Daylight @ Mandalay Bay

[kazflair]

To all Wet veterans - How much do you think the opening of Daylight will impact the summer crowd at Wet?

Obviously there will be some dipoff in the opening few months of Daylight since it's close by and people will definitely want to check out something new... But are you expecting the usual summer crowd at Wet?

It remains my favorite spot for a day scene and I hope it stays that way!

While there might be some impact due to location being the closest to Daylight, but I think that Wet this year will actually be rejuvenated compared to last year thanks to the new tie-in with Hakkasan and their DJ Line-Up doing the day parties at Wet.

All of the Big Pools will be hurt by Daylight. Every one has been there done that at all of the other pools. I think you will see the impact on Fridays & Sundays. Not necessarily on Saturdays as much. I think it will be more reflected in the mins vs the number of people in the venues (lower mins at some of the larger older pools). I believe 1/3 of Vegas visitors are from Cali (1/4 So Cal) and a lot have been everywhere muliple times, that means a lot of these trips will be about seeing the new spots, clubs and pools. For instance, XS / Marquee and the other new clubs didn't kill Pure.. It's still busy on Saturday/ ratio-talent not not the greatest, but I can go to Pure now and get two bottles for $475 or whatever ON Saturday (that wasn't going down back in the day). Same effect for pools.

I completely agree with your analysis here. More competition within the market should hopefully help the LV consumer. How about the net effect on nightlife and what's the likelihood we could potentially see lower minimums with the additions of Light and Hak?

Glad EBC, Marquee and all other beach clubs will have some competition. Will definitely be waiting for daybed and cabana pricing because I will be here on MDW.

Hanging onto my seat for that lineup.
I think regardless we will be going to Daylight opening day, who can refuse a pool party on opening day? :P

I was thinking the same thing but the whole opening day kinks in the chain so to say would concern me
I wouldn't want to be stuck in line for hours because its a mad house the first day
I def want to check it out one of the 4 days I'm in Vegas though

I've thrown a lotta parties in my day and once you get the basics down you can scale it as needed. Make sure lines (booze/bathroom) are short, drinks are reasonable (relative) and plentiful, crowd ratios are good, and entertainment/venue is ready. Outside that everything else is noise.

No way MB is flying blind on this. I can guarantee you they've either brought in someone with experience with day clubs, or their current staff was comfortable enough having hosted the other big events at the property in the past. I'd be amazed if there were any hiccups noticeable to the customer.

We'll see though I guess. ha!

Noah - Any info on pricing yet? Plannin a trip out July-August and curious what pricing would be for a cabana or bungalow. Any info appreciated!

I've been told that the pricing will not be available till the end of the month at the earliest. Hope that helps.

We're still waiting sadly enough. It's a safe bet my estimated similar pricing to Marquee/XS is still accurate though. expect $3k-$15k depending on preferred location. Also, note that there's only roughly 90 tables and everything i indoors and has a view of the DJ.

About on avg how many tables are there at the xs/marquee/tao/ect?

Hey Noah! Any confirmation on these prices? Also, you mention bungalow, will that be similar to MDC's bungalow with in and outs for both day and night?

2500-4k cabana (depending on size and amenities and location), 5k-6k+ bungalow is a solid guess.
