LAS VEGAS, Nevada — When it comes to golf in Las Vegas, you may have heard that the PGA event in Summerlin lost its title sponsor when the Tampa-based Shriners said so long to the annual professional golfers event.
But this is Las Vegas where sports are not only competition but also an adult amusement.
Such is the case with golf in Vegas and the Strip, where Mandalay Bay hotel-casino welcomed the debut of a new 40,000-square-foot “adults-only crazy golf club” called Swingers Las Vegas.
It’s mini-golf meeting night life with cocktails and DJs enhancing every indoor putt in the English countryside motif setting. The Swingers concept was announced in July 2023.
At 1:07 PM, Swingers co-CEO/co-founder Jeremy Simmonds took the first putt stroke and by 3 PM Swingers was scheduled to swing open its doors.
Simmonds and fellow co-CEO/co-founder Matt Grech-Smith started the Swingers concept in London a decade ago before the duo opened locations in Washington, D.C. and New York. Two more are planned for Dubai in late 2024 and Boston in 2025.
Grech-Smith told LVSportsBiz.com that “tens of millions of dollars” were spent to transform the former night club into Swingers’s global flagship site. The concept’s biggest golf location took two years to build. It’s also in a good location near the Mandalay Bay parking garage entrance into the hotel-casino. Mandalay Bay reached out to Swingers about opening a location at that site.
A round of crazy golf starts at $35 per person and a variety of ticket packages are available for purchase that include cocktails, street food, crazy golf and reserved seating. Local pricing starts at $22.50 per round for walk-up play Sunday through Wednesday. There’s also an arcade with carnival pricing starting at $15 for 80 credits.
