Sports fans in Las Vegas face a special dilemma around this time. With the NBA and NHL playoffs heating up, the FIFA World Cup around the corner and Wimbledon on the horizon, how does one choose between the game and the dayclub during an action-packed summer? Enter Tailgate Beach Club, a new sports-themed oasis at Mandalay Bay bringing the stadium experience to you.

After 10-plus years as the famed Daylight, Tailgate Beach Club emerges as Clique Hospitality’s newest concept geared toward sports fans looking to take their viewing habits poolside. Craig O’Keefe, chief operating officer at Clique, says the decision to retire Daylight stemmed from a desire to do something different in a scene that’s already oversaturated.
