Tailgate Beach Club, a next-generation sports-driven dayclub experience at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, is set to open Saturday, May 16, introducing a bold new destination for fans looking to experience live sports, championship moments, and buzz-worthy events in a high-energy outdoor setting. Opening just in time for NBA and NHL playoff action, Tailgate Beach Club will give fans the perfect place on the Strip to catch some of the biggest games of the year. The grand opening will feature a special musical performance by none other than West Coast legend, Snoop Dogg.
Located steps from Allegiant Stadium, Tailgate Beach Club merges sports fandom with the immersive experience of a full-scale Las Vegas dayclub. The venue includes three heated pools for year-round viewing, a capacity of up to 2,000 guests, premium bungalows and cabanas, live DJ integration, and a crowd-driven poolside atmosphere built for fans who live for big moments, loud wins, and all-day energy.
Tailgate Beach Club will be the first sports focused dayclub of its kind on the Las Vegas Strip, open Thursday to Sunday from 11am to the final whistle, with extended hours for marquee games and major events. Designed by Celano Design Studio Co., the venue will feature over 125 feet of LED screens, creating an immersive 360-degree viewing experience visible from every vantage point, including the pools, cabanas, bungalows, and bar areas. Beyond the screens and poolside energy, the dayclub will also offer a playful social experience throughout the venue, including cabanas with PlayStations, beer pong, foosball, and ping pong. The dayclub’s tagline, “All In, All Day,” reflects its all-day approach to sports viewing and fan culture.
Built to match the venue’s high energy atmosphere, Tailgate’s food and beverage menu will feature crowd-pleasing game day favorites, shareable bites, refreshing specialty cocktails, and much more. Mouthwatering highlights include the Buffalo Chicken Tender Sandwich, Mini Philly Cheesesteaks, the MVP Slider Tray, and signature drinks like the Orange Crush, Cucumber Cooler, and Paloma Twist.
Tailgate Beach Club is brought to life by Clique Hospitality, the boutique hospitality company founded by industry innovator Andy Masi. Their properties include Easy’s Cocktail Lounge at ARIA Resort & Casino, as well as Clique Bar & Lounge and The Barbershop Cuts and Cocktails at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, along with Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge and Caspian’s Rock & Roe on the Las Vegas Strip. Across all their venues, Clique is known for creating elevated experiences that blend inventive cuisine, signature cocktails, and dynamic atmospheres that keep guests coming back. That same creativity, expertise, and flair now drive the Tailgate experience.
“Tailgate Beach Club is built for fans who want to feel every big moment together, whether it’s a championship game, mega title fight, or a must watch reality TV finale,” said Andy Masi, Founder of Clique Hospitality. “We created a venue where sports energy and shared fan culture come together in a way that feels uniquely Las Vegas. We want every guest to feel like they have a front row seat to the action.”
While Tailgate Beach Club is built around sports, the venue will also host select watch parties for major reality TV finales, trending events, breakout streaming hits, and other high interest pop culture moments, expanding the experience to all types of fans.
Located next to Mandalay Bay Beach, this launch marks yet another collaboration between Clique Hospitality and MGM Resorts. Building on a successful partnership that has brought several standout food, beverage, and nightlife concepts to the resorts, the new venue continues the two companies’ shared vision of delivering dynamic, high-energy experiences that reflect the evolving entertainment landscape of Las Vegas. Tailgate Beach Club will also feature a strong partnership with BetMGM, serving as the headquarters for BetMGM users with hosted viewing parties and exclusive in-app rewards designed to enhance the game day experience on the property.
“Tailgate Beach Club is an exciting addition to Mandalay Bay and another way we continue to evolve our guests’ resort experience,” said Ben Kott, Mandalay Bay’s Senior Vice President and General Manager. “This concept blends the excitement of live sporting events with the atmosphere of a Las Vegas dayclub, delivering a unique way for fans to gather, celebrate and experience the energy of The Strip.”
