Bruno Mars’ The Pinky Ring Lounge In Las Vegas Is Open, What To Expect
Here’s another thing to add to your Vegas bucket list: Bruno Mars’ entertainment lounge, The Pinky Ring, is officially open. Located inside Las Vegas’ Bellagio Resort & Casino, guests can enjoy the singer’s homage to the entertainers who helped shape Las Vegas and “immerse themselves in his vision of timeless glamour and remarkable artistry.”
According to the news release, The Pinky Ring is open to the public, with The Hooligans featured as the resident house band for a limited time. In addition to live entertainment, the lounge has a specialty bar program that was also curated by the singer. Inside the lounge, you’ll find vintage-style furnishings, velvet seating, and a space filled with vintage lightbulbs, mirrors, and curtains.
Featured on the lounge’s Instagram page are specialty cocktails. On the menu, you’ll find The Mars Mocha with chocolate rum, cognac, espresso, banana, and toasted sesame froth. Also featured is The Hooligan, which has tequila, Cointreau, agave nectar, lime, jalapeño, and tajin rim.
Shall we take a trip?
People expressed their excitement about The Pinky Ring’s arrival under several social media posts. “Can’t wait to get there!!!” said one person. Someone else wrote, “Let me book a flight at this point [praise emoji].” Another person shared a bit about their experience at the lounge. “I loved the red lighting! Sensational, spectacular, incredible, and fantastic!”
“I’ve been performing in Vegas for years, and I’ve always wanted a place where I could throw glamorous parties when I’m in town. A place that felt like my personal penthouse suite, with live music and sensational cocktails. The Pinky Ring is that,” Mars said in a statement.
During the exclusive opening celebration, Bruno Mars and his longtime band The Hooligans played some of Mars’ songs including “That’s What I Like” and “Treasure,” along with Jackson 5 and Bob Marley covers. The venue also had surprise performances from Janelle Monáe, Victoria Monét, Babyface, and Lucky Daye.

The Pinky Ring is open Monday through Thursday and Sunday from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. and Friday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. More information and reservations can be made here. While reservations are recommended, walk-ins are welcome.
The venue’s name may have been inspired by Mars’ hit song “24K Magic.” Specifically, the part that says, “Players, put yo’ pinky rings up to the moon.”
The Las Vegas Review-Journal first reported on Mars’ new venture back in July 2022, revealing it would replace Lily Bar & Lounge in the Bellagio. The Bellagio didn’t publicly confirm the closing of Lily Bar until June 2023.
