Committed to Local Music and the Community
Las Vegas has a real music scene — but it only survives if people show up.
At The Vegas Room, we focus on original artists and independent venues, documenting their rich contributions to the local music scene. We foster a culture of live music appreciation and provide platforms for artists to shine. Our commitment has garnered recognition from local music awards, solidifying our role as vital supporters of the community.
The Vegas Room exists to document, support, and amplify the local musicians, venues, and communities that operate outside the Strip spotlight. We focus on original artists, independent rooms, and the listeners who keep live music alive by walking through the door.
This is not a calendar site.
This is not hype.
This is about presence.
We document the parts of the scene that rarely get archived:
– Local original bands and musicians
– Independent venues and DIY rooms
– Promoters, engineers, photographers, and organizers
– The listening community that gives these spaces meaning
Every feature is grounded in why it matters to be there — not just who’s playing.
Local music doesn’t fail because of a lack of talent.
It fails when rooms are empty.
Attendance is the difference between:
– A venue staying open or closing
– A band growing or leaving town
– A scene evolving or disappearing
The Vegas Room is built to remind listeners that their presence matters.
– No Strip residencies
– No tourist lounge coverage
– No pay-to-play promotion disguised as journalism.
– Clear disclosure on sponsored or community-supported features.
We aim to document honestly, respect the community, and stay accountable to the people who show up.
– Attend shows
– Support local rooms
– Share the work
– Submit artists, venues, and stories worth documenting
– If the room’s alive, the scene survives.
Who runs this site?
The Vegas Room is founded and edited by Dee Stiff, a Las Vegas-based musician actively involved in the local music scene.
This platform is not built to promote any single band.
It’s built to preserve a culture.
Occasionally, the editor’s perspective appears in long-form essays about life inside the scene. Any direct involvement is disclosed.
