The Las Vegas Strip's First Sports Pool Club Is Opening at Mandalay Bay... And It Changes Everything
Las Vegas has no shortage of dayclubs. What the strip has never had, until now, is a place where sports fans can watch a game on a 125-foot LED screen while floating poolside in the Nevada sun. That changes Summer 2026, when Tailgate Beach Club opens at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
This isn't a sports bar with a pool. It's a sports pool club — a category that hasn't existed on the Strip before.
What is Tailgate Beach Club
Tailgate Beach Club is a 50,000-square-foot, fully reimagined venue built from the ground up around one idea: bringing the stadium experience to the pool deck. The space has been completely remodeled and redesigned to blend three things Las Vegas has never combined under one roof:
Stadium-scale sports viewing
Tailgate Beach Club is built around more than 125 feet of massive LED screens, creating a 360-degree sports viewing environment that puts every guest in the middle of the action. From NFL playoffs to UFC championship fights, the technology and layout are designed to make every watch party feel like a front-row seat.
Vegas dayclub energy
This is still Las Vegas — which means the energy, the music, and the atmosphere are dialed up to match. Stadium-style sound, crowd-driven programming, and high-energy DJ sets make Tailgate Beach Club as much a dayclub experience as it is a sports destination, all running simultaneously without one competing with the other.
Poolside hospitality and service
Guests can choose from general admission on the pool deck, a luxury cabana with a private dedicated television, or one of two premium bungalows with full table service. However you book it, the experience is built around keeping you comfortable, fed, and in your seat from the first whistle to the last.
Located at one of the most recognizable resorts on the Strip, and the home of the Las Vegas Aces, the venue can host up to 2,000 guests and is positioned at the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip — steps from Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders, and within easy reach of T-Mobile Arena and the Las Vegas Strip's rapidly expanding sports corridor.
A Sports Viewing Experience Unlike Anything on the Strip
125 Feet of LED Screens
At the center of the venue is a 360-degree sports viewing environment anchored by more than 125 feet of massive LED screens. Whether it's an NFL championship, an NBA Finals game, a major international soccer match, or a UFC fight, no seat in the house misses the action.
Private Cabanas and Bungalows with Dedicated TVs
For guests who want a more private experience, Tailgate Beach Club offers two bungalows and 25 luxury cabanas — each equipped with a dedicated 50- to 75-inch television — along with multiple lounge areas and viewing zones throughout the property. Groups can stake out a spot for a full day of sports, food, and celebration without ever losing sight of the game.
This is the kind of watch party Las Vegas has needed for a long time.
Game Day Food, Drinks, and Atmosphere
A Menu Built for Game Day
The game day experience at Tailgate Beach Club goes beyond the screens. The venue will feature a full-service culinary menu built around elevated versions of classic game day staples, alongside specialty cocktails and poolside beverage service designed to last from opening kickoff to the final whistle.
Stadium-style sound, crowd-driven programming, and high-energy music will recreate the atmosphere of a live sporting event — with the unmistakable flair of a Las Vegas dayclub layered on top.
More Than Sports — A Year-Round Event Destination
Tailgate Beach Club is built to flex. While major sports moments are the anchor programming, the venue is designed to host a full calendar of watch parties, social events, and cultural moments:
NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB Watch Parties
From opening weekend through championship Sunday, Tailgate Beach Club is the place Las Vegas sports fans gather. Every major professional league gets its moment on the screens — with the sound, the crowd energy, and the poolside setting to match the magnitude of the game.
International Tournaments and Global Sporting Events
The World Cup, the Olympics, Formula 1, international boxing — Las Vegas draws fans from around the world, and Tailgate Beach Club is built to host them. The 125-foot LED screen wall turns every global sporting moment into a communal experience unlike anything else on the Strip.
Reality TV Finales and Pop Culture Moments
Not every big night is a game. Season finales, award shows, and cultural events draw the same crowd energy as a championship — and Tailgate Beach Club's fully programmable screens mean the venue can turn on a dime for whatever the moment calls for.
Concerts and Strip-Adjacent Events
When a major artist hits Allegiant Stadium or T-Mobile Arena, the party doesn't stop at the venue doors. Tailgate Beach Club positions itself as the natural pre- and post-show destination — a place where the concert energy carries right into the pool deck.
Championship Weekends and Holiday Programming
Super Bowl weekend. March Madness. Memorial Day. Labor Day. Las Vegas already owns these weekends — Tailgate Beach Club gives sports fans a dedicated home base for all of them, with programming, specials, and atmosphere designed around the moment.
With capacity for 2,000 guests and direct proximity to Allegiant Stadium, Tailgate Beach Club is positioned to be the default gathering place for fans visiting Las Vegas for big events — before, during, and after the game.
Why Las Vegas Needed This
Las Vegas is no longer just an entertainment city — it's one of the fastest-growing sports cities in the world. The Raiders, the Golden Knights, the Aces, and a growing roster of major events have transformed the Strip into a legitimate sports destination. What the city lacked was a venue that captured that energy in a daylife setting.
Tailgate Beach Club fills that gap. It's where sports culture, poolside atmosphere, and social celebration come together — and with a prime location at Mandalay Bay, it's set up to become the first stop for fans on game day weekends and the last stop on nights worth remembering.
