I'm headed to Vegas next week, and was wondering where the best places are to chill out and have a few draft beers. I'm not a beer snob by any means - just looking for good atmosphere and a decent selection. Thanks!

Just to make sure, you are saying "draft beer", not "craft beer"?

There's a Yard House inside the Linq that has like 150 beers on tap.

There's also Tag Sports Bar that used to be just a quick stumble from the old poker room.

For cheapness and quality:

Ellis Island ($2.25/20oz beer).
Main Street Station happy hour if you want to class it up ($3/23oz beer).
Pub 365 happy hour in Tuscany if you want to class it up to the max ($3.65/pint).

Public House near Venetian. Other threads on this as well.

They have a really nice selection of cans/bottles but "only" ~20 beers on tap. They are also craft beer focused and prices reflect that.

(If nothing changed over the last two years)

I 2nd both Ellis island. Cheap good beer. (Side note, awesome rib platters!) and yard house close to the linq. Biggest selection of draft beers I've ever seen. Cool atmosphere.

I went to the Beer Park right across from Bellagio and it was pretty good. Had good selection (website says 36 on tap and over 100 available), its outdoors, and great location.

If you're looking for straight draft selection I second Yard House.

Bar at M resort....play quarter video poker......You can drink Lindemans Raspberry Framboise free...I think it is like 310$ a 1/4 barrel.........probably the most expensive 'free beer' you can get in Vegas

In other words, in Paris.

I'm staying at PH so I'll definitely hit Ellis Island and Paris Beer Park. I'll definitely make a trip to Yardhouse as well. And I've noted all your other recommendations so I'll try those if I'm in those areas.

I definitely value "draft" over "craft", but it's fun to try the craft beverages as well. I'm mainly looking for good atmosphere to go with a few drafts.

One night I'll break the mold and spring some $$$ for some nice bourbon at a decent bar somewhere.

Thanks for all the great suggestions!

That made me seriously laugh. When people refer to your 3k room resort as "across from Bellagio".

Which establishment has the best combination of cheap ($7 or less for 20oz pint), good selection (50+ draft and/or craft) and distance from the strip (closer)?

Going downtown to low roll quarter bartop VP is a pretty efficient way to drink draft beer if you go to the right places, like MSS.

That Yardhouse near the Highroller is great. Was there a few days ago, get the Nashville hot fried chicken and a flight of beers, really reasonable prices.

As others have mentioned, Yardhouse is the spot. They have afternoon and late night happy hours as well. Usually a buck or two off beers and apps

There's a yardhouse on the strip now? That's pretty sweet.

They only have the early happy hour (3pm-6pm) at this location which makes sense in a 24/7 city like Vegas. But yeah, yard house is the play for sure.

IIRC, it's been there since the High Roller opened, which was almost 4 years ago.

Just FYI non-US residents, there are somewhere between 50-100 Yard House all over the US so there's a decent chance you can find one even if you're not in Vegas.

Does BWW on the Strip have a big draft beer selection? I think our local ones all have less than 10.

Twin Peaks main selling point is that their beer is cooled to 29 degrees F. That’s all I needed to know to not set foot in there. Did I miss anything?
