As one does in Vegas, we stumbled upon this fantastic bar outside Harrah's. The music drew us in, a great band - Droids - taking requests. The bartenders were fantastic, a show themselves and the cocktails were delicious. Epic evening - highly recommend! read more

This place was a fun stop while visiting Vegas. The bartenders are so fun and the drinks are amazing. A little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. Love the outdoor patio and live bands, was a great time. This place is lots of fun if you like good live bands and stiff drinks made by bartenders with flair! read more

Always a fun time at this bar. They used to do a lot of flare bartending but not so much this time so that was disappointing but we did have a blast c read more

OMG how have I never written a Yelp review for this place?!?!?!?! This is one of my favorite places to go on the strip. Its outdoors, in between Harrah's casino & Linq casino. Its easy to get to & get into. No cover charge & they have live music/bands & DJ's. Not sure on what nights but its always been great music & fun times here!! Great place for groups too!! Drinks are $$$$$ so be prepared to pay Vegas prices. Bartenders are always putting on a show, juggling around bottles & stuff and all are very friendly & nice. I LOVE their fun/funny sign boards they have going around the bar that they stick in front of the customers. There's times when their poker tables are open that are outside here. I've also been here in their upper reserved seating area during private events. There is security @ the door who will check your ID upon entering. Your not allowed to bring in any outside drinks so finish them up before headed in. If you buy a drink inside here you are allowed to take it out with you (bathrooms are located inside Harrah's casino or use the one in Linq, but Harrahs is closer) when going out to use the bathroom or maybe to throw some money in a slot machine or a few bucks on a table inside and they will let you bring your drink back inside with you. You can always tell them your coming back but they seem to know who's already been inside when coming back from the bathroom/casino. This is a must stop if you love to have fun!!! read more

This was a cool experience while in Vegas.  I love places that have live music everyday, and this place does live music twice per day, different bands. It's under what looks like a circus tent between Harrah's and the LINQ. We had the pleasure of the musical performance of Original Chaos, an energetic and quirky band playing rock and country songs during a Sunday afternoon (we were there around 3-5pm). They played some Bryan Adams (Summer of 69), and Jimmy Eat World, and more. And they certainly kept the crowd entertained. The tables have drink menus directly on them, so it was easy to select the Purple Skittle I decided to try from the bar. It was delicous, the perfect sweetness, and kind of tasted like a skittle! They have outdoor heaters that were blasting around the entire bar and warming up visitors underneath that "tent", so even during the winter, this place stays pretty comfortable. I like this spot and would definitely return next time I'm in Vegas. read more

We have been coming to carnival court for Ella's 20 years and the last several years we have seen a huge drop on customers. It can be contributed to last of the listers working during the summer which is an easy and inexpensive fix. No tables open, and the cost of the buckets increase triple. We come for the entertainment. But if Harahs wants to make money they need to fix their ish. Unless they are trying to show a loss for a bigger reason. Hmmm!!!! read more

I really enjoy seeing live music. And cover bands are fun. Carnaval Court on the strip is a really great place to do both. There is no cover charge. I went a few times this month and each time saw some really good bands. The have a bar in the middle section with some very talented bartenders, who perform tricks and are very energetic. Check it out next time you are in Vegas. read more

My friends and I stopped by since we used to come here all the time and it was a happenin place. On a Tuesday night at 11:30 pm, it was not. Maybe 20 people total in the venue. The band was on a break so we decided to grab a drink from the bar. I ordered a vodka redbull which totalled $28??!! Are you kidding me?? Highway robbery. At least I got this pic.... read more

$21 for a Moscow mule! It was strong and the guy did some flips with the bottles, but $21??? No way, never again.

Shrimp and grits were delicious... chicken and waffles were great and plentiful, lemonade on point but the highlight of our brunch was Precious . Precious was delightful, knowledgeable and attentive.. She made our brunch worth coming back for more. Definitely will be back soon thanks to Precious. read more

This place was crazy fun. Stupid fun. My last worst epic ugly hangover came from this place. The band was great, waitresses pouring liquor from up top the bar into patrons mouths (watch out for the siren!) Omg. I'm getting nauseated thinking about the next morning... Not the swankiest of places but just silly, stupid really FUN place!! read more

Definitely middle aged crowd vibes. There's a DJ, dancing, music and drinks! And if you're lucky, Mig will make them for you! Ask for him! And thank me later. He is AMAZING!! Love that this bar is outdoors and inbetween Linq & Harrahs. read more

I have been going to this nat for over a decade and loved it. But yesterday there was a bar tender, not one I've seen before, Asian with glasses, and he should not be in this industry. We were watching the hockey playoffs and suddenly it was changed to basketball. We asked one of that bar backs to change it back and he very kindly did. Suddenly this bartender starts screaming at the bar back and the bar back explained that we wrists requested it and he yells 'I DON'T CARE THIS IS MY BAR' and changed it back. When we confronted him explaining no one was watching basketball ball on that side, he started yelling at us and told us to 'go to another f'ing bar'. And then he started yelling at the bar back again 'Don't you ever touch the remote without asking me'. I yelled back at him to not yell at him and he told me 'I will yell at him if I f'ing want to this is my bar!'. After multiple exchanges of profanity we walked out. I will tell you that one of the gentlemen I brought with me had never been there and came because i recommended it. He's a Diamond plus member for Ceasars Rewards, and was flabbergasted. The regular bar tenders are amazing. This guy needs to be fired. ​ read more

Danced the night away on my birthday here. Bar tender was super kind and the band played awesome music. Wasn't too crowded but the folks who were there were ripping up the dance floor. The DJ played some jams too! Loved it here and will definitely return. read more

Although I have zero check-ins here, in reality I have been here approximately 128 times. They piggyback on my Harrah's check-ins. Let me say that during my first 100 check-ins Carnaval Court was a Las Vegacy place that captured the pre-pedimic City of Entertainment energy. Now it is a sketchy location between Harrah's and The Linq. The C.D., hustle scam is well known in Las Vegas. The catch is tough looking young men will hand you a blank C.D., then pressure you into buying it. YouTube channels will warn of this scam. Unfortunately, Caesar's Entertainment which owns Carnaval Court could care less about their guests safety. The last few times I was passing through here they were evident. Today was the worse that I have seen it. The C.D. hustlers were in groups of people impeding traffic flow right outside where Carnaval Court leads to The Linq. This was both intimidating and annoying that on the to the degree of my brother and I walking the back corridors of The Linq and Harrah's on our walk back to the Linq to avoid them. This is an interesting situation considering that I was here a couple of months ago and the same thing was going on. Joining them are some people drugged out of their mind and mentally ill. This leads me to the impression that Caesar's Entertainment could care less about their guests experience and safety. This is contrary to my earlier check-ins where there were security guards in front of the Harrah's and Linq doors that buffer the Carnival Court. For the first time ever Carnival Court, a business was more sketchy than what you see on the pedestrian bridges. Carnival Court really needs to beef up their security. It is disgusting to allow a well known scam to take place on your property and a disgrace to cut corners on security. read more

I turned 21 here many many years ago and I love going back for a drink and remembering what a fun night that was. They typically have a fun band playing some hits. The bartenders make it a fun experience with their flare bartending skills. A bit pricey but what isn't in Vegas? Overall fun atmosphere and place to enjoy some live music and cocktails. read more

Such a great place to stop for a drink and some good music. Live bands that are fantastic! The bartenders do a show with their bottle service. No cover charge, which is great. Plenty of seating around the bar, but they also have table and chairs by the stage. It's between Harrah's and The Linq....great location on the strip. read more

My girlfriend and I are locals and we enjoy going out and seeing local bands playing at different venues. Carnival Court is one of them. Last month in Oct my gf and I and some friends went down to CC to see some friends play. We have become well acquainted with some of the bar tenders there. This particular night it was busy, I understand completely, it's Vegas!!! So I ordered some drinks and left my credit card with the bar tenders to keep an open tab. I went up two times. At the end of the night I went to get my card and the bartenders couldn't find my card, they brought me someone's card with the same last name. I gave that card back.. 15 minutes later they asked for my first name and last name again. 10 minutes later they came to me with my card. That's 25 minutes waiting for my card. I read my receipt and it seem abit higher but didn't think anything of it. I signed it left a tip even. Next morning I went over the receipt and noticed there was a few drink items on there that wasn't mine. I called Harrahs billing they took all my information and the wrong items that was added to my bill. Just got word that Harrahs won't fix it..this will be last time I spend money there. CC needs a new way of storing customers credit cards at the bar...js read more

For the amount of money they make care they should fix their misters. They bartenders awesome music.

I had no idea this abr was there and as soon as we found out we had to check it out. I really loved this bar, it was awesome, so much fun with the live music and amazing bartenders. The whole venue is pretty cool and unique, it honestly reminds me of papas and beer in rosarito. There is not many places where you sit for free and listen to live music in Las Vegas , so this is a must when you are in town or if you live here. read more

Carnival court at Harrahs casino in Las Vegas is so much fun. It's a very casual entertainment venue with a live band and DJ sets in between. They play different of genres of music. It's definitely for an older crowd which is awesome for those who don't want to deal with the club scene in Vegas and no cover charge. The bartenders also provide awesome entertainment. The drinks could be better though. read more

Carnaval Court Las Vegas - Bartenders showing off their skills - Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I would like to start this review by saying that Carnaval Court is one of my all time favorite bars in Las Vegas and we absolutely love the bar staff , especially Ruggs who her been here for at least the last 20 years since we started coming)). I cannot state how absolutely disappointed I was to learn today that Harrah's has cut the hours and the staff at this absolute hidden gem starting this week delaying opening on Mon-Tvurs until 6pm. What a disappointment to every 21st birthday that happens to fall outside of the weekend. We have been talking up this bar and the Whip It's up for the past year, getting our daughter excited for her 21st celebration IN Vegas only to learn that the Carnaval Court isn't open until 6pm. Not sure who made this decision but they should rethink their marketing and recognize who their target consumer really is. Please fix this decision before you lose your base consumer. read more

Usually a fun and exciting hot spot, but with Covid restrictions, not so much. Limited performances on Friday and Saturday, with only two man bands. Our favorite group, The Whip Its,who play great 80s music, were sorely missed this trip. Note masks must be worn at all times. Prices for wine were a bit steep but always great service. Hoping our next visit things will be a bit more enjoyable. read more

Carnaval Court Las Vegas - It's not the same - Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Carnaval Court is a fun, energetic outdoor venue with some of the best flair bartenders in the world right in the middle of the Las Vegas strip. Located between Harrah's and the Linq you can always find people having a good time here. Carnaval Court is actually part of the Harrah's Vegas property and offers live bands and DJ's all week long. They usually have an early evening band at about 4pm and an evening band around 8pm. They are all awesome bands that are so fun and talented, most have been playing there for years! I had the pleasure of catching a band on a Sunday night called "Status the band". They definitely killed it with a huge variety of music that kept the people dancing and singing along all night. I can't say it enough, the bartenders are AMAZING and definitely take your drinking experience to another level with their creative, fun acrobatic tricks. This place is not pretentious at all, its more like a super casual outdoor club with no cover charge! So whether you are on a date, with a group, rollin' solo and not into the crowded, expensive, dressy Vegas club life you can still have fun on the strip...your way! read more

Always so much fun anytime of year. Good music, good drinks, and I always meet good hearted people who like to have fun too.

I've had a good time here before, but recently I encountered a waitress who might have been having a bad day. Me and my friends went to a table near the stage with our drinks. A few minutes later a waitress comes up to me.. just me, and tell a me we can't sit here because it's reserved. Ok, makes sense. A little bit later, I notice another table clear out so we go to that table. A few minutes pass and the same waitress comes up to me.. just me... and tells me in a cunty voice, that there's a $100 minimum to sit there. I say ok, then she leaves and I tell my friends who are too drunk to care. I never heard of a $100 minimum to sit at a table.. is this new or was the waitress just being cunty? read more

ABSOLUTLEY, UNEQUIVOCALLY HANDS DOWN the best bar in Las Vegas, at least that Ive been to. Where do I even begin. Lets start with the drinks. Tired of outrageous priced bars on the strip that serve weak drinks?? Come to Carnival Court. The drinks are STRONG, and when I say strong I mean hulk strong. The bartenders are funny as hell and you can enjoy watching them do all the crazy tricks (whatever you call that, when they toss the bottles around and what not). They normally have great bands playing, even during the day, who take requests through an QR code or dropping your request on a bucket on the stage. Its an incredibly awesome place where your value for your dollar goes a very long way. Whoever owns this place is a genuis. Very underrated, as we just happened to stumble upon. Stop pissing away money on overpriced drinks on the strip and check it out. read more

Normally I don't give reviews like these but at the Carnaval Court my friend was cornered by 5 people and shaken down for money or "donations" security needs to be improved or staff could be more diligent with monitoring the area or maybe a better attempt at keeping beggars out of that area. Other than that I have had fun times here but something needs to be said for the safety of the area. read more

Entertaining. Awesome bartenders and no cover charge. Open nightly. Happening type of Atmosphere.

I had a great time here on Labor Day Friday...a mid-afternoon of cold beers sitting under misters (air mist machines in case there was any question) while listening to The Whip Its. The band was fun and I've gotta say their guitarist (Dieter, I believe...) was terrific with the solos and innuendos! The server, Stephanie, really hustled and had personality as well. I'd go back for sure next time in town. read more
