I won the beer stein-holding contest before I even sat down for my meal, so my review of the Hofbrauhaus may be a bit biased.
I love this place! Don't go here for a quiet meal or a romantic evening. If you come to Vegas for the same reason I do -- to live it up! -- then this is a good place to visit. After my boyfriend and I BOTH won the stein-holding contest we sat down for a biiiiiig liter of beer and the BEST soft pretzel I've ever had in my life, accompanied by the best mustard and cheese ever!
The Hofbrauhaus is just plain fun! Don't expect totally authentic German...it's more German with an American tourist twist. The rowdy atmosphere is fun, not annoying, and the food and beer is delicious. I'll come back every time!
