10 Best Breweries in McCarran International Airport

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Even those who are not a hop head are still in luck at this hop-forward brewery, which produces not just citrusy IPAs and herbal pale ales, but also reds and Dunkelweizens. Food trucks, a large bar, and a patio round out the offerings. Also at Tivoli Village."

In true Las Vegas fashion, the owner and founder took a big gamble: he sold his house and spent every dollar in his bank account to fund his dream of opening a brewery."

"Rounding out the Henderson Booze District and one of the many Las Vegas breweries, Mojave Brewing’s founder spent 30 years brewing, drinking, and sharing his own beer with friends before starting the process of beginning his own brewery. His internships took him to some well-known and high-profile breweries before finally starting his own in the historic Henderson neighborhood. The tasting room has a patio and even uses an abandoned bank vault as a private tasting area for members of its Founders Club."

"John Griffith has been sharing his own home brews with family and friends for more than 30 years. Griff got so good at it, he was convinced to open his own place -- Mojave Brewing Company, renovated from an old Bank of America building in Henderson’s historic Water Street district. It’s an engaging, industrial space with roll-up, garage-style doors, bistro string lights, and a long patio where doggies are welcome."

"CraftHaus Brewery was founded by Dave and Wyndee Forrest, a husband and wife inspired by the craft beer culture in Europe. The brewery established the first taproom in the Henderson Booze District, emphasizing a social sense of community in place of gaming machines. A second taproom opened last year in the Downtown Arts District, featuring local artwork and a specialized Czech tap that controls the flow of foam to beer for an authentic slow-pour pilsner."

"The super-fun, passionate, and talented team at CraftHaus is enthusiastic to share their craft with visitors. The owners were inspired by the beer culture they saw while making their way across Europe, so visitors to the Artisan Booze District can have a truly international experience.

It’s more affordable than some of the other breakfast restaurants inside MGM properties, and a traditional steak and eggs meal with potatoes will only set you back $25. If you like mimosas in the morning (who doesn’t?), you can order the all-you-can-drink mimosa package for just $35."

"Opened in September of 2017, Primrose at Park MGM feels like you stepped into a cozy country home with its drawing room, dining room, and unexpectedly lush poolside garden terrace. The Provence-inspired all-day menu includes a little bit of everything, from omelettes and buttermilk pancakes to fresh salads, sandwiches, and pasta. Patrick Michael Chin"

"Located on the 23rd floor of the Waldorf Astoria, Twist by Pierre Gagnaire boasts an innovative menu that infuses the simplicity of classic French cuisine with a modern spin--a fusion for which the three-star Michelin chef is revered in today's culinary world. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a dramatic glass staircase leading up to a suspended wine loft, the restaurant's most striking feature is arguably its lighting, which incorporates more than 300 gold globes designed to look as if they're floating in the air across the ceiling. Menu selections change seasonally, though Twist always showcases the finest cuts of beef available."

"If Robuchon is the most elaborate and Savoy the most elegant of Vegas's great restaurants, Gagnaire matches them for the creativity of its cuisine, which is often as baffling as it is exhilarating. One look at his scallop carpaccio with Campari or mushroom broth zézette tells you that you're in the hands of the enfant terrible of French cooking. The years haven't dimmed Gagnaire's incessant search for astounding edibles and his Nebraska sirloin with escargot sauce and venison ice-cream provides a window into the intellectual curiosity that drives his talent."

"Set above the brightly lit Strip on the 23rd floor of the Waldorf Astoria, French chef Pierre Gagnaire’s Twist is a bright, creative culinary journey through French flavors and techniques, including lobster fricassee, foie gras and a chocolate souffle."

"Executive chef Gregory Pugin took the helm here early in 2011, bringing a modern, lighter sensibility to Le Cirque's food that's long overdue. You can still get classics like blanquette de lapin" and Le Cirque lobster salad, but one bite of his langoustines with caviar, passion fruit, apples and vodka gelée will bring tears to the eyes of even the most jaded gourmets. The service staff is virtually unchanged in 12 years, sommelier Freddy Montandon still charms the ladies while convincing the captains of American industry to order something other than a boring old California cab, and the whole place buzzes with an intimacy that is without peer in Sin City. Save room for Philippe Angibeau's drop-dead desserts.

"Colorful fabric hangs from the ceiling at this AAA Five Diamond Award-rated, Michelin star awarded French restaurant at the Bellagio, creating a canopy-like effect inside the dining room. Through the window are views of the resort’s famous dancing fountains.
