On February 25th, the cannabis community gathered at one of Las Vegas’ most iconic entertainment venues, the Brooklyn Bowl at the LINQ Promenade, for an evening dedicated to recognizing excellence in Nevada’s legal cannabis market. The Best in Grass Awards brought together cultivators, processors, brands, industry professionals, and cannabis enthusiasts for a celebration filled with laughter, community spirit, and a shared appreciation for some of the state’s finest cannabis products.
The venue itself set the tone for the evening. Brooklyn Bowl’s vibrant atmosphere, complete with live entertainment energy, glowing lights, and the unmistakable buzz of a packed house, created the perfect backdrop for the ceremony. Guests mingled, industry peers reconnected, and anticipation built as the winners of Nevada’s Best in Grass competition prepared to be crowned.
What Is Best in Grass?
The Best in Grass Awards represent one of the most unique cannabis competitions in the country. Rather than relying solely on a small panel of judges, the program invites real consumers to evaluate products through curated judge kits distributed through dispensaries across each participating state. This approach puts authentic consumer experience at the center of the evaluation process, creating a competition shaped by the voices of the people who actually use these products.
Their vision is powerful: “Best in Grass exists to build a cannabis ecosystem powered by real people, authentic experience, and earned trust.” By inviting everyday consumers into the judging process, the program strengthens transparency while giving brands meaningful feedback rooted in real-world use.
Guided by this philosophy, Best in Grass aims to create the most trusted connection between cannabis products and genuine consumer experience. Through transparent, consumer-led trials, the program transforms feedback into proof, providing insights that both consumers and the industry can rely on as the market continues to evolve.
These consumer-led trials are a defining feature of the competition. Judges, from longtime cannabis connoisseurs to curious newcomers, evaluate products over several weeks. Participants rate entries on visual appeal, aroma, taste, and effects, offering detailed feedback that brands receive after the competition.
This process does more than crown winners. It gives companies valuable insight into how their products perform in the real world while allowing consumers to actively shape the conversation around quality cannabis.
And when the judging period ends, the community gathers for one unforgettable night to celebrate the results.
