BetMGM has partnered with Tailgate Beach Club, a new sports and pop culture dayclub at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip that opened May 16. The partnership gives BetMGM a major activation presence at a venue designed specifically around the sports viewing and betting experience, reinforcing the company’s position as the dominant sportsbook brand in Las Vegas during one of the busiest betting seasons of the year.
Tailgate Beach Club is a 50,000-square-foot venue developed by Clique Hospitality Group featuring three heated pools, more than 125 feet of LED screens, 25 luxury cabanas, and capacity for 2,000 guests. The venue sits steps from Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Las Vegas Raiders and a host site for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The grand opening featured a live performance by Snoop Dogg, drawing attention from across the entertainment and sports worlds.
BetMGM’s Activation at the Club
Under the partnership, BetMGM will maintain on-site staff to introduce guests to the BetMGM app, display live odds on digital and static signage throughout the venue, and host watch parties for major sporting events. The activation expands BetMGM’s existing footprint at MGM Resorts properties, where it already operates nine retail sportsbooks across the Las Vegas Strip.
“Tailgate Beach Club’s mission of blending the energy of Las Vegas dayclubs and sports into a signature venue goes straight to the heart of BetMGM’s DNA,” said Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer at BetMGM. “Activating at a flagship Strip location where live entertainment and sports culture converge allows BetMGM to further strengthen its connection between in-venue experiences and online wagering.” For anyone interested in the BetMGM promotions available on the app, this activation represents one of the more premium live environments the company has built for player acquisition.
Context and Significance
The Tailgate Beach Club partnership is part of a broader strategy BetMGM has pursued to deepen its connection between physical MGM Resorts destinations and its digital platform. Las Vegas draws millions of visitors annually for sports events, concerts, and conventions, and Tailgate Beach Club offers BetMGM a venue to capture sports fans in a leisure setting where downloading a sportsbook app is a natural part of the experience. With the FIFA World Cup beginning in June and multiple high-profile events already scheduled at Allegiant Stadium, the timing of this activation is well-positioned for maximum exposure.
