Grand Opening Party

The Strip’s most anticipated Las Vegas beach club debut hits Mandalay Bay on Saturday, May 16, and we’re kicking it off with an all-day lineup built for sports fans, fight fans, and music lovers. From NFL Draft buzz and NBA & NHL playoff action across more than 125 feet of LED screens, to a marquee Netflix MMA fight card, to a live Snoop Dogg performance closing out the night — this is the best pool party Las Vegas has on the calendar this summer. Tickets and cabanas are booking up fast.

An All-Day Lineup You Can’t Get Anywhere Else on the Strip

Grand Opening Party isn’t one event — it’s a full day of championship-caliber programming running from open to close. Whether you’re here to catch every shot of the NBA and NHL playoffs, watch the fight card, or close the night with West Coast anthems, you can do it all without leaving the pool deck.

NBA & NHL Playoff Watch Party

The 2026 postseason hits its biggest weekend yet, and Tailgate Beach Club is the best place to watch sports in Las Vegas while it happens. With more than 125 feet of LED screens creating a 360-degree viewing environment, three heated pools, and stadium-style sound, you won’t miss a single play. This is a true Vegas sports bar experience — just with poolside cocktails and a 2,000-person crowd that brings the energy of a sold-out arena.

Netflix MMA Fight Night Watch Party

The Netflix MMA card is one of the most-anticipated fight nights of 2026, and we’re airing it live across every screen. The lineup includes:

Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano
Nate Diaz vs. Mike Perry
Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira

Pull up early, lock in a cabana, and settle in for the kind of fight night atmosphere only Vegas can deliver.

Snoop Dogg Performing Live

To close out the Grand Opening Party, West Coast legend Snoop Dogg takes the stage for a live performance built for the Tailgate Beach Club crowd. Snoop lives at the intersection of music, sports, and pop culture — which makes him the perfect headliner to officially open the city’s first sports-driven pool club Las Vegas guests have been waiting for. Expect iconic anthems, crowd-driven energy, and a high-production performance staged just steps from Allegiant Stadium and T-Mobile Arena.

VIP Cabanas, Bungalows & Premium Bookings

This Grand Opening Party is shaping up to be one of the most in-demand Las Vegas pool party bookings of 2026, and availability is going quickly. Choose from general admission on the pool deck, one of 25 luxury cabanas with a dedicated 50– to 75-inch television, or one of two premium bungalows with full table service. Each option keeps your group comfortable, fed, and locked in on the action all day long.
