| - The Public House is awesome. My guess is that you will find your favorite beer, either on tap or in bottles (mine, the Lagunitas Lil' Sumthin Sumthin', was there, as was my wife's [second] favorite beer, Stone Ruination). The atmosphere is hip without being too over the top (though the music seemed a little too clubby). And the food was delish.
I had poutine -- the French Canadian import delicacy of french fries, cheese curds, and gravy. What can make that better? Why, try adding a fried egg AND duck confit! that's over the top, in-no-way-subtle, richness made to pander to trendy food snob tastes. But I don't care. It was amazing and really epitomizes Vegas -- heart attack inducing decadence, but something everyone should try about once a year. My wife had a little egg pot, with a fried egg and yummy accouterments. The mother-in-law had the chicken, which she said was a bit too dry but had an awesome crispy skin.
Prices are a bit much (but not more than you'd expect for a Vegas hotel restaurant), but not so bad if you're careful how you order (e.g., don't go there and order a $7 Shiner or Bud Light, when for a dollar or two more you can have a delicious craft beer).
4.5 stars, rounded up for the poutine and for allowing me to have my favorite beer.
