Jay Gatsby had it all, or so it seemed. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s tragic Jazz Age figure had money, power, high-placed familiars and a Long Island estate, but the one thing that could have prevented his downfall eluded him: crazy golf. Had Gatsby provided his guests with mini golf courses as Swingers now does at Mandalay Bay, they might have all been too preoccupied to participate in Fitzgerald’s plot twists.
Swingers does bring period style to its 40,000 square feet of putting fun, with its 1920s English country house motif paying tribute to to both The Great Gatsby’s era and Swingers’ country of origin. The decades-old franchise started in London and applies the expertise it acquired adding locations in New York and Washington D.C. to its new, multilevel venue.
Projection mapping allows countryside scenery to change with the seasons. DJs provide music and caddies serve cocktails in what Swingers promises is “the ultimate house party.”
The latest offering from the masterminds at the Institute of Competitive Socializing includes the Swingers Carnival arcade, street food, mocktails and multiple private-party spaces with distinct design concepts. The courses are customizable, with 9-hole courses easily combined to create an 18-hole course. Putt play during a Vegas visit has never been as easy, accessible or visually impressive. –Matt Kelemen
