The Red Rock Pro Open (previously known as the Lexus of Las Vegas Open and the Party Rock Open) is a tournament for professional female tennis players played on outdoor hard courts. The event is classified as a $50,000 ITF Women's Circuit tournament and also part of the USTA Pro Circuit calendar. It has been held in Las Vegas, United States, since 2009 and played at the Red Rock Country Club. It was previously played at the Darling Tennis Center, the former site of the ATP Tennis Channel Open. The tournament was founded by Tyler Weekes of Courtthink, LLC, who also serves as the co-tournament director along with Jordan Butler, a Las Vegas attorney and a WTA-certified player agent under his agency Agent Atleta.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CourtThink Brings Tennis to The Strip At The Cosmopolitan-Las Vegas )〕 In the summer of 2012, Weekes met Redfoo (aka Stefan Gordy) of the hit techno group LMFAO and gave him a tennis lesson at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Weekes expressed concern that his tournament was in need of a new title sponsor and soon after Redfoo agreed to have his Party Rock line of clothing become the new title sponsor of the event.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Musician Redfoo Backs USTA Pro Circuit's Party Rock Open )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LMFAO's Redfoo: Party rocking on the court )〕 The tournament featured a Cox Kids Day attended by more than 500 local Las Vegas children, as well as Redfoo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Redfoo at Party Rock Open tennis tournament )〕 The highlight of the tournament came on semifinal Saturday night when Redfoo participated in a flash mob and was joined by hundreds of kids on court before the evening session.
