About the Venue

About Tailgate Beach Club

Tailgate Beach Club debuted May 1, 2026 at Mandalay Bay with an official Vegas Golden Knights playoff watch party, followed by its grand opening on May 16 with Snoop Dogg headlining. The Las Vegas Strip's first sports-and-pool hybrid venue has 2,000 capacity, 25 cabanas, two premium bungalows, and 125+ feet of LED screens viewable from every pool position. Operated by Clique Hospitality and situated directly across from Allegiant Stadium, the venue runs Thursday through Sunday with three heated pools for year-round viewing of every NFL game, UFC fight, and major sporting event.

The vibe: Sports-meets-pool-party energy. A unique hybrid concept where you can watch every game on massive LED screens while lounging poolside with bottle service. More social and interactive than traditional dayclubs with gaming amenities in cabanas. Perfect for sports fans, bachelor parties, and groups who want entertainment beyond just music.

Tailgate Beach Club is the Las Vegas Strip's first dedicated sports-and-pool hybrid venue, and nothing else in the city offers this combination. The 125+ feet of LED screens visible from every pool position means you can watch any game — NFL, NBA, UFC, college football, March Madness, or international soccer — without missing a play while you're in the water. The three heated pools keep the venue operating year-round, and the Mandalay Bay location puts it at the quiet south end of the Strip where rideshare access is faster and cover charges tend to be more accessible than north-Strip venues. Cabanas at Tailgate come standard with gaming consoles, beer pong tables, and foosball, transforming VIP sections into private party zones rather than just shaded seating. Clique Hospitality's operational model means the entertainment programming is more diverse than traditional dayclubs — live sports broadcasts, themed sporting event watch parties, and DJ-driven pool party sessions exist as separate programming types depending on the day and what's on the calendar.

  • 125+ feet of LED screens for live sports viewing
  • Three heated pools — open year-round
  • Premium cabanas with video gaming consoles, beer pong, and foosball
  • Directly across from Allegiant Stadium
  • Live DJs and performances

Expert Advice

Insider Tips for Tailgate Beach Club

  • 01

    Grand opening is May 16, 2026 with Snoop Dogg headlining — opening weekend coincides with EDC Week (EDC festival May 15–17), so book tickets and cabanas well in advance; this will be one of the highest-demand pool party days of the year

  • 02

    Book a cabana for UFC fight nights — the combination of the fight on massive screens, bottle service, and poolside gaming turns Tailgate into an unbeatable watch party environment

  • 03

    The heated pools run year-round, making Tailgate one of only two pool venues in Las Vegas operating in winter alongside Stadium Swim downtown

  • 04

    Tailgate is at the south end of the Strip near Mandalay Bay — rideshare costs and wait times are lower than center-Strip venues on busy weekend afternoons

  • 05

Venue Guide

The 125-Foot LED Screen and How to Position Your Group for Game Days

The 125-plus-foot LED screen wall at Tailgate Beach Club runs as an uninterrupted horizontal display across the length of the venue, viewable from every position in all three pools simultaneously. Unlike Stadium Swim at Circa, which uses a single large screen positioned at one end of the pool complex, Tailgate's screen runs at a height and depth that provides direct sight lines from inside the water itself — guests in the pools watch without leaving the water, with the screen visible over the pool's edge without neck strain or angle compromise. For sports watch parties, positioning matters: the most direct sight lines are from the main pool section directly in front of the screen's center panel. Cabanas on the ground level are positioned at the optimal watching distance — close enough for detail but far enough that the full screen is visible without physical obstruction.

For groups that plan to spend most of their time in the water rather than in the cabana seating, the main pool's northern perimeter — the pool edge closest to the screen face — is the most efficient spot to claim within the first 20 minutes of arrival. The biggest-demand game days at Tailgate fall into three categories: NFL Sundays during the regular season (September through January), UFC main card fight nights, and March Madness weekends when multiple games run simultaneously. Vegas Golden Knights playoff games also drive above-average attendance given the proximity to T-Mobile Arena. On these dates, all 25 cabanas and both bungalows can reach sellout 24 to 72 hours in advance. Groups planning a visit around a specific game should book cabanas at least a week ahead for regular-season dates and two weeks ahead for playoff and title-fight dates.

The two premium bungalows at Tailgate are positioned for the best screen sight lines in the venue — the equivalent of courtside seats in a sports-viewing context. During NFL playoff weekends, Super Bowl, and March Madness final rounds, these bungalows operate at the same advance-booking urgency as nightclub tables on New Year's Eve. Tailgate Beach Club is the only Las Vegas pool venue where sports scheduling creates comparable demand pressure to DJ headliner nights at the major Strip dayclubs.

The 2026 Programming Calendar: Game Days, DJ Headliners, and How to Know What's On Before You Visit

Tailgate Beach Club opened May 1, 2026 with a Vegas Golden Knights playoff watch party, followed by the grand opening on May 16 with Snoop Dogg headlining. The May 16 opening date places Tailgate at the intersection of two major Las Vegas entertainment events: EDC Week (EDC festival runs May 15 to 17 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway) and the start of the summer pool party season. Groups in Las Vegas for EDC who want a daytime entertainment option before the festival each evening have Tailgate available from May 16 onward, operating Thursday through Sunday with programming that shifts between DJ events and sports broadcasts depending on what is on the sports calendar that week.

Tailgate's programming calendar operates on a hybrid model: some sessions are DJ-forward, with live performances dominating and sports as a secondary backdrop; other sessions are sports-first, with the DJ providing ambient music between game segments. The programming type for any given date is communicated through the venue's weekly schedule, available through the NoCoverVegas calendar and directly through Clique Hospitality's booking site. Checking the calendar before selecting a visit date is more important at Tailgate than at most dayclubs, because a Saturday with Snoop Dogg headlining and a Saturday with an NFL playoff game on the screens are substantially different experiences — both are legitimate, but the dominant entertainment form shapes the group dynamic significantly.

Groups who want maximum DJ production should target headliner-programmed Saturdays; groups who want a dedicated sports watch party should target the biggest game of each weekend. Clique Hospitality updates the calendar weekly. Signing up for the NoCoverVegas guest list at Tailgate provides access to date-specific event information as part of the confirmation message — you receive the date's programming details alongside your guest list confirmation, so you know exactly what to expect on your visit day.

Tailgate Beach Club vs Stadium Swim: Two Sports-Pool Concepts Compared

Tailgate Beach Club and Stadium Swim at Circa Resort & Casino are the two Las Vegas pool venues built primarily around sports viewing, but their design philosophies differ in ways that make each appropriate for different group types. Stadium Swim uses a single 143-foot screen — larger than Tailgate's 125-foot wall — positioned at one end of a 4,000-person capacity venue that prioritizes sports viewing over pool-party production. The audio system at Stadium Swim was engineered specifically for sports broadcast rather than DJ performance; sound quality for game-day coverage is measurably superior to any dayclub-format pool party. Tailgate's 125-foot screen runs across a longer surface at pool-level height, creating a panoramic viewing experience designed for guests in the water rather than from stadium-style seating above the pool.

The location difference is the most practical decision point: Tailgate is at Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip, accessible via rideshare from all Strip hotels and within walking distance of Allegiant Stadium. Stadium Swim is at Circa Resort & Casino in downtown Las Vegas, approximately 2 miles north of the Strip — a different part of the city that requires deliberate trip planning from Strip-based visitors. For groups staying on the Strip, Tailgate is the default sports-pool option without additional travel overhead. For groups staying downtown, or who specifically want the full Stadium Swim sports-immersion experience, Circa's property makes the ride worthwhile.

Both venues operate heated year-round pools, making them the two pool venues in Las Vegas viable for winter sports-viewing events — NFL playoffs through February, UFC title fights in any month, and championship events in every major American sport. Guest list access through NoCoverVegas eliminates the cover charge at Tailgate Beach Club. The guest list covers general admission entry; cabana and bungalow reservations require direct booking with Clique Hospitality for both standard and VIP sports-event dates. For groups whose primary Las Vegas activity is watching sports from a pool, the Tailgate guest list is the most efficient and most affordable way to experience the only sports-pool hybrid venue on the Las Vegas Strip.
