You can never have too much golf, apparently.<\/p>\n

Swingers Las Vegas, a new golf-themed lounge and restaurant at Mandalay Bay, has set an opening date: November 8, 2024. That\u2019s the news. All of it.<\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s a slow news day.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Swingers updated its rendering. We blame us.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Swingers will cost $50 million and encompass 40,000-square-feet with multiple bars, minigolf, food and something called the \u201cSwingers Arcade.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which we\u2019re pretty sure is going to lead to a lot of disappointment in the swingers community.<\/p>\n

The new venue will be inspired by an English country estate, although nobody\u2019s really sure why.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We\u2019ll take a wild guess. Swingers was founded in London. Which, we understand, is in England.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The news release does say, \u201cAs 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 and setting the scene for the ultimate house party.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBucolic\u201d? Why bring up a plague, or possibly babies crying? Weird marketing.<\/p>\n

\"\"

According to the official announcement of the opening date, Swingers Las Vegas will feature: \u201cCrazy Golf Courses\u201d (four golf courses across three floors, each featuring its own layout), \u201cCaddies with Cocktails\u201d (guest can purchase drinks from caddies going hole to hole), \u201cBars and Beats\u201d (Swingers\u2019 Sunken Garden, main level; Estate Bar will span the length of the venue; The Clubhouse, upper level), \u201cStreet Food Eats\u201d (food), \u201cSwingers Carnival\u201d (old-school games, points can be earned at the Swingers Carnival and used to redeem an array of prizes that will take guests back to their childhood) and \u201cNew Vegas Nightlife\u201d (DJs).<\/p>\n

Swingers is described as being \u201clocated only steps away from the Mandalay Bay parking garage entrance.\u201d That\u2019s the former Light nightclub space. You can see S Bar in the background.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the official Swingers site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Because this story doesn\u2019t feel enough about us, here\u2019s the previous version of the Swingers.<\/p>\n

\"\"
It\u2019s like one of those puzzles where you have to tell the difference between two images. We\u2019ll wait.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In our original story about Swingers, we pointed out some nuances in the rendering. To the credit of Swingers, they appear to have adjusted the rendering accordingly.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We don\u2019t make things awkward, we are just obligated to point them out when they are. Thanks for reading our blog, Swingers, and\/or your P.R agency.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Opportunities to smack balls abound in Las Vegas. There\u2019s the O.G. Topgolf near MGM Grand, Atomic Golf at Strat and PopStroke at Town Square, a mall five minutes south of the Las Vegas sign.<\/p>\n

We were going to predict tough times for Swingers, given the over-abundance of \u201cinteractive, immersive, competitive socializing\u201d offerings in Las Vegas at the moment, but our crystal ball has been off ever since Play Playground opened at Luxor and made us look like a clueless idiot.<\/p>\n

Companies with deep pockets continue to take big swings with venues like Atomic Golf. That complex at Strat cost $75 million to build.<\/p>\n

These venues aren\u2019t really about sports. They\u2019re lounges and restaurants with sports activities to give people something to do and talk about.<\/p>\n

You can throw darts at Flight Club at Venetian or throw axes at places like Axehole at Neonopolis and Dueling Axes at Area 15.<\/p>\n

That was a shorter list than we thought it would be, but we\u2019re exhausted from padding this story and don\u2019t have the time or energy to Google anything. You get the idea.<\/p>\n

Longtime Vegas obsessives will recall there was a short-lived (it survived about a year) Swingers Club at Plaza back in 2011. That was the brainchild of Anthony Cools, a comedy-hypnotist who now seems to be enjoying retirement. Swingers Club became the similarly short-lived The Drink. Plaza\u2019s Sand Dollar has fared much better without golf, but it does have pool tables.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Minigolf is a tried-and-true way to spend an evening without breaking the bank, along with not having to be interesting or a good conversationalist.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fascinating such venues are opening in and near casinos, as back in the day, casinos did everything they could to avoid customers doing anything but gamble. That\u2019s why Las Vegas shows are shorter than other places. Shows can actually be penalized for running long, as it keeps gamblers away from the tables and machines.<\/p>\n

Today, casinos are very interested in margins and monetizing idle spaces, and rent for a venue like Swingers is substantial. Attractions can draw bodies to a resort, some of whom might not have visited otherwise. Such attractions also appeal to a younger customer demographic, something casinos are very interested in given their core customer base is aging and dying off. Sorry, maturing and dwindling in size. It\u2019s the circle of life!<\/p>\n

We are not really a golf (or socializing) person, but we love TopGolf and Atomic Golf, so we\u2019ll definitely give Swingers a go. There\u2019s something for everyone in Las Vegas, and if you can\u2019t beat \u2019em, you may as well join the club.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
