Johnny Lane had a brilliant idea to put in a grass court during the week of Wimbledon. Because the court was reserved every day all day the club is likely to put one in for year round play. One catch, you must be a member!
Johnny Lane is a USTA-Nevada & Intermountain Lifetime achievment Award winner. This is among one of his best ideas.

We, who love the game of tennis, know that it is a lifetime sport and that we can still enjoy it in our teens all the way through life. Jim Roulias, Henderson, Nevada, has played tennis for 51 years and enjoyed every minute. Jim started playing tennis when he was twelve, fairly late for a junior. He played collegiate tennis at UNR for four years, 1964- 1968, in the old Far West Conference, Division II. He once competed against the legendary Art Larsen, when he played at California State Hayward, in 1967.

During the 1950's, the property now occupied by The Las Vegas Country Club was the site of a thoroughbred racetrack named Las Vegas Downs. When the racetrack went into bankruptcy, the property was purchased by an investor named Joe W. Brown.
Brown later sold it to Marvin Kratter of Nevada Equities who proceeded to build the country club. The golf course was completed in the fall of 1967, followed by the completion of the clubhouse in April of 1968. Mr. Kratter opened it under the name of The Las Vegas International Country Club and operated it as such until he sold it to a Strip hotel named the Bonanza. The club was renamed The Bonanza Country Club and Corral. In late 1970, it was sold to four partners of Realty Holdings (Moe Dalitz, Harry Lahr, Nate Adelson and Irwin Molasky) who renamed it The Las Vegas Country Club, and made it a private country club in July of 1971 eventually making the club a true equity membership Club that has operated as such to this date.
