Oktoberfest events and bar specials are starting to spread out all over the Vegas Valley, but there’s really only one place you need to go to properly celebrate a traditional Bavarian beerfest.

Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas at the corner of Paradise and Harmon is the only local spot where one can sample the same Oktoberfestbier served at the Oktoberfest in Munich. It’s the only big beer hall serving up an extensive menu of authentic smoked meats and sausages, the crispy pork shank known as Schweinshaxe and more familiar favorites like schnitzel with mushroom sauce to go along with all those brews. And nowhere else can you hang with special Vegas celebrity keg-tappers during Oktoberfest—the men of Chippendales helped launch the party last weekend, and our favorite ladies of Fantasy are on the upcoming docket, along with former Golden Knight Deryk Engelland, magician Jen Kramer and “original influencer” Perez Hilton.
