The room
Daylight closed and came back in May 2026 as Tailgate Beach Club — pool party meets sportsbook, with three heated pools, 125 feet of LED screens and cabanas with consoles. The right call for a football Sunday or a budget cabana, not for chasing a headliner.
Cabanas, daybeds & minimums
Daybed, cabana and bungalow minimums are set by the venue and move with the day — the DJ, the weekend, the weather, the position by the pool. Entry daybeds on an ordinary weekend sit in the low four figures; cabanas and bungalows on a headliner day are their own conversation. We don't print a number because it would be wrong by Friday. Text us the date and we quote the live minimum straight from the venue. You pay Tailgate Beach Club directly at Tailgate Beach Club's price — no booking fee, no markup, ever.

Questions people actually ask
Is Daylight Beach Club still open?
Daylight closed and reopened May 16, 2026 as Tailgate Beach Club, a year-round sports-themed dayclub at Mandalay Bay.
How much is a cabana at Tailgate?
Minimums move with the DJ, the day and the position. Entry daybeds on a standard weekend start in the low four figures; cabanas and bungalows on a headliner day run well above that. We quote the live number from the venue before you commit, and you pay Tailgate Beach Club directly at venue price — no booking fee.
What days is it open?
Thursday through Sunday, 11 AM to 6 PM, all year.
Is there a cover?
Usually free; $10–20 on holiday weekends and events.
What is the age requirement at Tailgate Beach Club?
21 and over, no exceptions, with a valid government-issued photo ID — a passport for international guests. That applies to every person in your group, at the table and at the door, pool included. Nobody under 21 gets in on a table booking.
What is the dress code at Tailgate Beach Club?
Pool attire: swimwear, cover-ups, sandals. Dressy swim looks are the norm at the cabanas — this is not a hotel pool. No street clothes on the deck, no jerseys, and the venue can turn away anything it decides is a costume. Bring a change of clothes if you're going straight to dinner or a nightclub after.
Which hotel is Tailgate Beach Club in?
Tailgate Beach Club is at Mandalay Bay. Tell us where you are staying when you text and we send the walk and the meet point.
Can we book a daybed or cabana at Tailgate Beach Club the same day?
Usually, yes. Text us before 6 PM and we can typically hold a daybed or cabana for that day if the venue has one open — prime cabanas go earlier in the week, so the earlier you text, the better the spot. Open days: Thu – Sun, 11 AM – 6 PM · year-round.
