It’s par-tee time in Las Vegas. Swingers Las Vegas – the adults-only crazy golf club and high-end entertainment experience – will open its flagship location at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on November 8, 2024.
Marking the largest venue for the global entertainment brand and becoming its flagship, the 40,000-square-foot destination will include four crazy golf courses, multiple bars and eateries, the Swingers Carnival arcade concept and introduce a new design, distinct from other locations worldwide: an English country estate complete with an impressive English country house. As guests enjoy the venue, the country house will come alive with double-height, animated projection mapping that changes from day to night and with the seasons, transporting guests to the bucolic English countryside.
“As one of the world’s premier entertainment destinations, Las Vegas is the perfect place for the next chapter of Swingers,” said Co-CEO and Co-founder Matt Grech-Smith in a statement. “We believe life’s most enjoyable moments are fueled by a blend of friendly competition, exceptional food and superb cocktails. Swingers will bring this unique mix to the Strip with our whimsical golf courses, Swingers Carnival, vibrant bars and electric party scene. In true Vegas style, our flagship location will be grander and more thrilling than ever.”
Founded in London by Grech-Smith and co-CEO Jeremy Simmonds, Swingers pioneered what is termed ‘competitive socialising’ and the renaissance of what the Brits call “crazy golf” – by taking the classic game of mini golf and reinventing it for a 21-and-over audience with DJs, street food and great cocktails served by caddies on the course.
Located only steps away from the Mandalay Bay parking garage entrance, highlights of Swingers Las Vegas include:
- Crazy Golf Courses – The Las Vegas location will house four crazy golf courses across three boldly designed floors, each featuring their own unique layout. Custom created in London, these include the Clocktower and the Hot Air Balloon courses – located in the heart of the venue – and the Carousel and the Meteorite courses on the upper levels. All of Swingers’ courses include exciting and challenging obstacles including moving installations (such as windmills, waterwheels and carousels), and jumps and loops to challenge crazy golfers of all abilities.
- Caddies with Cocktails – Crazy golfers looking to quench their thirst can order anything from wine and beer to craft cocktails with premium spirits from caddies going hole to hole.
- Bars and Beats – On the main level, Swingers’ Sunken Garden area will feature a parasol-covered cocktail lounge, DJ booth and two private rooms for parties and events. Steps away, the Estate Bar will span the length of the venue, offering the perfect vantage point to watch the crazy golf action, sip on craft cocktails, and enjoy tunes from Swingers’ DJ booth. Guests on upper levels can head to The Clubhouse split-level cocktail bar and the elevated Carousel Lounge for drinks in between rounds.
- Street Food Eats – Swingers Las Vegas will debut a new street food restaurateur where hungry guests can grab a bite while relaxing in between rounds.
- Swingers Carnival – Guests can test their luck in a variety of old-school games and sideshows within the Swingers Carnival. Inspired by a bygone era and the grandeur of the Belle Epoque, the space will be decked out in vintage décor, vibrant lights and the nostalgic charm of traditional games designed to spark joy, and of course, friendly competition. Points can be earned at the Swingers Carnival and used to redeem an array of prizes that will take guests back to their childhood.
- New Vegas Nightlife – Guests can swap the nightclub for a golf club at this new alternative to Vegas nightlife, where live DJs will turn up the heat for crazy golfers during their experience.
Travis Lunn, Mandalay Bay’s President & COO, said, “The opening of Swingers Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay marks an exciting milestone as we continue to roll out a new wave of engaging and interactive entertainment offerings. The venue will bring together sports, entertainment and food and beverage, providing visitors from around the globe the opportunity to enjoy a fun, innovative and robust experience found nowhere else along The Strip.”
Swingers debuted in 2014 and currently operates four locations: two in London, UK; one in Washington, D.C.; and one in New York City with forthcoming locations in Dubai (opening fall 2024) and Boston (2025). Additional details on Swingers Las Vegas will be shared in the coming months.
