a concert held at the Sport Center.
We found plenty of parking when we came even though it was close to the concert time. As we entered the venue, I could immediately tell that this place was small.
There is a small entrance area where booths can be set up. From there, one can immediately walk straight and get inside the main area of the sport center. Across from the main area is some sort of playground or recreation area with fake trees. Right next to this were some old fooseball tables and a giant mickey mouse clock (hmm random but that was what was there). If you keep walking pass the recreation area, there will be restrooms to the left and a pizza area to the right. There are also mini rooms near the food area where the front acts were getting ready. (These mini rooms are a bit weird because it is only separated by a little gate and so people can totally see inside). The main stage was set up right in front of the pizza area.
As we entered the main area for the concert, I saw immediately that the place was small. It’s kind of like a high school gym. They had folks sitting up in bleacher style seats. Down at what I would call the court were folded chairs set up. Towards the back of the main area is a bar area (empty for this concert) and more restrooms.
All in all this place is no Staples Center. It’s really a small place for a concert venue and it’s really old style. I actually didn’t mind because it only meant there was no bad seat in the house since you could pretty much see the stage from wherever you sat.
On a last note, the sound system of this place was not the best. It was broken at times and there were technical difficulties early on.
Not the best place for a concert venue but the concert we went to was great so it worked out in the end. I’d rate this place between 2 – 3 stars. kina place.
