Will be in Vegas (well, technically Summerlin) next week at a conference. Staying at Red Rock Casino. Have an obscenely packed four days so not sure if I will have time to get down to the strip - may end up being stuck in and around that resort.

What are some good local brews I should be on the lookout for, and would they likely be at a casino bar? There is a Yard House on property so I am hoping there is a decent selection there.

I generally move towards IPA, APA, and somewhat dark beers, but shy away from pisswater and very dark beers.

So wait, you can't leave the resort you are staying at, but you are asking for good local recommendations? Why don't you just google what they have once you get there and make your own decision?

I will probably be able to get away somewhat nearby. I'm saying I won't have time to spend a day walking up and down the strip, though. Nor will I have the chance to do any brewery tours.

And I'm asking for recommendations. I'm sure I can walk up the bartender and ask what they have (and I will) but if someone knows of a great beer worth trying, I'll be on the lookout for it.

I used to choose to play at Monte Carlo because they had a micro brewery inside the casino and you could order that while you were playing instead of the typical Bud or Heineken. Sadly, it no longer exists.

My man you couldn't be staying at a better "beer hotel". I stay at Red Rock or GVR often when in LV.

RR has a Yardhouse on site, it has local Vegas brewer Bad Beat, has all the Cali stuff like Firestone Walker, Russian River, Stone, Bear Republic, and many from Oreg, Wash, Colo,NY,etc..some even on tap..

And a Happy Hour plus Late Happy Hour menu of apps and food, that are solid.

RR has some huge screens in the Sportsbook, and Rubio's in the food court for fish tacos, Lucille's BBQ,etc..

You just made my day! Will be sure to check out those brands. Any particular Bad Beat ones I should look for?

Any other tips or things I should look for? I'll be there basically four full days (arrive before 10 am Tuesday morning and flight out is at 8 pm on Friday). Tuesday afternoon plan on hitting up the pool before some meetings Tuesday night. No plans after 8 pm Tues night. Wed - Friday will be in workshops and whatnot all day long. Wed night I will be attending a sponsor party at the bowling alley, and Thursday night we have a bash that apparently is taking over one of the night clubs and an area by one of the pools.

I've never been to this resort, or to Vegas, before. Ironically I'll be back in Vegas in January for another conference, that one at Aria.
