The decor is fantastic, and even the celings look the same! The only difference I noticed is that the original has breathalizer machines in the restrooms, whereas they are conspicuously absent here in Vegas. :) You'll just have to guesstimate how drunk you get.\n\nOne comes to Hofbrauhaus for the beer, and it certainly does not disappoint. My favorite is the dark beer, but the wheat beer is the real star: If you have ever consumed some half-assed American knock off at a wheat beer, you'll see why the brewery even tried! (I.E. The German stuff is goooooood!!!!).\n\nI've had a few food items here, and they were good. I woudl highly recommend the 1/2 chicken with potato salad. \n\nWhen this place is rocking, the atmosphere is the best. The table setup and beer hall format really liven the place up. You are likely to be seated next to folks you don't know, so half the fun is making friends while drinking copious amounts of beer.\n\nThe bar area up front is a bit more chill, and you can even watch the game on the 3 plasmas. They also have a back dining area that is more suitable to families (it is away from the Polka band and not filled with drunken idiots like me)."^^ . .
