10 Best Breweries in Las Vegas

"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."

"Appropriately named, Beer District Brewing is located at the top of the Arts District in Las Vegas, which boasts 5 other Las Vegas breweries within a half-mile of each other. Hooray for walking between the Las Vegas breweries!. A lengthy tap list can sometimes be seen as negative: jack of all trades, master of none."

"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."

"This family-owned and operated brewery has been around for nearly two decades, moving Downtown after outgrowing its previous facility in the northwest valley. It’s not your typical Las Vegas watering hole: no gaming, smoking, or liquor. Just great craft beer and a little bit of wine."

"Blame Hop Nuts for kicking off the local beer craze in the Downtown Arts District. The name pays tribute to the brewery's Green Mamba Double IPA -- a hop-heavy West Coast-style DIPA that scores extremely high on the IBU scale. (That’s International Bitterness Units, so consider yourself warned.) A second taproom is now open in the west valley at Tivoli Village."

"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!"

"Banger Brewing sits right along Fremont Street, one of the most eclectic, interesting, and happening streets in all of the United States. Fremont Street is Old Town Vegas and dates back to when Las Vegas itself was originally founded. It was the first paved street in Sin City and even had the first traffic light."

"Beer styles at this brewery, named for partner/brewer Michael "Banger" Beaman, are rarely conventional, with twists such as a jalapeño Hefeweizen or a watermelon wheat. Online ordering available. Find it at Neonopolis on the Fremont Street Experience."

"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. The city of Henderson isn’t too far from McCarran International Airport and neither is its Artisan Booze District, which includes Crafthaus Brewery, Bad Beat Brewing, Las Vegas Distillery, and Vegas Valley Winery."

"Astronomy Aleworks features a 10 BBL brewery at the rear and a tap room at the front, offering seating at the bar, or chairs and tables by the windows. ​Speed of Light Kolsch, ​Monoceros Double IPA, Hawking Hazy Pale, Pluto IS A Planet, Moons of Uranus, and ​Ursa Minor Cascadian Dark Ale are among the brewery’s own beers on tap."

"Spend a few minutes talking to The Mad Fermentist himself and you’ll come to find that he just absolutely loves craft beer. He’s well-traveled, having been born on an Air Force base in Germany and traveling through Europe for the first portion of his life, and those life experiences come through in all of his beer. Located above the Three Sheets Craft Beer Bar in the Arts District, The Mad Fermentist brews its beer down in Henderson at Mojave Brewing and has a pretty diverse lineup."

"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."

"This poker-themed brewery has year-round beers like Ace in the Hole, a basil pale ale, and seasonals including Morning Pay Off, an imperial breakfast stout. Sample them in the tasting room while playing card games, darts, shuffleboard, and even an old school Nintendo. Growlers available to go."

"Nevada Brew Works shares a wall and patio with HUDL Brewing and is the senior member of the two, which is saying something since they only opened one month prior in September 2020. So still fairly new to the Las Vegas breweries scene. A tap list features a handful of their house brews and several guest taps as well, both local and regional."

"A dog-friendly patio with an eye-catching silo makes the perfect spot to drink an Irish red, Hefeweizen, or oatmeal stout brewed on site."

"Mon-Thu: 11 am to 12 am; Fri & Sat: 11 am to 1 am: Sun: 10 am to 12 am"

"The L.A. Comedy Club is located inside the world-famous Stratosphere. One of the most recognizable structures in Vegas, the “Strat” is a must-see. The club itself is located inside the Stratosphere’s 160-seat Dragon Room."

"Venue: L.A. Comedy Club At The Stratosphere Hotel and Casino. Show Times: There are shows 8:00 pm nightly (7 days per week), with additional 10:00 pm show (Friday and Saturday)"

"You can’t take a trip to Las Vegas without seeing at least one Cirque du Soleil show. KA at MGM Grand is the story of twins who must go on an epic journey in fulfillment of their destinies. The production features martial arts, pyrotechnics and aerial adventures throughout the entire theater space."

"Another famous and historic piece of architecture by Paul Revere Williams is the Guardian Angel Cathedral, developed in 1961 on land donated by the gangster and casino owner Moe Dalitz, otherwise known as Mr. Las Vegas. When Williams began to work on this unique building, he decided to go with an A-Frame design, giving the church muralist a triangle canvas to paint the Guardian Angel on the outside of the building. You can still find the Guardian Angel Cathedral sitting close to the Strip, at 302 Cathedral Way."

"A four-sided spire capped with a cross is located to the front left of the cathedral. At its base is a statue of the Holy Family. There is a large mosaic over the main entrance of the cathedral by Los Angeles artist Edith Piczek."

"To the immediate south of The Strip, is one of the holiest sites for Roman Catholics in Las Vegas. The sculptures around the church are truly reflective of man’s ability with stone. Amidst the chaos of the Sin City, this beautiful church offers solitude and peace."

"They are regarded as one of the best Churches in Boulder City area. Their phone number is (702) 293-2018. Read more about Grace Community Church in Boulder City, NV"

"It may not be something that springs to mind immediately, but the ARIA Resort Buffet has a number of sushi and sashimi options available daily. On the menu you’ll also find miso soup and seaweed salad. For the sushi lover that also likes a Mexican, Chinese, Pizza, and Mediterranean food, the ARIA Buffet is a great choice for options."

"The Aria Buffet has always been a fan favorite for its huge variety of foods for you to choose from. Here you can find foods from all over the world as the sections are split accordingly to different regions. So no matter where in the world you come from, you will always have something that is suited for you."

"Did you even really experience Las Vegas, if you didn’t indulge at a Vegas buffet?. Las Vegas buffets are unlike anything else in the world… there is so much choice and it’s a dessert-lovers ideal situation!"
