Why you should experience On The Record in Las Vegas, Nevada.
On The Record is a clandestine nightclub where the Las Vegas Strip's after-hours culture, music nostalgia, immersive design, and contemporary nightlife converge into one of the city's most inventive evening destinations.
Set along South Las Vegas Boulevard near Park Avenue and just steps from Dolby Live, the venue conceals itself behind a functioning record store façade before unfolding into a succession of hidden rooms where vintage music culture, theatrical interiors, and high-energy entertainment create an atmosphere unlike a conventional nightclub. Curiosity steadily builds as secret passageways, vinyl collections, intimate cocktail spaces, and expansive dance floors reveal a concept inspired by the discovery of forgotten music venues. The defining moment arrives when the journey through each space becomes as memorable as the music itself. The result is an experience defined by discovery, creativity, and one of the Strip's most imaginative nightlife concepts.
What you should know about On The Record.
On The Record is best known for debuting at Park MGM in December 2018 as the first Las Vegas project from Houston Hospitality founders and twin brothers Jonnie and Mark Houston, whose portfolio also includes Break Room 86, No Vacancy, Black Rabbit Rose, Good Times at Davey Wayne's, and La Descarga in Los Angeles. Conceived as a tribute to independent record stores and historic music venues, the concept occupies 11,000 square feet hidden behind a two-story record shop entrance, incorporating three distinct indoor and outdoor environments, three private karaoke rooms, the intimate Vinyl Parlor cocktail lounge, a DJ booth fashioned from a Rolls-Royce, an outdoor DJ booth built into a double-decker bus, and curated collections of vinyl records and cassette tapes throughout the venue. The club's opening coincided with the transformation of the former Monte Carlo into Park MGM, positioning the venue opposite Dolby Live to complement the resort's expanding entertainment program through concert after-parties, guest bartender residencies, live musicians, DJs, and themed nightlife programming. Continued operation as Houston Hospitality's flagship Las Vegas venue, recognition within the city's nightlife scene, reopening in July 2021 following pandemic closures, and a design philosophy centered on immersive storytelling rather than conventional nightclub layouts have established On The Record among the Strip's most distinctive nightlife destinations.
Music remains the thread connecting each room as classic hip-hop, funk, rock, pop, and contemporary dance tracks flow between intimate listening spaces, lively dance floors, and hidden cocktail lounges without sacrificing the venue's carefully curated identity. Handcrafted cocktails, premium spirits, atmospheric lighting, vintage memorabilia, and layered sound design encourage guests to move naturally between contrasting environments while discovering new details with each transition. Secret entrances, unexpected architectural reveals, and carefully orchestrated pacing create an evening built around exploration as much as celebration. Together, the immersive design, music-first philosophy, and theatrical environments express a nightlife character defined by originality, nostalgia, and enduring affection for record-store culture.
