On The Record on Thursdays

On The Record at Park MGM is the most creatively designed nightlife venue in Las Vegas — a 11,000-square-foot speakeasy concept where entry is hidden behind a working record store storefront off the Park MGM casino floor. Once inside, three distinct rooms offer completely different atmospheres: a main room dance floor with a DJ booth built into a salvaged Rolls-Royce, an outdoor patio anchored by a double-decker bus that serves as a second DJ stage, and private karaoke rooms for groups who want their own sound. Opened in 2018 by Two Bit Circus creators with a vinyl and music memorabilia aesthetic throughout, On The Record celebrates music culture in a way no other Vegas club does — framed platinum records, vintage gear, and curated sound define every room. The craft cocktail program is one of the most considered in Vegas nightlife, with bartenders who rotate in as guest artists alongside the DJs. The venue programs hip-hop, Top 40, and open format across its intimate 800-person capacity, making it the go-to for groups who want energy without the overwhelming scale of the Strip mega-clubs. Wednesday night has become a local industry staple, drawing off-duty service industry workers from across the Strip. With a capacity of approximately 800 guests, On The Record is an intimate, boutique-style space where the energy stays concentrated and every corner of the room feeds off the DJ booth.

The Thursday-night atmosphere at On The Record inside Park MGM is best understood as The most creatively designed nightclub in Las Vegas — 11,000 square feet hidden behind a working record store, with a Rolls-Royce DJ booth in the main room, a double-decker bus outdoor DJ stage on the patio, and private karaoke rooms bookable by groups. Three completely different environments under one roof: interior dance floor with the Rolls-Royce booth as the visual anchor, open-air patio with the bus stage above the crowd, and private rooms where the group controls its own sound and pace entirely. The craft cocktail program rotates guest bartenders alongside the DJs, making the bar a parallel performance stage rather than a service counter. At 800-person capacity, the venue operates at a social scale where groups maintain cohesion across the room — large enough for genuine energy, intimate enough that a group of 8 to 10 stays together rather than fragmenting across a massive floor. Best for groups who want creativity over spectacle, intimacy over scale, and a club entrance that becomes its own story the moment the group walks through the record store into the speakeasy.. On The Record is defined by its standout features: Enter through a working record store, DJ booth built into a Rolls-Royce, Double-decker bus outdoor DJ stage, Private karaoke rooms available, Craft cocktail + guest bartender program, and 800 capacity — intimate alternative to mega-clubs. Each of these elements contributes to the signature atmosphere that keeps guests coming back and has earned the venue its reputation among both first-time visitors and Vegas regulars.

On The Record at Park MGM is entered through a working record store — a storefront staffed with an actual vinyl selection, operating as a retail shop — whose back wall conceals the club entrance. No other Las Vegas nightclub has a hidden entry point functioning as a real business rather than a theatrical prop. Once inside, the venue distributes across three entirely distinct rooms: the main dance floor where the DJ booth is constructed from the body of a salvaged Rolls-Royce automobile, the outdoor patio where a vintage double-decker bus serves as an elevated second DJ stage, and a bank of private karaoke rooms bookable by groups who want to control their own sound for part of the evening. The 11,000-square-foot space at 800-person capacity was created by Two Bit Circus developers in 2018 with music memorabilia as the unifying aesthetic — framed platinum records, vintage amplifiers, and production equipment integrated into the décor rather than applied as set dressing. The craft cocktail program rotates guest bartenders alongside the DJs, treating the bar as a parallel performance stage rather than a service station. On The Record operates Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday — three nights rather than the five-to-seven night schedules of Strip mega-clubs — with Wednesday serving as the strongest industry night in Park MGM's nightlife program, drawing off-duty service workers from across the Strip in an intimate setting that has become one of the most reliably attended midweek evenings in Las Vegas nightlife. The Park MGM location on the south end of the Strip places it directly adjacent to T-Mobile Arena — the footbridge connecting the two properties takes under 10 minutes — making On The Record the default post-concert venue for groups leaving arena events at the adjacent 20,000-seat stadium that hosts UFC fights, NBA games, and arena concerts year-round. The venue's three-night operating schedule concentrates its programming quality rather than spreading it thin: the DJ talent and craft cocktail program are applied to three focused evenings rather than diluted across five to seven nights of varying quality.
