Overview
- The club held its celebrity-backed grand opening on May 16, with a Snoop Dogg headline set and appearances by Tony Hawk, members of the San Francisco 49ers and other athletes.
- Tailgate Beach Club occupies about 50,000 square feet at Mandalay Bay and centers live sports viewing on more than 125 feet of LED screens, three heated pools and 25 luxury cabanas.
- Cabanas come with private 50- to 75-inch TVs and game-room amenities such as PlayStation consoles, beer pong and foosball, while DJs and scheduled programming aim to mix music with sports.
- Visitors can place bets from the pool area using the BetMGM app, offering mobile wagering without needing to enter the sportsbook on the casino floor.
- Operators are marketing the venue as a year-round pre-event base for concerts, fights and Raiders weekends, a move that fits Las Vegas’s broader push to host and monetize major sports tourism.
