Best Vegas Clubs for Hip-Hop in 2026

The definitive guide to where to hear hip-hop in Las Vegas — from mega-clubs with live performers to intimate lounges with the best DJs.

Las Vegas has become one of the best cities in the world for hip-hop nightlife. From multi-platinum artists doing club residencies to intimate venues with the best open format DJs, there's something for every hip-hop fan.

The Best Hip-Hop Clubs

1. Drai's Nightclub (The Cromwell)

Drai's is the undisputed king of hip-hop in Las Vegas. Located on the rooftop of The Cromwell with unreal Strip views, it regularly hosts live performances from the biggest names in rap and R&B. Think Future, Lil Wayne, and Chris Brown. The rooftop setting with an open-air dance floor makes it one of the most unique clubs anywhere.

2. Zouk Nightclub (Resorts World)

Zouk's hip-hop nights (usually Saturdays) bring in major names and the energy is electric. The state-of-the-art sound system makes every bass hit feel personal. As the newest mega-club on the Strip, the production quality is unmatched.

3. XS Nightclub (Wynn)

While known primarily for EDM, XS books hip-hop artists for special events and has a powerful sound system that handles hip-hop production beautifully. The outdoor area around the pool adds a unique dimension you won't find at other clubs.

4. On The Record (Park MGM)

A more intimate alternative to the mega-clubs, On The Record is a speakeasy-style club with multiple rooms and an open format music policy that leans heavily into hip-hop, R&B, and throwbacks. Great for groups who want to dance without the mega-club commitment.

Best Nights for Hip-Hop
