If you partied at Daylight Beach Club in past seasons then you know where this new dayclub resides, but don’t expect the old decor, vibes and programming. While the physical space is the same, the dayclub went through a complete renovation and put sports front and center. Welcome to Tailgate Beach Club, one of the city’s newest dayclubs and hot spot for all things sports from March Madness to Super Bowl Sunday.
Fans now have a Strip hot spot to chill poolside while cheering on their fave team—Tailgate Beach Club was built around optimal viewing of any game, be it soccer, football, basketball or golf. Across the 50,000 square feet of pool deck, more than 125 feet of LED screens fill the space, allowing for prime views no matter where you’re chilling. One giant pool sits in the middle of all the action and faces a huge stage, built for live performances throughout the summer.
Two premium bungalows with their own private dipping pools are some of the biggest at any pool club and are situated on an elevated platform allowing for great views of the entire dayclub. More than two dozen luxury cabanas and tons of daybeds with umbrellas for shade round out the rest of the options.

Opened in early May, sports stars and reality TV favorites turned out to celebrate Tailgate Beach Club including pro skater Tony Hawk, San Francisco 49ers players like George Kittle and Nick Bosa, and Los Angeles Rams player Kyren Williams, as well as the cast of Love Island.
“The idea behind Tailgate was simple: create a place where game day, music and Las Vegas daylife all live together,” Andy Masi, founder of Clique Hospitality, said in a release. “Seeing the venue full for the grand opening, with fans watching games and Snoop performing, was exactly the kind of experience we set out to build.” Yup, you read that right, the iconic Snoop Dogg put on a special performance for fans in honor of the newly opened dayclub. Tailgate Beach Club will continue to be a summer magnet for top sports players, live musical performances and watch parties for the FIFA World Cup, golf’s U.S. Open, NBA Finals, fantasy football draft parties and more.
Fueling all the fun is Tailgate’s elevated food and beverage program. The food follows the fun of game-day eats like Tailgate nachos, stadium chicken wings, ballpark dogs, mini Philly cheesesteaks and flame-grilled sliders. If you’ve got a big group, dig into the party platters like the Locker Room Spread, with quesadillas, wings, mozzarella sticks and coconut shrimp, or the End Zone Wing Spread, with chicken wings in Buffalo-style, honey barbecue and Thai chili.
More than a dozen specialty cocktails add to a menu packed with frozen cocktails, beers, margaritas, mules, seltzers, bottle service, champagne, wines and nonalcoholic options. Cool off with some of our favorite specialty cocktails like the Iced Americano with Tito’s Handmade vodka, Kahlúa and espresso, the Peach Iced Tea with Belvedere vodka, peach nectar, agave nectar and fresh-brewed iced tea, and the Sparkling Watermelon with Absolut watermelon vodka, fresh watermelon juice, fresh lemon juice, chopped watermelon and sparkling water.
