pub/restaurant to hold a party at in Vegas?

April 4, 2006 2:29 PM

I'm looking for a venue to hold an event for 50 or fewer people in Las Vegas. It will be a social event, basically people standing, talking, having a few drinks and eating. A sit-down restaurant is not quite it - not social enough. In the past, in other cities, we've rented out upscale beer joints for this event. Can anyone recommend such a place in Vegas? Close to the main strip and Mandalay Bay is preferred.

We rented the entire Hard Rock Cafe a couple years ago, including performance stage, but that's probably out of your price range :) Not to mention not very upscale. Isn't there a new WWF themed hotel in Vegas? OK, I'll stop.

Hofbräuhaus? Its across the street from the Hard Rock Cafe and seems like it is set up to host events like this. They have an in-door biergarten that feels like outside in that freaky Las Vegas way.

We had a GREAT time at Red Square Madalay Bay

The back lounge of the Peppermill is very cool (in a 70's lounge with fireplace type way) and rentable for private functions... but it's more of a cocktail bar than a beer joint. On the strip, not so close to Mandalay Bay.

Mandalay Bay itself might have some suggestions, if you give 'em a call...

Any of the landmark casinos will have catering capabilities for a group that large. Just call the main switchboard of any hotel/casino and ask to be connected to the catering sales department.

You get the idea. If you describe what you want, they will be able to make it happen for you in their spaces, or refer you to someone who can. Good Luck!
