Mandalay Bay Pool

Owned by MGM Resorts, Mandalay Bay is known for having one of the most impressive pools in all of Las Vegas. That’s because it’s so much more than just a pool!

The Mandalay Bay pool complex is filled with 2,700 tons of real sand and includes four pools, exclusive adults-only pool areas, a massive million-gallon wave pool, an incredible lazy river, and some of the best cabanas money can buy.

This world-famous playground on the beach is fun for all ages!

Mandalay Bay Pool Parties & Concerts

Mandalay Bay has an entire venue outside the pool complex called Daylight Beach Club. Daylight Beach Club is exactly what it sounds like – a club on a beach! With the main pool, two additional private pools for cabana guests, and a beachy cocktail menu, it’s no wonder Daylight Beach Club is a fan favorite among Mandalay Bay Resort guests.

Mandalay Bay Pool Parties & Concerts

The beach club is the hub of entertainment, pool parties, and live concerts at Mandalay Bay Beach. This club is only open to guests who are 21 or older. The Mandalay Bay Beach Club features twenty-three private cabanas, 25 banquettes, and 30 VIP day beds that provide access to private bathrooms, servers, and personal safes that are available to rent. 

Entrance to the Beach Club starts at around $30 for men and $20 for women. The hours of operation depend on what events are happening. Sometimes the fun keeps going until 2 in the morning! Daylight Beach Club truly is one of the best pools in all of Mandalay Beach. 

Mandalay Bay Wave Pool

One of the most impressive features at Mandalay Bay Beach is the massive 1.6 million gallon wave pool! This unique Mandalay Bay pool area isn’t for everyone, as it isn’t one of your typical swimming pools. The wave pool has waves reaching up to 6 feet high. Guests must be 48” to enter. Inner tubes are not allowed in the wave pool. 

Relax and ride tides as you enjoy the atmosphere of a sandy beach filled with palm trees. If you’re coming to Mandalay Beach in Las Vegas, you’ve got to try out the wave pool at least once!

Lazy River

The Mandalay Bay lazy river is quite impressive, stretching more than a quarter-mile! Ride down the lazy river to experience the height of aquatic relaxation in Las Vegas.

Guests can bring their inner tubes or purchase one at the pool complex. Tubes that are brought by guests have to be less than 48” and provide an unobstructed path to swim through for safety reasons. Inner tubes are only allowed in the lazy river.

Cabanas can be purchased that sit around the lazy river. These cabanas hold up to 6 people and boast a family-friendly environment. Each lazy river cabana includes a 42” LCD TV, a refrigerator stocked with drinks, a dining table, a ceiling fan, and plenty of seating.

Pool Passes

Guests who are staying at the Mandalay Bay Hotel have free access to the impressive 11 acres of Mandalay Bay beach. Non-guests can purchase pool passes to use the pool Monday-Thursday. 

Adult passes start at around $20, while a kids pass for children aged 4-16 costs less. Pool passes for Moorea Beach Club and Daylight Beach Club vary in price and availability for non-guests.

Moorea Beach Club

  1. Hi I’m going there at the start of February. Do you think they’ll by any chance have the lazy river and the wave pool open?

    1. Early February is still considered winter when it comes to Vegas pool season, so the lazy river and wave pool will still be closed. They typically open starting sometime in April.

        1. Most likely yes, but Mandalay Bay won’t share the exact date the beach is reopening until the time is closer, because it’s weather dependent. They typically reopen during the first two weeks in March though! In 2023 the pools reopened the weekend of March 10.

  2. I would like to go to the Moorea beach on Wednesday, September 13 for the day.
    I am not a guest at the hotel.
    What is the procedure?

    1. The easiest way to visit Moorea if you aren’t a hotel guest is by booking a poolside reservation for a lounge chair, daybed, or cabana. This will also make your pool day more comfortable!

  3. I am staying at a different non MGM resort, if I reserve a beach chair would the cost include the entrance fee?

    1. Pool hours and operations are subject to change, so Mandalay Bay doesn’t offer a detailed schedule of which pools will be open on specific dates.

  4. I am coming this weekend. We are 2 seniors and I was wondering which pool area you would suggest. Also, if the beach club is available, how much for a seating area for that area for two? We are looking primarily for Saturday, July 15. Thanks

    1. Hi Dee,
      I’d recommend the East or West Lagoon for a relaxing pool day. Moorea Beach Club is also a good option if the top-optional policy doesn’t deter you.

      A daybed rental is ideal for two people, but two lounge chairs may be a bit cheaper. Seating prices vary depending on the date you visit and what type of seating you choose to reserve.

  5. Do beach cabanas come with a set # of pool access for non-guests? Example, cabana for 12 has admission for 12?

    1. Yes, a cabana reservation includes pool access for the number of guests the cabana can accomodate. There are different sizes of cabanas to choose from, depending on your budget and how many people are in your group.

    1. Really? Low waves, the only reason my son wants to go is the waves? Is it not worth it to get a pool pass since we are staying at a different resort?

      1. It’s possible the wave pool was not functioning properly during Gabe’s visit. The resort still promises wave that are “up to 6 feet high”, according to their website.
