Vegas Beer destinations?

Going to Vegas this weekend and looking for recommendations for a good place to find a great beer or three near the strip. Ideas?

The pub at Monte Carlo

Todd English P.U.B. at Crystals

The strip is a big place. Where are you going to be hanging out the most?

Subscribed. Heading out there next month.

Venetian is where well be staying.

Todd English isn't TOOO far, but it's still a bit of a hike. Worth a look, plus if you can down a pint in less than 4 seconds, it's free.

You'll need the advice of a local though. If you're hell bent on a beer-tasting experience, you'll probably have to head off-strip somewhere. If you can't get a good answer before you go, just ask the cab drivers - they're pretty solid with advice.

As my business travel increases I find myself using three tools to narrow down the field.

The Pub at Monte Carlo was the best I found. There is also the Burger Bar at Monterrey Bay. I hear there is a good place at the Wynn but it is probably fairly pricey. There's a couple places off the strip that name-wise allude me. There is a hofbrau beer garden a block off a strip.

There is some beer event each weekend from Thursday-Sunday at a hotel behind Bally's. I forget all the other details but you can Google them.

Thanks for the input!

If you don't mind taking a 10 minute cab ride then go to The Yardhouse. More than 100 beers on tap. It's about 4 miles south of Mandalay Bay on Las Vegas Blvd., inside a shopping center called Townsquare.

Houfbrau house! not sure if i spelled this right but it rocks!

A lot of people are recommending Hofbrauhaus, and I won't deter you from going there, but just realize that they only serve their own beer. So it's really only around 4 selections. Plus the prices are really high. The best bargain is to buy the beer by the liter, but it's still around 16 bucks. And a liter is only a little more than 2 pints. The atmosphere is usually really cool there, but for the beer selection and prices, I would look elsewhere.

I enjoyed my night at the Freakin' Frog. It's off strip, so a cab ride to and form is in order, but they have a pretty decent selection of beer on tap and their walk-in cooler has a better selection than the specialty beer stores around here. Take that with a grain of salt, as here in BC we have to deal with the Liquor Distribution Branch, but my point is that I had a good time and drank some good beer. They also have a whisky tasting room upstairs with an equally (if not more) impressive selection.
