BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, announced a partnership with Tailgate Beach Club at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas’ newest sports and pop culture dayclub. Conceived by Clique Hospitality Group, the sports and pop culture poolside paradise will feature the BetMGM brand, enhancing the way fans experience live sports in a one-of-a-kind destination on the Las Vegas Strip.

As part of the collaboration, BetMGM will have a prominent presence throughout Tailgate Beach Club, including an on-site activation team to introduce new players to the BetMGM app, along with digital and static signage featuring live odds displays. The venue will serve as a gathering place for BetMGM players, with watch parties centered on marquee matchups and major sporting events. The activation builds on BetMGM’s broader presence across the Las Vegas Strip, which includes nine retail Sports Books at MGM Resorts properties.

“Tailgate Beach Club’s mission of blending the energy of Las Vegas dayclubs and sports into a signature venue goes straight to the heart of BetMGM’s DNA — creating legendary moments players can’t get anywhere else. This opportunity allows us to deliver incredible memories for fans, introduce our product to new audiences, and reinforce our Las Vegas roots,” said Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer at BetMGM.

Steps away from Allegiant Stadium, Tailgate Beach Club features heated pools, premium cabanas and more than 125 feet of LED screens to deliver a 360-degree viewing experience for up to 2000 guests. The venue combines live DJs, games, and a high-energy poolside atmosphere with game-day bites and beverages.

Tailgate Beach Club underscores Nevada’s central role in BetMGM’s strategy as the epicenter of its omnichannel advantage, uniting premier MGM Resorts destinations with a leading digital betting platform. Activating at a flagship Strip location where live entertainment and sports culture converge allows BetMGM to further strengthen its connection between in–venue experiences and online wagering.

“Tailgate Beach Club was built to bring that game day energy into a setting you can only find in Las Vegas. Partnering with BetMGM takes that experience to another level, giving fans more ways to engage with the action while enjoying the atmosphere, service and entertainment we’re creating at Tailgate,” said Andy Masi, Founder of Clique Hospitality.

BetMGM Brasil has appointed Fernando Vieira de Mello, a journalist with more than 30 years of experience across media, journalism and entertainment, to strengthen its government relations strategy in the country.

The hire comes as Brazil’s regulated betting market enters a phase of consolidation and maturity.

Vieira de Mello is widely recognised in Brazil’s communications market for his career at Grupo Globo, TV Bandeirantes, Rádio Bandeirantes and TV Cultura, where he held roles as reporter, anchor, journalism director and institutional relations executive.

Most recently, he served as director of institutional relations for São Paulo at Grupo Globo, building dialogue with market segments and regulatory bodies across the Brazilian ecosystem.

“Fernando brings a rare combination of experience in communications, management, institutional relations and a deep understanding of Brazil’s media ecosystem,” said Almir Ribeiro, CEO of BetMGM Brasil.

“His arrival further strengthens our long-term vision for the country.”

Vieira de Mello pointed to the scale of the opportunity ahead.

“Few sectors in Brazil will go through such an intense process of transformation and reputation building over the coming years as online betting.

BetMGM enters this moment with very solid attributes: an operation backed by two global groups of enormous credibility, exclusive focus on regulated markets and a clear long-term vision for Brazil.”

The appointment reflects BetMGM’s broader effort to deepen engagement with strategic stakeholders and advance its governance, responsibility and sustainable market-building agenda in Brazil.

BetMGM Brasil

Launched in January 2025, BetMGM Brasil is a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Grupo Globo. Headquartered in São Paulo, the company was among the first 14 operators to receive definitive authorisation to operate in Brazil’s regulated betting market.

Beyond Brazil, BetMGM offers online gaming and betting platforms in 29 regulated US states and across Europe.
