If you think you’ve seen everything Las Vegas nightlife has to offer, think again. The strip’s newest addition is taking “dinner and a show” and swapping it for something a little more competitive—and a lot more neon.
The massive new 2-story crazy-golf venue at the Mandalay Bay is already a visual stunning playground, but it hides a brilliant secret for music lovers: The Lighthouse Stage.
The Setup: Live Beats on the Green
Tucked directly inside one of the course holes, this hidden live-music corner completely flips the vibe of traditional mini-golf. Instead of cheesy background tracks, you get high-energy, live performances right next to the windmill hole while you putt.
Depending on which night you book your tee time, the soundtrack changes:
Fridays (8 PM–1 AM): A live DJ spinning chill house music to keep the weekend energy smooth and flowing.
Saturdays (8 PM–1 AM): Live musicians taking over, featuring acoustic singer-guitars or soulful sax sets that elevate the entire room.
The Cost & Vibe
The Price Tag: Mini-golf runs about $20–$25 per person. Drinks are standard Vegas resort prices, but the best part? The live music is completely free with your entry fee.
The Atmosphere: It’s brilliantly surreal. You haven’t truly experienced Vegas until you’re trying to line up a tricky bank shot while a DJ drops a remix of "Levitating" just a few feet away. It’s loud, it's lively, and easily one of the most delightfully random fun combos on the Strip right now.
Quick Tips for Your Visit
Book Later Tee Times: If you want to experience the Lighthouse Stage, make sure your booking falls within the 8 PM to 1 AM window on the weekend.
Grab a Drink First: The venue features excellent cocktail bars, so grab a drink to hold in your free hand before you head to the first tee.
