Swingers Has Some of the Best Pizza On The Strip and Nobody’s Talking About It

Las Vegas Things to Do in Las Vegas

Swingers, an adult minigolf attraction, has opened at Mandalay Bay.

A lot of attention has been given to the minigolf (yawn), but it’s really all about the pizza.

And the drinks. And possibly the adult arcade or whatever. But mostly it’s about the pizza.

Your taste buds are going to want to high five you. Don’t do that, it’s unsanitary.

One of the weirdest things about the Las Vegas Strip is how meh the pizza options are.

All the best pizza in Las Vegas is downtown for some reason. Pizza Rock, Evel Pie, Pop-Up Pizza, Project BBQ (officially, “flatbread”), the usual suspects.

On The Strip? Secret Pizza? It’s fine if you’re drunk. Parry’s Pizza? Possibly the worst in town, other than Giordano’s, an abomination. Still not as horrific as Prince Street Pizza at Durango casino, but all fairly forgettable.

Happy Camper at Forum Shops is excellent, however.

Superfrico’s pizza is awesome at Cosmo.

Still, slim pickings.

Which is why we’re so happy to report the pizza at Swingers is unexpected and supremely satisfying.

Our only suggestion would be the addition of a diving board.

The frico-crusted, Detroit-style pizza at Swingers comes from Emmy Squared Pizza.

Here’s a blurb about Emmy Squared from the company’s Web site: “With our first location in Williamsburg Brooklyn in 2016, Emmy Squared Pizza is part of the Pizza Loves Emily family of restaurants, co-founded by Emily Hyland and executive chef Matthew Hyland, with partners Howard Greenstone and Ken Levitan. Offering quality ingredients and deliciously unique toppings, our signature Detroit-style pizza is marked by its square shape, crispy bottom, fluffy dough, cheesy ‘frico’ crust, and signature sauce stripes.”

“Emmy” refers to Emily Hyland.

Emmy Squared has 24 locations across the country, but the pizza at Swingers is the best because it’s in Las Vegas, obviously.

Here’s the menu.

Our soda was an uncomfortable $8. Again, it’s a lounge with golf.

Swingers opened at Mandalay Bay on November 8, 2024.

The massive venue is beautiful and impressive. It’s sort of another one of those lounges that gives people something to do so they don’t have to be interesting. Like darts or adult games or bowling or Grammable illusions or golf. They all use the term “immersive” a lot in their news releases.

The four courses are themed: Clocktower, Hot Air Balloon, Carousel and Meteorite.

Here’s a look inside Swingers, set against what we are convinced will be a song soon to top the charts.

It’s a collaboration between us and A.I., and while it’s hard to make out, the key lyrics include: “It cost $50 million to build this place; all for you to get shitfaced. Swingers really is no joke; see the prices, don’t have a stroke.”


Because, see, a “stroke” is a golf term which can also be a physical reaction to something, when blood flow to the brain is disrupted. Good luck finding this kind of useless crap in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Once “It’s Not That Kind of Swinging” breaks through, we can finally quit blogging and start getting some festival and nightclub gigs along with the groupies we so richly deserve. You knew us when!

Swingers is a great spot for chillaxing, an activity that was popular with the youths for several years before people started Netflix and chilling, which was a lot more fun.

Beyond the aforementioned four golf courses, Swingers boasts multiple bars and places to grab food. You don’t have to pay to get in for the drinks and food, even if you’re not interested in playing golf.

Golf is $30 (weekdays) or $35 (weekends). Book a tee time on the official site.

There’s also a midway (sorry, “funfair”) which has things like Skee-Ball, Whac-A-Mole and other classic carnival games. But with food and booze. Here’s more.

What? We’re just sharing a photo of one of the arcade games.

A big plus for Swingers: It’s 21-and-older only.

You can read more about Swingers in the official news release.

Swingers has had some drama, unreported elsewhere, but that’s just how we roll.

We enjoyed our visit to Swingers immensely.

The vibe is chill, as your fellow youths say. There’s a lot to do, and if you don’t want to do anything, there’s that, too.

We ate, we bounced.

Swingers is located just inside Mandalay Bay as you enter from the self-parking garage, in the former Light nightclub space.

Light nightclub was 38,000 square feet. Swingers is 40,000 square feet. Light was in the pool.

Given how good the pizza is, we look forward to making our way through the rest of the menu.

If you found this story by Googling “swingers in Las Vegas,” you may want to try Green Door or The Red Rooster. Allegedly.
