By the end of that year the Tennis Channel bought the rights to the event and moved it to Las Vegas where it was branded as the Tennis Channel Open in 2006 its sponsored name. The move to Las Vegas was to bring a top-level tour event back to the city to fill the gap left by the Alan King Tennis Classic that ended in 1985.
