Swingers Las Vegas, an indoor, adults-only golf experience, will open Nov. 8 in Mandalay Bay.
The 40,000-square-foot, three-level venue will have a theatrical flair and include four miniature golf courses, the Swingers Carnival arcade and several bars and eateries.
It will become the flagship of global entertainment brand Swingers. Its design, reminiscent of an English country estate, will be distinct from the company's other locations. Animated projection mapping on an English country house will change from day to night and with the seasons.
"As one of the world's premier entertainment destinations, Las Vegas is the perfect place for the next chapter of Swingers," co-CEO and co-founder Matt Grech-Smith said. "We believe life's most enjoyable moments are fueled by a blend of friendly competition, exceptional food and superb cocktails."
'Competitive socializing'
Founded in London, Swingers says it pioneered what it calls "competitive socializing" and promotes what the Brits call "crazy golf." DJs, street food and cocktails served by caddies on the course create a party atmosphere for the friendly competition.
"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," Grech-Smith said.
Custom created in London, the Clocktower, Hot Air Balloon, Carousel and the Meteorite courses will have moving obstacles such as windmills, waterwheels, carousels, jumps and loops to challenge minigolfers of all abilities.
The Sunken Garden area will have a parasol-covered cocktail lounge, DJ booth and two private rooms for parties and events. The Estate Bar, spanning the length of the venue, will have a vantage point to watch the action, sip cocktails and listen to the music.
Arcade fun
The Swingers Carnival, with its vintage decor and lights inspired by the belle epoque era of pre-World War I, will have 15 nostalgic games. They include Tons of Tickets, Whack-a-Mole, Spin & Win, Skee-Ball, Sink It, Hoops, Roll Down Add Up, Down the Clown and Claw games. Points earned during the games may be redeemed for prizes such as board games, tabletop sports, comic books, stuffed toys, Swingers' merchandise and shot glasses.
"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," said Travis Lunn, Mandalay Bay's president and COO. "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 has four locations: two in London; one in Washington; and one in New York. Other locations are set to open in Dubai this year and Boston in 2025.
Admission starts at $35 (plus tax and fees) and includes nine holes of golf. Food and drink packages start at $67 per person. Carnival pricing starts at $15 for 80 credits (or five games). Semiprivate rooms will also be available for parties and events.
All guests must be at least 21 years old. Golfers tee off every five minutes in groups of four, and a round takes 30 to 40 minutes. There's no time limit in the venue.
