Get Drunk in Las Vegas for a Great Cause

The struggling Lake Las Vegas community is arguably on life support, but that isn’t stopping them from launching an event for a good cause.

The Village Lake Las Vegas and Buckbean Brewing Co. are joining forces to present the Brews Best Village Beer Fest to raise funds for New Vista Community from 2 to 8 p.m. on March 13.

The festival will showcase a gadzooks numbers of breweries – mostly from Las Vegas – including Buckbean, Boulder Dam Brewing, Barley’s Brewing, Gordon Biersch Las Vegas, Backyard Brew Pub, Stone Brewing Co., Tenaya Creek, Sonoran Brewing Co., Nevada Beverage and Del Norte Brewing Co. 

Breweries will be set up along the waterfront’s cobblestone streets of The Village Lake Las Vegas.   Guests will be able to taste beers while being serenaded by live musicians- that means NO DJS!

Worried about driving home drunk or having a hangover after the festival?  No problem.  A special Brews Best Beer Fest package will be available with an overnight stay at MonteLago Village Resort or Vacation Villas.

2009 Wine Walk schedule: 

Town Square – May 5, September 5 and October 3

Summerlin-Boca Park – April 25, May 23, September 26 and October 17 

New Vista has been providing health care, life skills training and homes to people with learning and developmental disabilities since 1986.   Services are paid for by direct contribution, the New Vista Community Emporium (a second hand new and used retail store located at 5220 W. Charleston in Las Vegas) and fund raisers like the annual Wine Walk.
