Bars With Pool Tables in Las Vegas: Where to Play (2026)

The bars with pool tables in Las Vegas that are easiest to reach from the Strip are Rockhouse at The Venetian, Level Up at MGM Grand and Beer Park on the Paris Las Vegas rooftop. Each has only a handful of tables, though. For a real pool hall you have to leave the resort corridor: the Las Vegas Cue Club, Griff’s, Cue D’s, Good Timez, Walter’s and Bangin Ballz are all a short rideshare away.

We rechecked every venue on this page in October 2026 against its official website, recent local press or current listings. Places that have closed, been renamed or no longer show pool tables are listed separately near the end, with dates and sources, because older guides still send people to them.

Is there a pool hall on the Las Vegas Strip?

No. The old advice still holds in 2026: there is no dedicated pool hall inside any Strip resort. What you will find are bars and game lounges with a few tables mixed in with beer pong, shuffleboard, arcade games and sports screens. Those tables are shared with everyone in the room, so weekend evenings and big game days are the worst times to try.

Strictly speaking, Bangin Ballz Billiards has a Las Vegas Boulevard address (9155 S Las Vegas Blvd), but it sits near South Point, miles south of the resorts most visitors mean by “the Strip”. The Las Vegas Cue Club on East Sahara Avenue is the nearest full hall to the north end.

Bars with pool tables on the Strip

Rockhouse, Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian

• Where: Grand Canal Shoppes inside The Venetian, 3377 S Las Vegas Blvd (Level 2 in the mall directory).
• What it is: A rock-themed sports bar and restaurant with three bars, dozens of TVs, live band karaoke and bar games such as giant Jenga and beer pong.
• Pool: Rockhouse’s private-events page describes its main dining room as having space “for dancing and billiards”.
• Status: Verified open October 2026. Older guides flagged a closure risk, but the official site is selling NFL watch parties for the 2026 season and lists regular opening hours.

Rockhouse is the most central option on the Strip and the easiest to combine with a walk through the Venetian and Palazzo. It is a busy party bar, not a quiet place to practise.

Level Up, MGM Grand

• Where: MGM Grand, 3799 S Las Vegas Blvd, just inside the Strip entrance and next to Hakkasan.
• What it is: A 12,000-square-foot social gaming lounge with arcade games, a VR arena, foosball, ping pong, Giant Pac-Man, sports TVs and a bar.
• Pool: MGM Resorts’ own venue guide for Level Up lists pool among its traditional games, and current October 2026 listings still name pool tables and shuffleboard.
• Status: Verified open October 2026. Note that MGM Grand’s page shows Level Up closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (checked 6 October 2026).

Beer Park, Paris Las Vegas

• Where: Rooftop of Paris Las Vegas, 3655 S Las Vegas Blvd, overlooking the Fountains of Bellagio.
• What it is: An open-air rooftop sports bar with more than 100 beers and more than 60 screens, according to its official site.
• Pool: The official site advertises “outdoor games” without naming them; the Las Vegas Advisor listing names pool tables alongside shuffleboard, foosball and life-size Jenga.
• Status: Verified open October 2026. Because the tables share an outdoor deck with a crowd watching games, treat them as a bonus rather than the reason to go.

Downtown, Fremont East and the Arts District

Backstage Bar & Billiards

Backstage Bar & Billiards at 601 E Fremont St is a 21+ live-music venue with pool tables, part of the 601 Fremont entertainment complex in Fremont East. Las Vegas Weekly recommended it in July 2026 for “equal parts game and good ol’ chaos”. Expect bands and DJs on show nights, which makes it better for a casual rack than for serious practice. Verified October 2026.

Dino’s Lounge

Dino’s at 1516 S Las Vegas Blvd, between downtown and the north end of the Strip, has been pouring drinks since 1962 and calls itself “The Last Neighborhood Bar in Las Vegas”. The billiards directory Poolhall Junkies lists two 7-foot tables at 50 cents a game and 24/7 opening, and Las Vegas Weekly included Dino’s in its July 2026 pool roundup. It is a dive bar with karaoke, not a pool room. Verified October 2026.

Cornish Pasty Co., Arts District

The Arts District lounge of Cornish Pasty Co. at 10 E Charleston Blvd was also named by Las Vegas Weekly in July 2026 as a place to “rack up” while eating and drinking. Table numbers were not published, so think of it as a food stop with a game on the side. Verified October 2026.

Off-Strip pool halls in Las Vegas

These rooms are where locals, leagues and visiting players actually play. None is walkable from the Strip, but all are a short rideshare away. Las Vegas Weekly named Good Timez, Cue Club, Cue D’s, Walter’s and Bangin Ballz as the places to “sharpen your game” in a July 2026 feature that opened at Griff’s.

Las Vegas Cue Club

• Where: 953 E Sahara Ave, Suite 15A, east of the Strip’s north end.
• Tables: 18 listed on the club’s website: six 9-foot Diamonds, ten smaller Diamonds, plus a 9-foot and a 7-foot Brunswick, along with two Tornado foosball tables.
• Notes: The club says it is open 24/7 and smoke- and vape-free. Some older listings show a previous address, so use the Sahara Avenue one. Verified October 2026 (official site).

Griff’s Bar & Billiards

• Where: 3650 S Decatur Blvd, west of the Strip. (Older versions of this page placed it east of the Strip; that was wrong.)
• Tables: About two dozen; AZBilliards counted 26 pool tables in February 2024. The official site does not publish a current count.
• Notes: A non-smoking billiard hall with a full restaurant and bar, regular leagues and tournaments, and live-streamed tables. Verified October 2026 (official site and Las Vegas Weekly, July 2026).

Bangin Ballz Billiards

• Where: 9155 S Las Vegas Blvd, Suite 222, about a minute from South Point.
• Tables: 30 Rasson tables (24 seven-foot and 6 nine-foot), according to its website.
• Notes: Family-owned, with a 32-seat bar serving beer, wine and ready-to-drink cocktails, plus tournaments and private bookings. Its site listed 7-foot tables at $12 per hour per table in October 2026. Verified October 2026 (official site).

Cue D’s

• Where: 3400 S Jones Blvd, Unit 19, west of the Strip.
• Notes: A pool and darts bar with a large room of tables, popular with late-night players. The official site shows opening from mid-afternoon until 3am. We could not find a current official table count, so we have dropped the “over 20 tables” figure from older versions of this page. Verified October 2026.

Good Timez Billiards

• Where: 5740 W Charleston Blvd, west of the Strip.
• Notes: A family-owned pool hall with a full bar, pinball machines, karaoke and regular tournaments. Listings describe standard tables plus pro and snooker tables. Verified October 2026 (Las Vegas Weekly, July 2026, and current listings).

Walter’s Billiards

• Where: 8665 W Flamingo Rd, Suite 114, in the southwest valley.
• Notes: One of the newer rooms in town. It offers league-ready tables, beer, wine and soju, and arcade-style games, and says it is open 10am to 2am daily. Unusually for Las Vegas, the official site says all ages are welcome. Verified October 2026 (official site).

Rum Runner Lounge (Tropicana)

• Where: 1801 E Tropicana Ave, east of the Strip.
• Notes: A neighbourhood bar known for pool and darts, with multiple Diamond tables and long-running local pool events. It suits players who want bar-league atmosphere rather than a hall. Verified October 2026 (current Las Vegas listings).

Asylum Bar + Arcade, AREA15

• Where: AREA15, 3215 S Rancho Dr, just west of the Strip across I-15.
• What changed: This is the venue older guides call Emporium. It reopened under the Asylum name and is on AREA15’s current directory as its “drink-and-play” bar.
• Tables: Four pool tables, alongside 32 arcade games and 12 pinball machines, as reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
• Notes: The upper floor is 21+; the ground floor admits younger guests during set hours. Verified October 2026.

Las Vegas pool venues at a glance (verified October 2026)

Closed or changed: venues from older lists

Several places that appeared on this page in 2022 are gone or no longer advertise pool. If you are working from an old list, these are the ones to skip or double-check:

• Tailgate Social, Palace Station: closed after service on 31 August 2025, to be replaced by a Korean barbecue restaurant (Las Vegas Review-Journal, 24 July 2025).
• Hogs & Heifers: the saloon across from Downtown Grand closed on 6 July 2025 when its lease ended. It ran a pop-up “Outpost” at the Plaza from January 2026 and is moving to 307-319 Main St; we could not confirm pool tables at the new site.
• Emporium, AREA15: renamed Asylum Bar + Arcade (listed above).
• Gorilla Cafe, East Tropicana: the carom and pool room is shown as closed on current restaurant listings (updated August 2026).
• The Nerd, Neonopolis: still open on Fremont Street, but its current website promotes bowling, arcade games and a mechanical bull, not pool tables.
• Slots A Fun (Circus Circus), BetMGM Sportsbook & Bar (Park MGM) and The Cosmopolitan sportsbook: all featured as pool spots in older guides. Slots A Fun was refitted in 2024 with table games and coin slots, and neither the Park MGM nor the Circus Circus official pages mention pool tables in October 2026. Ask before you go rather than relying on old listings.

Tips for playing pool in Las Vegas

1. Go early on the Strip. With only a few tables per bar, weekday afternoons are far easier than Friday or Saturday nights or NFL Sundays.
2. Use the halls for a real game. If you want to practise or play a long session, a rideshare to the Cue Club or Griff’s is worth more than an hour waiting for a bar table.
3. Check smoking rules. Some Las Vegas bars still allow smoking. Griff’s and the Cue Club both say they are smoke-free; our guide to non-smoking casinos in Las Vegas covers the resort side.
4. Bring ID. Most venues on this list are 21+ bars, and staff check IDs before handing over cues.
5. Confirm hours and rates on the day. We have only quoted hours and prices from official sites, dated October 2026; they change, especially around big events.
6. Mind the bar-top machines. Many Vegas bars have video poker built into the bar. Set a limit if you play, and if gambling stops being fun, call 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738).

Frequently asked questions

Are there bars with pool tables on the Las Vegas Strip?

Yes, but only a few. As of October 2026 we verified billiards at Rockhouse in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, pool at Level Up inside MGM Grand, and pool tables listed for Beer Park on the Paris Las Vegas rooftop. Each has a small number of tables shared with other bar games, so expect to wait at busy times.

Is there a full pool hall on the Las Vegas Strip?

No. None of the dedicated pool halls we verified in October 2026 is inside a Strip resort. The closest are the Las Vegas Cue Club on East Sahara Avenue, east of the Strip’s north end, and Bangin Ballz Billiards on the far south end of Las Vegas Boulevard near South Point, well beyond the resort corridor.

Is there a 24-hour pool hall in Las Vegas?

According to its own website, the Las Vegas Cue Club at 953 E Sahara Ave is open 24/7. Dino’s Lounge, a dive bar at 1516 Las Vegas Blvd S with two pool tables, is also listed as open 24 hours by the billiards directory Poolhall Junkies. Check before a late-night trip, as hours can change.

Are there non-smoking pool halls in Las Vegas?

Yes. Griff’s Bar & Billiards on South Decatur Boulevard describes itself as a non-smoking billiard hall, and the Las Vegas Cue Club calls its room a smoke- and vape-free environment (both official sites, checked October 2026).

Where do serious pool players go in Las Vegas?

Locals and league players tend to use the dedicated rooms off the Strip: Griff’s, the Las Vegas Cue Club, Cue D’s, Good Timez, Walter’s Billiards and Bangin Ballz. Las Vegas Weekly named these as the places to sharpen your game in July 2026, and Griff’s and Bangin Ballz both run regular tournaments.

How much does it cost to play pool in Las Vegas?

Pool halls usually charge by the hour and bars by the game. As one example, Bangin Ballz listed $12 per hour per table for its 7-foot Rasson tables on its website in October 2026, while Poolhall Junkies lists Dino’s Lounge at 50 cents a game. Rates elsewhere vary, so check the venue first.

Can you play pool in Las Vegas if you are under 21?

In most places, no, because the majority of pool venues are bars. A few are exceptions: Walter’s Billiards says all ages are welcome, and Asylum Bar + Arcade at AREA15 has a ground floor that admits under-21s during set hours while its upper floor is 21+. Always check the venue’s age policy before you go.
