If you’re looking for St. Patrick’s Day events in Las Vegas that you can do with your family, there are a lot of options for you this year. Yes, we are Vegas, but it’s not all about car bombs and pub crawls. From brunch to parades to a murder mystery dinner, you and the kiddos will definitely be able to celebrate the leprechaun. And at local places that aren’t on the Strip. We’ll call that a lucky bonus.
St. Patrick’s Day Events in Las Vegas The Family Will Like
While we have plenty of Irish pubs around town doing specials for the holiday, we’re not including them in this list of events. Yes, those pubs do have areas where you can bring the kids in, but the atmosphere is definitely more conducive to the grown-up types of celebrations. So, we’re going to leave those out.
A Wee Bit O’ Irish Culture
If you do want to introduce your kid to an authentic Irish pub, my recommendation is McMullan’s. It’s off the Strip, right by the Orleans. It’s got traditional Irish food. Lots of nooks and crannies to explore. And the whole place, besides the actual bar, is open to kiddos. They’re open 24/7 and don’t require reservations.
For the same kid-friendly reason, we won’t go into detail about the Shamrock Bash going on at Fremont Street Experience. Another place that kids technically can go, but it’s going to be a whole lot of crazy down there over St. Patrick’s Day weekend with lots of drink specials for the adults. At least once the sun sets. However, there are some things that the kids will enjoy during the day, like the Firefighters Parade (March 17 at noon) and challenge games (March 17 at 1:00). If you do plan to take your kids downtown, here’s some info about the event.
Both of these options are stellar if you want your family really immersed in the Irish theme for the holiday. Just keep in mind there will be shenanigans. As there always is wherever the liquor is flowing.
St. Patrick’s Day Events in Las Vegas The Family Will Love
If you want a more mild, family friendly atmosphere for your kiddos on St. Patrick’s Day, here are some fun things happening around town the kids will love.
Murder Mystery Dinner At Lawry's The Prime Rib
A great family event for St. Patrick’s Day in Las Vegas is the murder mystery dinner at Lawry’s. Their amazing food is combined with a fun Whodunnit kind of musical event. And they don’t skimp at Lawry’s when it comes to the food or the entertainment.
One very unique event for St. Patrick’s Day that your family will love is at Lawry’s The Prime Rib in Las Vegas. It’s a Whodunit dinner event that includes three courses of Lawry’s unbelievable food. The dishes include their famous spinning salad, a choice of three main dishes (prime rib, salmon, vegetarian entrée of the day) with accompanying sides, and a choice of dessert.
During dinner, guests will be walked through a musical comedy crime show to see if they can solve the mystery. The price is $130 per person, and dinner starts at 7 p.m. exclusively on Sunday, March 17. You can make your reservations at atouchofmystery.com.
Lawry’s is located at 4043 Howard Hughes Parkway in Las Vegas.
Brunch At La Neta Cocina
A birds eye view of the Corn Beef Tacos at La Neta Cocina y Lounge in Las Vegas. One of many dishes available from La Neta during their St. Patrick’s Day brunch.
We have a couple of restaurants adding some fun St. Patty’s Day twists on the traditional brunch. The one that would be fun for the kiddos is at La Neta Cocina in Summerlin. They’re doing some green dishes, including green eggs and churrasco, and Trash Chilies. Or my favorite pick for the littles: green pancakes with lucky charms!
Plus, if mom and dad want to do a little indulging, there are lots of Irish-inspired cocktails, including bottomless green mimosas and green beer, Irish Mules and green tea shots.
La Neta is located at 1770 Festival Plaza Dr. Suite 200 in Summerlin. Brunch is on Sundays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
**NOTE** There is a dress code that is strictly enforced, even at brunch. They call it “upscale fashionable” and request no workout attire or backwards caps. Also no pool attire, tank tops or sleeveless shirts.
