"Beer District Brewing is the combined forces of Jim Doyle and Clyde Lipp, who together have won dozens of homebrew competitions around the country over the past 10 years. The new venture has 21 ambitious brews on tap, covering a lot of ground with small-batch recipes and a beer list that changes frequently. The operation, which opened in February, is already drawing especially strong attention for its dark beers."

"The donuts at District: Donuts, Sliders, Brews basically blew our minds. The cookies and cream donut was phenomenal and the cinnamon roll was the best we’ve ever had anywhere. You can find these donuts in the Cosmopolitan Resort."

"Another Downtown Las Vegas hotspot for unforgettable craft beer is Tenaya Creek Brewery. With a wide variety of tap beers and even some bottles and cans to choose from, you’ll be able to find exactly what you didn’t even know what you were looking for when it comes to an amazing beer. Unique, award winning beer would not be possible without an amazing team, and Tenaya Creek Brewery consists of some of the finest brew masters in the city."

"Located about a mile from Old Town Las Vegas (aka Fremont), Tenaya Creek Brewery is one of the award-winning Las Vegas breweries with chill vibes and good craft beer. Enjoy a flight of 5 or a pint of beer off of their large list of in-house brews and several guest taps. Their Pilsner won gold at the Great American Beer Festival and is one of the few craft pilsners that we have found to really enjoy."

"Find a dozen of Tenaya Creek's own brews on 24 taps along with bottles from other craft beers such as Joseph James, Deschutes, Left Hand, and Victory."

"Your next stop for great beer in Las Vegas is Hop Nuts Brewing located in the Las Vegas Arts District of Downtown. If you couldn’t guess it from the name, this brewery specializes in hop-driven beers such as citrusy IPAs. But, this isn’t all they have to offer their guests!"

Currently ranking with 4 ½ stars on Yelp, Banger Brewing is the perfect place to wet your whistle with a Las Vegas local craft beer.

"This Henderson micro-brewery is dedicated to providing quality beers to the masses. The first taproom and brewery in the Artisan Booze District, there are several year-round brews and seasonal beers, and guest taps are also offered.

"It started with a coupon for a five-gallon beer kit and quickly grew into a full-blown operation in his garage. Hall developed his own recipes and tested them out with friends during UFC viewing parties. He was encouraged to open his own brewery -- which finally happened after selling his house."

"While there aren’t a ton of vegan options at Hofbrauhaus, the experience alone is worth the trip there. Being a traditional German/Bavarian beer hall, you can expect the beers to be as large as the portions and that rings true here. The vegan schnitzel is one of the better dishes on their vegan menu but they also have vegan frankfurters smothered in a curry sauce."

"Hofbrauhaus is a German restaurant that goes beyond your standard theme restaurant and delivers an entirely immersive experience. First, the communal dining environment means you better come prepared to make some new friends because the person sitting next to you at Hofbrauhaus is your new bestie."

"Located in Henderson’s Booze District, Astronomy Aleworkscreates “works of fermented art using keen scientific principles inspired by the hard-working men and women who labored to bring the stars and planets closer to our hearts”. Astronauts, for those who didn’t get the fancy wording. We sat next to one of the founders/brewers when we visited and he answered the question (from someone else) of “Why the name, Astronomy Aleworks?"

"One of the best parts of Las Vegas is the cheap flights running nearly round the clock. It affords the opportunity to extend a trip for a few extra hours for a bit more fun.

"Along with CraftHaus and Bad Beat, Astronomy Aleworks is one of three beer producers in the Henderson Booze District. The brewery has a sci-fi theme, but also describes itself as “science based” -- having hosted events with UNLV astronomy students and guest professors in the past. Special brews change every week or two and a canned rye IPA is in the works for the fall."

"Carlo’s Bakery has been making lobster tails, a pastry shaped like a lobster tail and stuffed with French cream and whipped cream, for over 100 years!. Tucked in the Venetian, these beautifully crafted pastries emulate the Italian sfogliatelle pastry. The sfogliatelle dough is definitely something you couldn’t replicate at home unless you are a baker extraordinaire."
