LIGHT @ MANDALAY BAY

Light Nightclub at Mandalay Bay is about what you would expect from a joint effort between the Light Group and Cirque de Soleil. These two leaders in Las Vegas entertainment have come together to host a nightlife experience unlike any other in Sin City. Spending the night at Light is a full immersion in the whimsical world of Cirque surrounded by the high-energy atmosphere of a massive block party for the bold and the beautiful.

A talented cast of aerialists and theatrical performers complement the offerings of headlining DJs with innovative choreography that keeps the environment in constant motion. Visual elements utilize revolutionary video mapping technology to enhance the nonstop action going on in the DJ booth as well as on and above the dance floor.

This is a place where guests feel like they are part of the action instead of just observers. Cirque performers wearing elaborate custom costumes and make up use every inch of space in the venue to bring the entertainment as up close and personal as possible. Behind the DJ, Cirque performers cavort on a two-story tall acrowall.

Offering 38,000 square feet for guests to play in, Light is one of the largest clubs on the Strip. The dance floor is large compared to most and prime VIP seating is located along its perimeter. Unlike many party hot spots, the club provides plenty of space for general admission guests, including limited seating at tables scattered across the main floor. Still, paying the extra dollars for table service is the best way to get the most out of your evening’s entertainment. Expedited entrance to the club saves you from wasting time standing in long lines on the wrong side of the velvet rope and dedicated servers keep the cocktails flowing.

The DJ performs on a stage that sits adjacent to the dance floor and is large enough to accommodate imaginatively clad go go dancers and the occasional live musical performance. VIP tables are tiered offering guests unobstructed sightlines of the talent. The cover charge varies with special events and an upscale dress code is strictly enforced. The venue prohibits jeans with holes, chains and all types of athletic wear. Light Nightclub is easily accessible from Mandalay Bay’s West Valet station on Las Vegas Blvd S. Enter through the main casino entrance and take a left.
