Be seduced in these jubilant Las Vegas Piano lounges - an ultimate list

Las Vegas famously has big musical headliners - and many come with a price tag. However, if you enjoy live music Vegas is not short of options. From unassuming lively bars to extravagant casino lounges, this list of Las Vegas piano bars and lounges has some of the best in the country hands down.

A genuine gem on Fremont: Don't Tell Mama.

If you’re on Fremont Street, stop by this piano bar enjoyed by visitors and locals alike. Established in 2009, this piano bar has legendary singing servers who will set down your drink, pick up the microphone, and deliver a song. Singing is a big part of their job!

The resident pianists take requests, if you would like a special song played. And, if you are a singer, the pianist will play along to your song selection. Make the most of this open-mic opportunity!

This piano bar boasts impressive talent - from the wait staff and the audience members - that makes the whole evening memorable. There is no cover charge at Don't Tell Mama, just a one-drink minimum - and we recommend their legendary Lemon Drop!

If you just feel like getting your open mic on, go to Don't Tell Mama...and... "Sing out, Louise!" (as the stage mother Rose says to her daughter in the musical Gypsy).

This venue is a sister venue of Don't Tell Mama, New York City''s long running (over 40 years) cabaret and piano bar and named for a naughty song in the musical Cabaret - in which a young lady asks the audience to not reveal her secret: "that I'm working in a nightclub, in a pair of lacey pants".
