| - Daylight is located way at the end of a long, empty hallway of Mandalay Bay. Like, so far out of the way that I honestly thought we were pretty much leaving the resort.
When we got to the club, we were told by the guy at the front that the guest list had been closed. He didn't elaborate. Confused, we were trying to figure out if that meant that they weren't letting anyone in anymore, or if they were at capacity or what. We start to walk away (we're a group of about 10-14) before he calls out, "There's only like 20 people inside. There's no guest list because it's totally dead."
Well. Should've elaborated.
Unfortunately, due to last minute changes and decisions, Boyfriend hadn't thought to bring shorts/swim trunks, so he was in jeans and they wouldn't let him in due to strict dress code. Which is a little ridiculous, considering the fact that they had ALMOST NO ONE inside. I'm a little annoyed because they lost out on a potential paying customer. I understand that you want to enforce your dress code and not set a precedent of allowing jeans and such inside. But seriously. The amount of people in there was MINIMAL (see my photo for reference). I doubt one guy in jeans would hurt anything. But I digress.
The layout of the club is pretty neat. I loved all the couches and lounge-chair-type things scattered everywhere. Not a lot of shade available though, since all the umbrellas were closed up tight. Oh, and no towels were provided because there weren't enough people to warrant them being put out apparently. Not that I went in the water anyway. And the open bar that had been promised had also been cancelled because of lack of attendance. At least the guys got in for free as well as the girls, too.
The DJ kept the tunes spinnin', the water was cool against my feet and the sun was warm on my face -- despite a pretty consistent wind that was blowing, that kept the day from being too hot. It was, really, the perfect day to be at Daylight. Not too hot, very uncrowded. Just a shame that the way factors added up, I didn't really want to stay. Would definitely give them another try though.
