So there are plenty of options, but to get you started here are our 5 favorite restaurants with live music in Las Vegas.
Nine Fine Irishmen
NYNY Hotel – 3790 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Nine Fine Irishmen is an awesome two-story Irish pub with an outdoor patio located inside the New York New York Hotel and Casino. The interior is cozy, dark and gives a very authentic old pub vibe. In fact, the pub was actually built in Ireland and then shipped to Vegas, so it is as authentic as you can get without physically being in Ireland. Named after the nine nationalists noted for their fight in Irish Independence, you will instantly feel the Irish pride as soon you step through the doors.
What makes this place even better is that there is nightly entertainment, featuring their Irish house band, Sin e Ri Ra. They perform fantastic traditional Irish tunes and even have a live step-dancer, Tara Reid to accompany the music. Since Nine Fine Irishmen is a restaurant until 11:00pm and the band starts around 9:00pm or 10:00pm, you can squeeze an hour or two of live music in with the kids.
Ri Ra Irish Pub
Shoppes at Mandalay Place – 3930, S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119

This super fun Irish pub is located inside the Shoppes at Mandalay between the Luxor and Mandalay Bay. This large single floor pub has multiple little cozy rooms to explore. The Parlour Room looks like a 1970’s living room/library with low seating arm chairs, bookcases and a fireplace. The interior of the Theatre Room was actually salvaged from the Olympia Theatre in Dublin and is a dramatic space with dark maghony wood and red velvet walls. The Bordello Room is an intimate pub setting while the Shop Bar and Victorian Bar, which make up the main pub area were created using salvaged materials from all over Ireland.

This pub has fast become one of our favorites! Not only does Ri Ra have live music every night featuring their house band The Black Donnelly’s or John Windsor starting at 8:45 pm, but the food is actually AMAZING. This is a rare thing to say about most pubs. Everything from the complimentary soda bread to the Scottish Eggs was beyond delicious. It is an easy pub to navigate with a family, including strollers and wheelchairs with the live music easily viewable from any table in the main pub. Kids don’t have to be out until the kitchen stops serving food, so you are good for a couple of hours of Traditional Irish music fun!
Casa Di Amore

Casa Di Amore cozy old-school Italian restaurant that instantly transports you back in time to the Rat Pack days of Vegas. The atmosphere is warm, cozy and even romantic, but absolutely family-friendly. The wine flows freely, the portions of delicious Italian cuisine are generous and seating allows for large parties.

The best part? There live music every night during dinner, which means the kids are welcomed to enjoy the whole evening. Casa Di Amore is actually a local’s favorite and not attached to a hotel or on the main strip. Luckily for visitors, they offer a complimentary shuttle van to pick you up from your hotel and transport you to the restaurant and back again, you just need to tip your driver. Casa Di Amore makes for a very pleasant and convenient Vegas night out with the family.
