Best BBQ Spots on the Strip and Downtown to Celebrate Labor Day

Labor Day weekend is here! That means it is time to celebrate the end of summer with some incredible barbecue. If you are exploring the Strip or hanging out Downtown, there are plenty of fantastic spots serving up smoked brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. Here at LAS Discounts, we have rounded up the top places to satisfy your BBQ cravings this holiday weekend.

Project BBQ at Circa Resort & Casino Located right on the Fremont Street Experience, Project BBQ is essentially a permanent food truck that serves some of the best Carolina-style barbecue in Downtown Las Vegas. The energy here is unbeatable, and you are just steps away from the casino floor.

• Insider Tip: You have to try their signature "Garbage Bowl." It is a massive pile of potato chips smothered in smoked meats, cheese sauce, and bacon. It is easily enough to share with your entire group.

Virgil's Real Barbecue at The LINQ Promenade If you are right in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip, Virgil's Real Barbecue is a massive, multi-level meat paradise. They slow-smoke their meats over hickory, oak, and pecan woods to ensure everything is packed with flavor.

• Insider Tip: Request a table on the outdoor patio. It provides some of the absolute best people-watching on the Strip while you enjoy your meal.

SoulBelly BBQ in the Arts District Just a quick jump from Downtown, Chef Bruce Kalman's SoulBelly BBQ in the Arts District is a must-visit for serious meat lovers. The Central Texas-style brisket is legendary, and the industrial space is incredibly welcoming.

• Insider Tip: Arrive early! The best meats, especially the brisket, tend to sell out by mid-afternoon. They also feature great live local music, making it a perfect spot to spend a lazy Labor Day afternoon.

Gilley's Saloon, Dance Hall & Bar-B-Que at Treasure Island Gilley's offers a genuine honky-tonk experience right on the Strip. You get stunning views of the Boulevard alongside some fantastic ribs and pulled pork.

• Insider Tip: Check the daily schedule before you go. Gilley's offers free line dancing lessons on select afternoons. It is a highly entertaining way to work off that heavy BBQ lunch before heading out to your next destination.

No matter where you choose to celebrate, we hope you have a fantastic holiday. Keep checking LAS Discounts for more ways to enjoy Las Vegas.
