Bingo is more than just a casino game. It's played in numerous venues around the US, from community centers to churches.
While it’s not the epitome of casino gambling in Las Vegas, there is a demand for it. Nevada casinos took in $44.6 million from bingo in 2023, a 3.8% increase from the previous year.
To put that in perspective, bingo revenue is about 10% of what casinos bring in from craps and roulette, and almost double what the house wins from horse racing, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
While that might not be enough to get luxe resorts to invest in high-stakes, high-tech bingo rooms, the game is available at 17 locations throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Only one of these bingo rooms is on the Las Vegas Strip.
Arguably the most family-friendly of all casino games, bingo appeals to younger and older players alike. A typical session consists of playing multiple games for about 45-60 minutes. At most places, you can daub on paper or just watch an electronic version play out.
It’s a relatively inexpensive way to gamble for a short spell while having a couple of complimentary drinks before hitting the town, or for morning players, free coffee and donuts.
Circus Circus is home to the only Las Vegas Strip bingo room. Its return in 2026 marked the first time in 20 years that a Strip casino offered the game.
Bingo is only available on weekends. Friday and Saturday sessions are at 3 p.m., 5 p.m., and 7 p.m., while Sunday games are played at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m.
The 225-seat bingo room offers a traditional paper-only game, with no themed nights or electronic bingo cards available.
Like most things on the Strip, the price is higher than it is away from the main tourist corridor. Each session at Circus Circus is $30. By comparison, Palace Station is less than 10 minutes away, and bingo packs there start at $5 per session.
While Circus Circus is now home to the Strip's only bingo room, players looking for more frequent sessions or lower prices will find several nearby options just off Las Vegas Boulevard. Just off the Strip, across the I-15 highway, are two of the best bingo rooms in town:
Gold Coast boasts the largest bingo room in Nevada, with 720 seats and 8 games every day.
And Palace Station provides a spruced-up 356-seat bingo room with a similar 7-day-a-week schedule. Because it’s part of the Stations Casinos family, it offers shared progressive prize pools and jackpots.
Downtown, the Plaza Hotel & Casino has long been known as one of the most popular bingo destinations in Las Vegas.
The vast majority of bingo in Las Vegas is at casinos 10-25 minutes away from the Vegas Strip.
The room at Red Rock in Summerlin seats 610 players, making it one of the biggest.
Suncoast (also in Summerlin) is building a new Bingo room on the main casino floor in the space that was recently made available when the sportsbook moved to a new location. It’s scheduled to open in 2025.
Across town in Henderson, Green Valley Ranch has a thoroughly modern 400-seat lounge, with plenty of large screens to play on … while Sunset Station is proud of its newly remodeled 450-seat bingo, and its status as the only “All Paper” bingo in southern Nevada.
Other places the bingo in and around Las Vegas (but away from the Strip) include:
Bingo is often a low-roller game. Players can get into a session for as little as $4 at most Las Vegas-area properties.
A few casinos offer big-money bingo games with five- and six-figure prize pools. Yes, players from around the country travel to Las Vegas just for the chance to play bingo for prizes of $100,000 or more.
The South Point casino runs bingo promotions for big-money games throughout the year. The prize pool for “The Extravaganza,” for example, offers $2 million. But the buy-in for this event is $495.
Once a month, the Plaza offers Super Bingo. The buy-in for the $160,000 Bingo prize pool is $160. In addition to a chance to win a large prize, players receive lunch and enjoy an open bar. Individual bingo game prizes are as high as $5,000.
Station Casinos offers bingo at six different properties around Las Vegas. With shared prize pools Each one can have six-figure progressive Bingo jackpots available throughout the day. There are also smaller jackpots available starting at $500.
Most of the Station Casinos properties offer unique bingo events, such as Rock Shock Bingo, with live DJs and special prizes. Station Casinos has been known to have special themed Bingo games as well.
Playing Bingo itself isn’t complicated. However, there are a handful of events leading up to playing the game in a Las Vegas casino that new players should know.
When entering the Bingo room in a Las Vegas casino, players should head to the front desk to check in. There are sometimes long lines, so there could be a wait to sit down to play.
The check-in area is where a player chooses between traditional paper cards and an electronic board to play the game. This is an important step that many new players may not be expecting.
Electronic games are easier to manage. There’s almost no work to do with electronic bingo cards, since the machine marks them for the players.
While electronic boards are generally more expensive than playing with paper cards, casinos sometimes offer discounted packages to incentivize electronic play.
Players who select paper must also purchase a dauber to mark the numbers. These cost usually $1 each and can be brought home and used for your next session at any other bingo room.
Using paper can be more cumbersome since the player has to keep track of multiple cards and daub the numbers. It’s a popular way for low rollers to get into the game, but can turn quite stressful for those looking to socialize while playing since there’s little time between numbers being called.
Regardless of which type of card a player chooses, they will have to select a card pack to play. There are typically four different color card packs that cost different amounts and have different prizes. The options are usually:
Casinos also offer rainbow packs that include all colors. The more the card pack costs, the higher the prize payout.
Casinos may also offer bonuses for certain numbers. These may be called a Cashball or Hotball.
There are different types of bingo games, so players should make sure to listen to the announcements before each one. Sometimes a player simply needs to mark B-I-N-G-O on the card. Different games may require multiple lines, all corners, or all squares (coverall) before a winner can call out “bingo!”
