KAMU Ultra Karaoke Happy Hour. The Strip

KAMU Ultra Karaoke flips the usual happy hour script: this one isn't about cheap drinks at all. The deal here is discounted private-room rental, and it runs Monday through Thursday from 6 to 10pm. If you want a marked-down room to sing in, those are the nights to go.

This is a private-room karaoke spot rather than a single open stage, so your group books a room and sings without an audience of strangers. The setup is a step up from the dive-bar version, with real sound systems, screens, and a song library deep enough to cover whatever your group lands on, from pop to country to K-pop.

The move is to gather a crew before you go, since the rooms are built for groups and the fun scales with the number of people willing to actually sing. A reluctant solo singer in a big room is a tougher sell than four or five friends splitting the night.

Book ahead on weekends, when rooms fill fast, and remember the happy hour rate only applies Monday through Thursday. KAMU sits in the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian, so factor in walking time from the casino floor or your room. For current room rates, drink pricing, and any food options, contact the venue directly before you plan your night.
