Question of the Day - 17 June 2010

Q:
I'll be going to Vegas in about 10 days with a group of friends and they would like to do Karaoke. Any recommendations??
A:

We can't give you any personal recommendations, since no one on the LVA staff indulges in Karaoke (or, at least, none's 'fessing up to it.) Las Vegas has lots of options, however, which we list in our Shows & Nightlife section.

A good number of hotel-casinos offer Karaoke in one of their bars or lounges, especially the locals joints, while a lot of locals bars have a Karaoke night. The China/Korea-town corridor, essentially concentrated on Spring Mountain Road west of Valley View, also offers numerous Asian Karaoke nights in its restaurants, bars, and cafes.

Of the numerous venues we list, we can vouch for Ellis Island having a long-standing and popular Karaoke scene, ditto the Imperial Palace (although we don't know if this was impacted by the move upstairs awhile back).

The fact that Aliante Station, South Point, and Cabo Wabo at the Miracle Mile Shops have all introduced new "rock star"-style Karaoke nights indicates that the scene is still thriving, and the new Gilley's at TI has introduced "Cowpoke Karaoke". If you're in the mood for something a little (or a lot) different, Sapphire gentlemen's club offers stripper Karaoke, while Brando's pub on Industrial Rd. hosts Karaoke XXX with local porn stars every Tuesday. Only in Vegas. There's an LGBT Karaoke scene, too, with weekly nights at Freezone.

A few of the joints in our listings have been rated/reviewed by other readers, so you can check out their recommendations (or warnings); if you do try anywhere out, be sure to leave your feedback for others to read.

Update 17 June 2010
A reader writes: "I think you left out 2 of the most well known strip venues for karaoke--Bills Gamblin' House and Flamingo. Both have well known and well-attended karaoke nights. I've seen some really good folks at Bills, which lead me to believe they might have been locals that were moonlighting. In addition--at Bill's the drinks are reasonably priced too! Bill's Karaoke is Sun-Tue 8pm-2am in Bill's Lounge. Flamingo holds theirs in the Dueling Piano Bar--call for times."
