Where to Go
Top Hip Hop Nightclubs in Vegas
These are the venues that consistently deliver the best hip hop experience in Las Vegas — whether you want live performances, open-format DJ sets, or dedicated hip hop rooms inside mega-clubs.
Drai's Nightclub
The Cromwell
The undisputed king of hip hop in Vegas. Rooftop setting at The Cromwell with live performances from A-list rappers every weekend.
OMNIA Nightclub
Caesars Palace
The Heart of Omnia room and terrace regularly feature hip hop and Top 40 sets. Thursdays are industry night with heavy hip hop rotation.
Tao Nightclub
The Venetian
A Vegas institution since 2005. Thursday nights are legendary for hip hop with open format mixing R&B, trap, and classic hip hop.
Marquee Nightclub
The Cosmopolitan
The Library room at Marquee often features hip hop while the main room goes EDM. Monday industry nights lean heavily hip hop.
Hakkasan
MGM Grand
The Ling Ling Lounge on the third floor is the go-to spot for hip hop and R&B on nights when the main room features EDM headliners.
Zouk Nightclub
Resorts World
The newest mega-club features hip hop nights mixed into their rotation alongside EDM headliners.
Timing Is Everything
Best Nights for Hip Hop in Vegas
Not every night in Vegas is a hip hop night. The biggest EDM headliners tend to take over the main rooms on Friday and Saturday, which pushes hip hop into secondary rooms and lounges on those nights. That is not necessarily a bad thing — those smaller rooms often have a better vibe for hip hop fans.
Thursday and Sunday nights are where hip hop takes center stage across most major venues. Thursday is industry night at several clubs, which means open-format sets heavy on hip hop, R&B, and trap. Sunday is a similar story — many clubs book hip hop DJs and live performers to close out the weekend.
If you are visiting on a Friday or Saturday and want hip hop, head straight to Drai's — it is the one venue that stays hip hop every single night of the week. Otherwise, check the secondary rooms at OMNIA, Hakkasan, or Marquee for dedicated hip hop and R&B sets alongside the main EDM event.
Insider Tips
Tips for Hip Hop Club Nights
- Dress code is stricter at hip hop nights. Venues tend to enforce the dress code more tightly on hip hop nights. Collared shirts and dress shoes for men are strongly recommended. Leave the sneakers, jerseys, and hats at the hotel.
- Arrive before 12:30 AM for guest list. Most guest lists close between midnight and 12:30 AM. Hip hop nights tend to draw bigger crowds, so showing up early is the difference between free entry and paying full cover.
- Check the DJ lineup before you go. Vegas clubs rotate between EDM and hip hop depending on the night and the booked performer. Always check the venue calendar or ask your promoter so you end up at the right spot.
- Secondary rooms are your friend. Even on EDM-heavy Friday and Saturday nights, most mega-clubs have a secondary room or lounge playing hip hop and R&B. Ask the staff which room has the hip hop set.
