Saturday, May 16, 2026 — Tailgate Beach Club at Mandalay Bay
On Saturday night, Tailgate Beach Club officially threw open the gates at Mandalay Bay with a grand opening party headlined by a live performance from Snoop Dogg — and a guest list that played like a crossover episode between the NFL, the X Games and Love Island USA. A capacity crowd. A 145-foot LED screen. One brand-new category of Las Vegas dayclub. Here's the recap.
The Night Tailgate Officially Arrived
Soft opening was May 1. Grand opening was always going to be the moment. And Saturday delivered.
Located directly across from Allegiant Stadium on the south end of the Strip, Tailgate Beach Club is Las Vegas' new sports and pop culture dayclub — 50,000 square feet built around the idea that game day, fight night and finale night all belong on the same pool deck. Saturday was the city's first real look at what that actually means.
Snoop Dogg Headlines the Main Pool Deck
When Snoop hit the stage, the entire venue lit up. The 145-foot LED screen synced to the set. A capacity crowd packed the pool deck. And somewhere between the first verse and the encore, Tailgate stopped being a new venue and started being the venue.
A few moments that stood out:
- The crowd. Just the crowd. Capacity by 6pm. Cabanas booked solid. The kind of energy you usually only get for a championship game.
- The LED wall as a co-star. Every track, every drop, the screens reacted. The stadium-meets-dayclub thing isn't a tagline — it's the show.
- Bottle service presentations that hit different. The room paused for every one. Models, sparklers, the LED wall responding in real time. Sports-coded spectacle.
Who Showed Up
The grand opening pulled one of the strongest celebrity turnouts of any Las Vegas pool opening in recent memory.
San Francisco 49ers in attendance:
- George Kittle
- Nick Bosa
- Mac Jones
- Dominick Puni
- Demarcus Robinson
- Luke Gifford
- Jake Tonges
- Drake Nugent
- Ricky Pearsall
Other sports and culture guests:
- Tony Hawk — skateboarding legend
- Kyren Williams — Los Angeles Rams running back
Love Island USA cast across seasons:
- Daniela N. Ortiz Rivera
- Ciaran Davies
- Charlie Georgio
- Courtney "Coco" Watson
- Pepe Garcia
- …and more
The Birthday Surprise Heard 'Round the Pool Deck
In one of the day's most-photographed moments, Tailgate hosted surprise birthday celebrations for Tony Hawk and Claire Kittle — who, as it turns out, share the same birthday. Both got cakes onsite. Both got the LED wall treatment. Both got a capacity crowd singing along.
You can't script a moment like two birthdays in one night for a 49ers wife and the most famous skateboarder alive. But you can build a venue that's ready when it happens.
What Andy Said
"The idea behind Tailgate was simple: create a place where game day, music and Las Vegas daylife all live together. Seeing the venue full for the grand opening, with fans watching games and Snoop performing, was exactly the kind of experience we set out to build."
— Andy Masi, Founder, Clique Hospitality
What Was on Screen
Throughout the day, the LED wall ran a full slate of live programming — because the grand opening was always going to be about more than just the headliner.
- NBA Playoffs action across the screen array
- NHL Playoffs coverage
- Fight-night programming
- Snoop Dogg's live performance
- Athlete and celebrity appearances throughout the day
That's the model: a stadium-grade viewing experience layered on top of a full-throttle Las Vegas dayclub. Every weekend. Every season.
The Venue, By the Numbers
- 50,000 square feet of pool deck and event space
- Five resort-style pools
- 145-foot LED screen visible from anywhere on the property
- 22 cabanas with private TVs
- Two premium bungalows
- up to 1,800 guests
- Stadium-style viewing deck built for game day, fight night and major-event watch parties
- Directly across from Allegiant Stadium, steps from Michelob ULTRA Arena
Tailgate operates seasonally — from mid-March through Super Bowl Sunday — aligning the venue's calendar with the actual sports calendar, from March Madness through the NFL playoffs.
What's Next: Memorial Day Weekend
The launch momentum rolls straight into one of the biggest weekends of the Las Vegas calendar.
- Saturday, May 23 — Fat Joe performs live
- Sunday, May 24 — Perreoland brings Latin entertainment poolside
- Monday, May 25 — Memorial Day special opening, 11am–8pm
Three days. Live music. Latin entertainment. Poolside sports viewing. The signature stadium-style atmosphere that made Saturday what it was. If you missed the grand opening, this is your chance to make Memorial Day Weekend your first.
