Karaoke in Las Vegas: Belt It Out Like a Rockstar!
Las Vegas isn’t just about high-stakes poker and dazzling shows—it’s also a haven for karaoke lovers ready to unleash their inner diva (or divo) under the neon glow. Whether you’re a shower singer dreaming of the spotlight or a group of friends looking to embarrass each other hilariously, the city’s karaoke scene spans dive bars with open mics, private room noraebangs (Korean-style karaoke lounges), and casino lounges with pro-level sound systems. From free-for-all stages to themed VIP suites, there’s something for every vibe. As of November 2025, the buzz is strong—recent X posts rave about family-friendly spots like Ninja Karaoke and competitive nights at events like the USKA Karaoke Cup. No partner or prior experience needed; just show up, grab a mic, and let loose. Pro tip: Hydrate before belting “Bohemian Rhapsody”—that desert air is no joke!
How Many Places Are There?
Far more than two! Yelp and Tripadvisor list over 20 top-rated spots, with dozens more pop-ups at bars and casinos. The scene splits into open-stage bars (great for mingling) and private rooms (ideal for groups). Chinatown and the Strip dominate, but Downtown and off-Strip dives add authentic local flavor. Recent expansions, like KAMU Ultra’s 40-room mega-lounge, keep things fresh.
Age Requirements?
Most spots are 21+ after 8-10 PM due to alcohol service, but family-friendly options abound earlier in the evening. Private rooms often welcome all ages with a guardian until closing (or 10 PM cutoff). Always check ahead—ID is strictly enforced on the Strip. Under-21 crowds flock to places like KAMU or GoGo for daytime sessions.
Key Venues, Schedules, Times, Costs, and More
Here’s a curated table of standout spots (updated for late 2025). Schedules can vary—call or check apps like Yelp for real-time tweaks. Costs include room fees or covers; drinks/food extra. Private rooms book via websites; open stages are first-come. Dress casual—jeans and a smile work everywhere.
