"Of the many nightlife options on the Las Vegas Strip, The Pinky Ring is unique. It's not a concert venue per se, but once you're inside, it's impossible not to gravitate toward the stage, which floats at the edge of a cozy, rotunda-like room. A six-piece band supplies a steady stream of funk and R&B hits from the 1980s and '90s, and the warm, pulsating sound has the exhilarating effect of a tabernacle choir."
"That's largely a testament to singer Bruno Mars, whose Grammys line the club's entryway and who partnered with Bellagio to open the club in 2024. "I've been performing in Las Vegas for a long time and never felt like there was a place that I personally would want to go for a drink," Mars told SFGATE. "So I built it.""
The Pinky Ring is a compact, rotunda-like club on the Las Vegas Strip anchored by a stage at the room's edge and powered by a six-piece band playing 1980s and 1990s funk and R&B hits. Bruno Mars partnered with Bellagio to open the club in 2024 and personally curated rotating house bands and set lists. The venue mixes nightclub elements such as VIP booths and bottle service with focused live artistry, creating enthusiastic, communal sing-alongs and high audience engagement. The club exemplifies a broader shift toward intimate music venues and suggests a potential revival of the classic Vegas lounge.
