Although I’ll never summon the courage to get on stage, I enjoy a good show, and karaoke is a guilty pleasure of mine.
I relish the opportunity to sit back with a cocktail and witness the whole spectrum of human talent, ranging from dismal to spectacular.
For those who share my affinity, I put together a list of Vegas karaoke bars. As it turns out, there are plenty of options on the Strip, Fremont Street, and nearby.
On The Strip
Ellis Island Karaoke Bar: Recognized as one of the best karaoke joints in Vegas, Ellis allows guests to sing along to over 10,000 song titles from 9 pm – late nightly.
While not directly on the Strip, Ellis Island is a short walk behind Cromwell and Horseshoe.
In addition to karaoke, I love Ellis Island for cheap gambling, inexpensive eats, and affordable craft beer. The unpretentious casino is worth a visit for gamblers and those who like getting more bang for their buck.
Piano Bar at Harrah’s: A hub for free entertainment, the Piano Bar hosts Rusty’s All-Star Karaoke from 6 pm – 9 pm Monday – Thursday.
In addition to karaoke, the bar also boasts Pete Vallee’s “Big Elvis” show, the Saxman Duo, and a Dueling Piano show as resident performers.
Rockhouse at Venetian: “Live Band Karaoke” fires up at 8 pm on Friday nights at Rockhouse in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian.
The Barbershop at Cosmopolitan: A hidden speakeasy bar at Cosmopolitan, The Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails offers “Faded Karaoke” every Tuesday at 10pm.
Make reservations for The Barbershop here, and learn more about how to find the secret entrance here.
Kamu Ultra Karaoke at Venetian: Located in the Grand Canal Shoppes, Kamu Ultra offers an upscale version of karaoke on the Strip.
With 40 individual luxury suites and 6 VIP rooms, Kamu is perfect for group or work events. Unlike the typical dive bar where karaoke is found, Kamu’s decor is next level with each private room featuring a different theme, and all are stunning.
Boasting enticing menu items like Maine Lobster Rolls, Kimchi Fried Rice, Korean Fried Chicken, and a Grand Shellfish Tower, your stomach won’t be disappointed either.
Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar at Mandalay Bay: Separated from the rest of the venue, Flanker’s Karaoke room can be rented by groups of up to 20.
Red Tail at Resorts World: If you’d rather not belt out your favorite songs in front of a crowd of strangers, consider one of Red Tail’s 3 private karaoke rooms.
Karaoke Experience packages start at $50 per person for an hour.
Smelly Cat at Horseshoe: Smelly Cat is a new addition to the Grand Bazaar Shops in front of Horseshoe and will feature a song catalog of 10,000+ selections.
My friend group recently stopped in and stayed until 3am. An absolute blast.
On Fremont Street
Cat’s Meow Neonopolis: A rare Fremont Street Karaoke opportunity, Cat’s Meow offers Karaoke starting at 5pm daily. They also serve 2-1 drinks, but they aren’t cheap – 2 12oz cans of Coors Light recently cost me $12 during the promotion.

Ninja Karaoke: Located in the Las Vegas Arts District, Ninja Karaoke offers a selection of over 150,000 songs, and updates songs offered monthly. While Ninja Karaoke serves drinks, guests are encouraged to bring their own food.
Ninja has both a bar area and karaoke rooms available for rent. Room rentals start at $35/hour.
Other Karaoke Options in Las Vegas
Dino’s: Located just north of The Strat, Dino’s is a divey (my kind of place) locals bar that offers karaoke every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday starting at 10 pm.
They say to really know a destination, you need to mingle with the local population. Get away from the mega-resorts for a night and check out an old-fashioned neighborhood bar.
Area15 – Karaoke In The Wall: The off-Strip entertainment complex hosts “Karaoke In The Wall” every other Thursday. Uniquely, they feature a specific rotating genre of music each night. Examples include classic rock, country, boy bands, Broadway, and more.
The Mint Tavern: Located just off the north end of the Strip on Sahara, The Mint offers “Karate Karaoke” on Monday nights starting at 9 pm.
Uniquely, The Mint’s facade is modeled after the long-gone Fremont Street casino that went by the same name – One of my nerdy favorites.
Whether you plan to sing or watch, I hope you find a show that works for you! Knock ’em dead!
Related: Dueling Piano Bars in Las Vegas – Kind of like karaoke, but with pianos and the whole bar singing along.
I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.
Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.
