There is plenty of free live music at casinos on the Vegas Strip. You just have to look for it.

It’s not easy to find free live music on the Vegas Strip since schedules change often and their respective websites can be out of date often. Additionally, not every bar or lounge inside a casino offers this amenity.

While live music on the Vegas Strip may not have a fee to watch and enjoy, there could be a cost to some. The venues that offer free live music are usually bars and lounges.

The bars with free live music in Las Vegas have entertainment as a way to draw customers to buy drinks. This isn’t a new tactic.

Bars and lounges around the country often expect customers to buy food or drinks while they enjoy free entertainment.

Spending a little money on a beer or cocktail can go a long way to having a fun and entertaining night in Las Vegas.
