New Nightlife Venue Blends Dining and Music Programming Vinyl Room Las Vegas opens August 8 on the 63rd floor of Mandalay Bay, positioning itself as an all-night destination that pairs elevated Asian cuisine with craft cocktails and immersive music programming inspired by 1970s Japanese hi-fi listening lounges. The menu centers on shareable plates, with dishes including crab head dumplings, lobster salad, Wagyu steak donabe, a 32oz Tomahawk steak, sushi tots, and chili crunch chicken wings. Desserts include taiyaki—a Japanese-style pastry filled with strawberry jam, hazelnut chocolate, and cookie butter, served with chocolate sauce and passion fruit bavarois.
Theatrical Cocktail Program The cocktail program emphasizes tableside presentations.
The Audiophile Flask features music-inspired craft cocktails poured from a vinyl-record flask in a cloud of smoke, while the Neon Koyo is a shareable punch served from a glass pitcher for the table. Vinyl Room operates seven nights a week from 4 p.m. to close, allowing guests to visit during happy hour, dine, or arrive for late-night listening. The venue offers sweeping Strip views and sits adjacent to House of Blues Las Vegas.
Why It Matters
The opening represents a high-profile nightlife addition to Mandalay Bay's portfolio and another entry in Las Vegas's increasingly competitive rooftop and elevated dining scene, where music programming and theatrical cocktail service have become key differentiators for premium venues.
