Race weekend, poolside
When Formula 1 takes over the Las Vegas Strip each November, the whole south end of the city becomes the paddock, and Tailgate Beach Club is right in the middle of it, inside Mandalay Bay. Spend race-weekend days poolside with five pools, 22 VIP cabanas, a full bar and wall-to-wall LED screens, then head out when the cars hit the Strip at night. It’s the open-air spot to soak up the weekend without fighting the crowds.
What race weekend at Tailgate looks like
- Race-weekend days: five pools and the south Strip scene by day, minutes from the circuit.
- Cabanas: 22 VIP cabanas as a home base for your crew between race-weekend plans.
- The race: the Grand Prix is a Saturday night race, so make Tailgate your daytime stop before it.
- On the screen: the weekend’s games on the wall during open hours; pick your game.
