Celebrate Oktoberfest in Las Vegas at the famous Hofbrauhaus, across from the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. The motto here is, "Everyday is Oktoberfest," and the venue offers a truly classic Bavarian atmosphere. The finest Bavarian brews are served on tap, including a beer with a special 400-year-old recipe that is brewed in Munich and shipped to Hofbrauhaus for the actual Las Vegas Oktoberfest celebration. The Hofbrauhaus has two main seating areas: the indoor beer hall and the outdoor beer garden. In addition to the festival at Hofbrauhaus, many smaller Oktoberfest events occur throughout Las Vegas at various hotels and casinos and other major entertainment facilities.
