great thread!! i typically spend about 3 months of my life in vegas a year, and although i will prolly get a bunch of crap for this, i usually spend most of the time in whatever hotel i got put in....(i am there to make money, not spend it)
now i cant wait to go back and try some of these places!! but once again, as murphey's law would have it, the plane is down for its major scheduled maintenance, and i wont be able to try any of these places for another couple weeks....they are on my list of things to do though for sure!

Bump. I'm heading to Vegas for a wedding the first week of October. I'm starting my research now and will definitely hit Sin City and Freakin Frog.

Ellis Island casino brews their own. Also as mentioned earlier, the 777 at Main Street Station, downtown. Hit them up at happy hour, used to be imperial pints for 2 bucks but now they are down to 16 0z. Check out their website. I will be there the 1st week of Oct. for the bikefest, staying at the Plaza, so it's just a short crawl to the 777. Be aware that a lot of places charge an exhorbitant amount of $$ for their "premium" beers. If you don't mind drinking a few BMC beers there are plenty of 1 and 2 dollar deals all over town.

Nice. I'll be there October 1-4 for the wedding and it happens to be bikefest! That's badass. I'm looking forward to a weekend of bikes and beers, with a wedding thrown into the mix.

There's a new way, way off-strip place called M that has a good selection of quality craft and import beers that they will comp if you're playing table games or slots or whatever. It's way south of the strip though.
I just remembered something about the Chicago Brewery, the little pub they have in the Four Queens downtown. Last time I was in there I orders a wheat for the OL and a lager for myself, 2 pints, 8 bucks. Yea, a little steep, the next round I ordered another wheat for the OL and an IPA for myself, 12 bucks. I asked the 'tender if he made a mistake and he said no, there was a hops shortage and they HAD to raise the price on hoppy beers. I said 100% a pint, told him they were full of s**t and walked out. Just so ya know, ask the price first.
