🎤 Best karaoke spots in Las Vegas right now
These days, you can buzzedly belt out "The Sign" at pretty much any no-name bar with a standard karaoke night. Our curated list features singing spots and special nights with themes, twists, or something a little extra. Check it out.
Modern classics
- Don't Tell Mama: No scrolling lyrics here – this karaoke piano bar gets fancy with actual sheet music. (You can even bring your own.) Nervous? The pro staff will sooth jitters as they rotate in for tunes. If Michael Spadoni is on the ivories, definitely go.
- Ellis Island: Given its Strip proximity, this sing-along stalwart draws tourists and hardcore locals alike, so prepare for a big audience. It's also got a huuuuge catalog you can pregame from home. Known for their craft beer, Ellis Island also has craft root beer on tap for people can somehow manage to sing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" sober.
- Dino's: The Thursday-Saturday karaoke nights at this famously crusty dive bar are called "world famous," and we suspect that's not just marketing blather.
Mosh pit optional
- Berlin: Relive your "Salad Days" as a young punk at Berlin's Monday night institution, Punk Rock Karaoke. It's also probably the most meticulously photographically documented karaoke ever, thanks to the admirably dedicated and talented Daniel Castro.
You're so random
- Taverna Costera: If you like living on the edge – by which I mean the exhilarating thrill of possibly being voluntold to belt out "My Way" to an audience of very enthusiastic strangers – Wednesday night's Popcorn Karaoke might be the bucket for you. Random songs and a contestant wheel means you never who will be singing what.
Training wheels
Starboard Tack: Tuesday night Carloke at this modern reboot bar is hosted by the affable Hot Carl Seals. Chill, fun, low-key, no-pressure, perfect for noobs. Fuel up from their awesome food menu.
Cosplay and effect
Millennium Fandom Bar: Costumes are optional at this cosplay bar's Thursday night karaoke, but the focus is on fandom tunes – think Disney, musicals, Broadway, anime, and Christmas.
Hit high-tech high notes
Area 15: You've spent countless hours honing your go-to, signature karaoke jam to perfection, and you're ready for the stage. Go big for your big moment at Area 15's Karaoke in The Wall, featuring lots of whiz-bang high-tech doodaddery (that's a technical term) to crank your performance to 11, such as an immersive visual wall, state-of-the-art sound system, and 45,000 song catalog. Musical themes rotate.
You know, for the kids (and dogs)
Big Dog's Brewing Company: Flex your pipes al fresco at this family-friendly Tuesday karaoke night on the patio. Kids and dogs welcome to howl with accompanying adults.
A little off the top
The Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails: This hip Strip haircut spot features Tuesday night karaoke with some bonus rock star mojo: all karaoke singers are backed by a live band.
Shouts to our curator Ginger Meurer for curating this list.
