About We All Scream
We All Scream is an indoor-outdoor nightclub, event space, art installation and ice cream parlor at 517 Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. As of August 23, 2026, it remains open under the We All Scream name, with regular weekend nightlife, special Thursday events and ice cream service throughout the week. Its defining spaces are a street-level parlor and lounge, a mural-covered back patio with a vintage dairy truck DJ booth, and an open-air rooftop dance floor anchored by a giant ice cream cone-shaped booth.
The property continues the entertainment history of the former Beauty Bar, which opened at this address during Fremont East’s early redevelopment and combined retro salon décor, cocktails, DJs and live music. Beauty Bar closed on April 5, 2019, after losing its temporary liquor license and receiving an eviction notice. We All Scream was announced in 2020 as a transformation of the former Beauty Bar and neighboring Don’t Tell Mama spaces, but pandemic-era construction delayed the project. Its public grand opening ultimately took place in early May 2022.
Published size and capacity figures require context. Opening materials describe a 10,000-square-foot compound and a 1,000-person nightclub, while the project contractor identifies 6,000 square feet of principal construction: a 2,000-square-foot interior and 4,000-square-foot rooftop. A Las Vegas convention listing gives more conservative private-event limits of 500 standing and 100 seated. Capacity therefore depends on which zones are operating, production requirements and the event permit; visitors should not assume every ticketed night admits 1,000 people.
Events and Programming
Electronic music dominates the calendar, especially dubstep, riddim, bass music, drum and bass, house and open-format club sets. Thursday’s recurring SINEMA series has been particularly important, bringing developing and established bass artists into a smaller downtown environment. Friday and Saturday programming is broader, moving among house, hip-hop, throwbacks, local DJs and themed parties. The venue also accommodates Pride celebrations, private receptions, daytime community gatherings and occasional pop-ups.
There were no regular public performances here in 2021 because construction was still underway. The 2022 opening season included Airwolf at the grand opening, followed by artists such as Will Clarke, GG Magree, Zeke Beats, Smoakland, HUGEL, Jantsen and Ace Aura. The 2023 calendar expanded significantly, documenting more than 40 shows and appearances by A-Trak, Amtrac, Justin Martin, Ookay, Rusko, Aluna, Derrick Carter, Will Sparks, Crankdat, SubDocta and others.
Programming in 2024 remained heavily bass-oriented, with documented sets from Borgore, FuntCase, Spag Heddy, Nostalgix, LUUDE, YOOKiE, EPROM, Levity and AC Slater. Public records for 2025 are less complete but include BAYNK, Wenzday, Grabbitz, Vastive, rooftop house parties and the recurring Meltdown format. In 2026, the calendar has continued with bass, dubstep, drum-and-bass and house bookings, including SINEMA editions and later-year appearances announced through December. No verified 2027 or later program had been published by August 23, 2026.
Tickets and Booking
Tickets for promoted shows are generally sold online through the event’s authorized primary outlet, while ordinary club nights may use paid admission, an advance guest list or door entry. Early tiers are normally the least expensive. Independent nightlife guides report roughly $30 to $75 for door admission on some nights, with about $40 often cited as a typical cover, but local-DJ nights and advance promotions can cost less. Pricing rises for major artists, holiday weekends and festival periods.
For a popular bass booking, buy during the first release rather than relying on the door. Ticketed events are usually general admission, and published event terms commonly make sales final except when an event is canceled. Private groups can reserve booths, rooftop tables or arrange a full or partial buyout; minimum spending and included services vary by date, location and party size.
Seating, Layout and Production
We All Scream is primarily a standing and dancing venue rather than a seated concert hall. The ground floor contains the parlor, bar and a small number of booths. The back patio provides a broad dance area around the dairy truck stage. Upstairs, the rooftop is largely open dance floor, with limited perimeter benches, couches and reservable tables. The rooftop offers the clearest view of the cone booth and downtown skyline; the patio feels more enclosed and places the crowd closer to the second DJ position.
The audio installation is unusually substantial for a venue of this size. Published specifications include Pioneer XY-3B tops, XY-218HS dual 18-inch horn-loaded subwoofers, XY-122, XY-118S, XY-81 and XY-115S components, plus VOID Venu 208 and Venu 212 speakers. Processing and amplification include a QSC Core 110i and Powersoft X8, X4, X4L and K10 DSP units. An installation case study lists eight XY-3B speakers, ten XY-218HS subwoofers and distributed speakers serving the parlor, stairs and restrooms.
Lighting is integrated into the venue rather than treated as a separate arena-scale show. The rooftop cone has LED “sprinkles” synchronized with the music, while neon, rainbow lighting, illuminated murals, patio string lights and ambient fixtures distinguish the different zones. The contractor also installed custom lighting and reinforced the rooftop with structural steel. No reliable public room dimensions, lighting fixture inventory or detailed stage plot has been released.
Getting There and Parking
We All Scream is in Fremont East, a short walk east from the Fremont Street Experience canopy. The closest convenient surface option is the Triple B Lot on South Sixth Street, behind the businesses facing Fremont. Its posted rate is $5 per hour with a $30 daily maximum; it operates 24 hours, accommodates oversized vehicles and does not permit in-and-out access.
The larger Fremont Street Experience garage at 111 South Fourth Street is approximately a five- to seven-minute walk. As of August 2026, standard rates run from $5 for the first 30 minutes to $25 for three to 24 hours. It has more than 1,300 spaces, elevators on each floor and decreasing clearances from eight to seven feet on upper levels. Major events can produce special flat rates and slow exits.
From the Strip, the Deuce bus serves the Fremont Street Experience stops on Las Vegas Boulevard and nearby downtown streets; walk east along Fremont after getting off. The service operates 24 hours, approximately every 10 to 15 minutes from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. and every 20 minutes overnight. Visitor fares in August 2026 are $4 for one ride, $6 for two hours, $8 for 24 hours and $20 for three days.
Rideshare and taxi access is straightforward, although Fremont Street traffic becomes congested late at night. A legal pickup point on Sixth Street or Carson Avenue can be easier than waiting directly in front of the club. There is no dedicated venue parking lot or consistently documented private rideshare lane.
Inside the Venue
Expect an ID check, security screening and a possible line shared with guests visiting the ice cream counter. The official schedule currently lists the nightclub bar from 10 p.m. until late on Friday and Saturday, plus select holidays and promoted event nights. Ice cream hours are noon to 11 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and noon to 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. Event schedules can override these regular hours.
The parlor serves rotating premium ice cream, including dairy and vegan choices, while the bars offer cocktails, beer, spirits and bottle service. Historically, boozy shakes and seasonal ice cream cocktails have also formed part of the concept. Recent visitors praise the unusual flavors and rooftop atmosphere, although reviews are mixed about drink prices, crowding, security interactions and line organization.
Nearby Amenities
Fremont East has numerous pre-show options within a few blocks. Eureka is directly across Fremont Street, while Hot Noods and Carson Kitchen are short walks away. Additional bars, casual restaurants and late-night counters line Fremont between Las Vegas Boulevard and Seventh Street. Nearby lodging includes El Cortez to the east and the Downtown Grand, The D, Golden Nugget, Circa and other Fremont Street hotel-casinos to the west.
Arrive 60 to 90 minutes before a major DJ if you want dinner nearby, and enter the club near opening if rooftop position matters. After the show, rideshare prices may surge, but the Deuce remains a 24-hour alternative for returning toward the Strip.
What Makes We All Scream Special
The venue’s strongest visual element is its art. Spanish duo PichiAvo created five exterior murals combining graffiti with Apollo, Eros, Aphrodite and Athena, while Brazilian collective Bicicleta Sem Freio contributed other large-scale work. The art continues from the alley to the rooftop, turning circulation space into part of the experience rather than merely decorating the dance floors.
Its ice cream operation was created with a public-art mission, using proceeds to help fund work by artists around downtown Las Vegas. We All Scream has also hosted a Las Vegas Pride parade after-party and gives touring electronic artists a mid-sized alternative to casino mega-clubs. No independent economic-impact total is publicly available, but the project visibly reactivated two former bar spaces, employs nightlife and event workers, attracts visitors into Fremont East and connects commercial activity with public-art funding.
Visitor Tips and Information
Nightclub events are generally 21 and older and require a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID. The daytime creamery can operate separately, but under-21 visitors should not expect to remain when age-restricted nightlife begins. Dress is more relaxed than at many Strip clubs, although clean casual or creative nightlife clothing is safest; avoid swimwear, beachwear, flip-flops and overt athletic clothing.
A new elevator installed during construction connects the venue’s levels and was specifically designed for ADA compliance. Third-party business listings also report wheelchair access and gender-neutral restrooms. However, the venue does not publish a detailed accessible-viewing map, so guests who require a guaranteed elevator route, companion position or specific restroom arrangement should confirm it before their event.
A complete official bag, camera and re-entry policy is not publicly consolidated. Bring the smallest bag possible, expect inspection and assume re-entry is not guaranteed, particularly at promoted shows. Personal phone photography is common because the venue is highly visual, but professional cameras, tripods and commercial filming equipment may require advance authorization. The rooftop and patio are exposed to weather, so summer heat, wind or rain can change which areas are comfortable or available. ticketfairy.com
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is We All Scream in Las Vegas?
We All Scream is at 517 Fremont Street in the Fremont East Entertainment District, just east of Las Vegas Boulevard. It is outside the covered Fremont Street Experience but close enough to walk between the two areas in several minutes. Look for the colorful façade, murals and entrance among the bars and restaurants near Sixth Street.
Is We All Scream still open in 2026?
Yes. The venue is open and trading under the We All Scream name as of August 23, 2026. Its published schedule includes regular Friday and Saturday nightlife, special event nights and ice cream service throughout the week. Electronic-music events have also been announced through the end of 2026.
How many people does We All Scream hold?
Capacity figures vary by source and configuration. Operator material has described it as a 1,000-person nightclub, while the Las Vegas convention listing states 500 standing or 100 seated for group events. A ticketed show may use only certain rooms, and production equipment can further reduce capacity, so the event-specific limit is the meaningful number.
Is the venue indoors or outdoors?
It is both. The street-level ice cream parlor and lounge are indoors, while the back patio and rooftop dance floor are open-air. This gives visitors different sound and temperature environments in one night. The rooftop is a major attraction, but wind, rain, extreme heat or production decisions can affect access to outdoor areas.
What kind of music does We All Scream play?
The most consistent programming is electronic music, particularly dubstep, riddim, bass, drum and bass, house and open-format DJ sets. Thursday promoted shows commonly emphasize heavier bass music, while weekend club nights may include hip-hop, throwbacks, funk, pop and local DJs. Multiple active areas can offer different sounds during the same event.
What time do headliners usually perform?
Promoted events commonly advertise doors around 10 p.m., but the main artist may not appear until after midnight. Set times vary and are not always released publicly. Arriving by 10:30 or 11 p.m. provides time to clear security, explore the patio and rooftop, and secure a comfortable position before the busiest portion of the night.
Are shows at We All Scream general admission?
Most public DJ events use standing general admission. A ticket normally provides access to the active public areas rather than an assigned chair or reserved position. Booths and rooftop tables are separate premium reservations. Guests who want flexibility should use general admission; groups wanting a home base, seating or dedicated service should investigate table options.
Does We All Scream have a strict dress code?
The atmosphere is generally more relaxed than a large Strip nightclub. Clean casual clothing, fashionable streetwear and playful outfits usually suit the space. Published guides advise against beachwear, pool clothing and athletic attire. Because door personnel retain discretion, avoid flip-flops, dirty clothing, excessively baggy sportswear or anything likely to create a safety problem on crowded stairs and dance floors.
Can visitors under 21 buy ice cream?
The creamery operates during daytime and early-evening hours independently from many nightclub events, so under-21 visitors may be able to purchase ice cream before age-restricted operations begin. They should not expect access to the bars, dance floors or late-night events. On promoted dates, security arrangements and entry lines can change, so daytime is the simplest time for a family visit.
Is We All Scream wheelchair accessible?
The renovation included an elevator connecting the venue’s levels, installed specifically for ADA compliance and guest convenience. Business listings also identify the property as wheelchair accessible. Because the rooftop, crowd barriers and table placements can change by event, guests needing a particular viewing location or companion space should verify how that night’s floor plan will be arranged.
Where is the best place to stand for the DJ?
On the rooftop, stand near the cone booth for the strongest visual connection to the performer, or use the outer edge for more breathing room and skyline views. On the patio, the dairy truck booth creates a closer, more enclosed experience. People sensitive to heavy bass should avoid standing directly in front of the large subwoofer arrays.
What is the closest parking to We All Scream?
The Triple B surface lot on South Sixth Street is among the closest paid options and operates around the clock. Its posted rate is $5 per hour, capped at $30 daily, with no in-and-out privileges. The larger Fremont Street Experience garage on South Fourth Street is farther away but offers covered parking, elevators and more than 1,300 spaces.
Can I take public transportation from the Strip?
Yes. The Deuce travels between the Strip and downtown 24 hours a day. Exit at a Fremont Street Experience stop near Las Vegas Boulevard, then walk east along Fremont Street to the venue. Service is generally every 10 to 15 minutes during the day and evening and approximately every 20 minutes during the overnight period.
Does We All Scream serve food?
The everyday specialty is ice cream rather than a full restaurant menu. Rotating scoops, vegan selections, shakes and occasional alcohol-based dessert drinks have been part of the concept. Private events may arrange more substantial food service, but concert visitors planning a full meal should eat at one of the nearby Fremont East restaurants before entering.
Is there seating for people who do not want to dance?
Seating exists but is limited relative to the venue’s standing capacity. The ground floor has a small number of booths, while the rooftop has perimeter benches, couches and reservable tables. General-admission guests should not depend on finding an open seat during a busy show. A reserved table is the more reliable option for anyone who needs a consistent place to sit.
Can We All Scream host weddings or private parties?
Yes. The venue accepts private-event inquiries and has hosted wedding receptions, birthdays and corporate-style gatherings. A recent wedding review described a reception for approximately 38 guests that moved indoors successfully when rain disrupted rooftop plans. Available zones, catering, specialty cocktails, DJs and open-bar arrangements depend on the package and event date.
Are the rooftop murals visible without attending a nightclub event?
Some exterior artwork can be viewed from surrounding public areas, but murals extending through the patio and rooftop generally require venue access. Daytime creamery service does not guarantee that every entertainment area will be open. Visitors primarily interested in the complete PichiAvo installation should attend when the rooftop and patio are operating rather than assuming daytime access.
What should first-time visitors bring?
Bring a valid photo ID, a payment card, comfortable dancing shoes and only essential personal items. Earplugs are sensible because the system is built around numerous high-output tops and dual 18-inch subwoofers. During warm months, hydrate before arrival; during cooler or windy weather, bring a light layer because both main dance areas are outdoors.
