Karaoke Las Vegas: Where to Grab the Mic
From dueling pianos on the Strip to private Chinatown rooms and late-night locals’ spots, here’s where I send friends to sing.
More Things to Do in Vegas →I’ve lived in Las Vegas my whole life, and if there’s one thing this city never runs short on, it’s a stage and a microphone. Karaoke here isn’t just a strip-mall Tuesday night — it’s dueling pianos in the casinos, cozy private rooms in Chinatown where you and your crew can belt it out behind a closed door, and dive bars where the regulars know every word. Whether you’re a shower-singer working up the nerve or the friend who always hogs the list, these are the spots I keep sending people to. Hours and karaoke nights change often, so I’ve kept those loose on purpose — always check the venue’s own site or call ahead before you go.

On & Just Off the Strip
The Piano Bar at Harrah’s
One of the few spots right on the Strip where you can actually take the mic. Harrah’s rotates dueling pianos, karaoke, and the beloved “Big Elvis” daytime show, and the sound system is loud enough that you’ll sometimes draw a crowd from the sidewalk. Gaming tables sit just outside, so it’s easy to kill time while you wait your turn. Tip: This is a great warm-up before a night out — check the daily lineup so you catch a karaoke set and not just the piano show. 3475 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 · (702) 369-5000.
Ellis Island Hotel & Casino
Ellis Island is a locals’ institution, and its karaoke bar is the stuff of legend — a packed house, a deep song catalog, and everyone from tourists to the occasional Elvis impersonator taking a turn. It’s tucked into the casino next to the on-site brewery, so you can grab a house beer while you wait. Tip: It gets busy late, so get your name on the list early if you actually want to sing. 4178 Koval Ln, Las Vegas, NV 89109 · (702) 733-8901.
Downtown Las Vegas
Dino’s Lounge
Dino’s has been a Vegas staple since 1962, and it’s about as authentically old-school as this city gets — red tufted chairs, a worn stage, and locals belting out the classics. This is where you go to feel like a regular, not a tourist. There’s pool and video poker to pass the time between songs. Tip: Karaoke nights and start times shift, so check Dino’s current schedule before you head down. 1516 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89104 · (702) 382-3894.
Oddfellows
Oddfellows is a downtown alternative dance club with a moody, offbeat vibe and rotating themed nights — and karaoke turns up in the mix. It’s the spot when you want something a little away from mainstream Vegas, with two bars and plenty of room to dance once the party gets going. Tip: Nights are themed and rotate, so check what’s on the calendar to catch a karaoke night. 150 N Las Vegas Blvd #190, Las Vegas, NV 89101 · (702) 834-3377.
Chinatown, the West Side & Beyond
J Karaoke Bar
In the heart of Chinatown, J Karaoke Bar is the private-room experience done right — rent a cozy “cabin” with comfy pillows and your own screens, and sing just for your group with no crowd to face. The song selection leans international, so you’ll find hits from all over. Food is available too. Tip: Private rooms are the move for birthdays and bachelorette groups — reserve ahead on busy weekends. 3899 Spring Mountain Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89102 · (702) 586-1142.
Karaoke Q Studio
Another great private-room option, Karaoke Q Studio pairs Asian-American bar food with comfortable rooms sized for small and larger groups. The intimate setup is perfect for anyone who’s a little stage-shy but still wants to sing their heart out. Tip: Book a room in advance for groups so you’re not waiting on a walk-in slot. 3400 S Jones Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89146 · (702) 823-1448.
Go-Go Karaoke
Tucked into Runnin’ Rebel Plaza near UNLV, Go-Go Karaoke has private rooms for small, medium, and large groups, plus a made-from-scratch kitchen and song selections in several languages. It’s a favorite for celebrations, and the service gets consistent praise. Tip: Great pick for a big group where you want everyone together instead of scattered across a bar. 4550 S Maryland Pkwy #18, Las Vegas, NV 89119 · (702) 739-9011.
Café Moda
Come for the authentic Filipino cooking and stay for the karaoke and dancing. Instead of a smoky bar, Café Moda has more of a joyful family-party feel — it’s family owned and operated, and you’ll get welcomed right in. Tip: Arrive hungry and plan to make some new friends; check their page for current karaoke nights. 3400 S Jones Blvd #24, Las Vegas, NV 89146 · (702) 220-4488.
The Phoenix Bar & Lounge
A welcoming LGBTQ neighborhood bar with a lively, come-as-you-are crowd, The Phoenix hosts weekly karaoke alongside pool tables, darts, and a patio. It’s a fun, low-pressure room to take the stage. Tip: Karaoke runs on a set weekly night — check their schedule so you show up on the right evening. 4213 W Sahara Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89102 · (702) 826-2422.
Vegas nightlife moves fast, and a few longtime karaoke spots have closed their doors in recent years — so if you have a favorite I didn’t list, or you find a new one worth adding, send me an email and I’ll check it out.
