Corey “Big Hoss” Harrison of the hit series “Pawn Stars” based here in Las Vegas was the star guest at Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas on Friday night to tap the keg for Oktoberfest.

Harrison was accompanied by family including dad Rick “The Spotter” Harrison and tattoo artist friend Corey Miller, and the group enjoyed Hofbrau beer and German favorites (sausage and sauerkraut, anyone?). It was a busy weekend for Harrison, as he also served as the grand marshal for the 2012 Bike Fest at Cashman Center.

Celebrities and VIPs scheduled to tap the keg this year at the Paradise and Harmon restaurant include “America’s Got Talent” Season 5 winner and Green Valley Ranch headliner Michael Grimm; sexy cast members of “Fantasy” at the Luxor; and the handsome hunks of Chippendales at the Rio.

Also, Stratosphere headliner singer Frankie Moreno, who recently released a CD; zany comedian and Luxor headliner Carrot Top; UFC fighters Frank Mir, Jay Heiron and Evan Dunham; MTV reality TV star Ricardo Laguna; and pro bull rider Evan Schneider.

Magic legends and Las Vegas residents Siegfried & Roy kicked things off at Hofbrauhaus on Sept. 15.
