Mandalay Bay Beach Las Vegas: Day Passes, Cabanas & What to Expect

Mandalay Bay Beach is the 11-acre pool complex behind Mandalay Bay at the south end of the Strip, built around a real sand beach with roughly 2,700 tons of imported sand. The centerpiece is a 1.6-million-gallon wave pool that pushes swells up to about six feet, alongside a quarter-mile lazy river and additional swimming pools.

The complex is family-friendly: the lazy river has no height limit, while the wave pool requires guests to be at least 48 inches tall. Loungers line the sand, with cabanas and daybeds available for rent, and food and drink service across the grounds. The same beach hosts concerts and events during the season.

Insider tip The wave pool has a 48-inch height minimum, but the lazy river has none, so it's the spot for families with smaller kids.
