Las Vegas is The Entertainment Capital of the World, but it can be argued that it also is The Steakhouse Capital of the World. Here are six of Vegas Prime Magazine’s favorite steakhouses:
Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar
The steakhouse transplant from Chicago is a sophisticated and sexy restaurant for prime meats, seafood towers and classic cocktails at Park MGM. Menu recs: The seafood tower, crab cake, duck and goat cheese terrine, filet, ribeye, bone marrow, thick cut bacon, truffle mac and cheese, chocolate cream pie and Old Fashioneds.
Bazaar Meat by José Andrés
The multiple James Beard Award recipient’s steakhouse at Sahara is dark, hunter chic (with fun taxidermy) and a butcher’s paradise. Menu recs: Dare we say it’s impossible to order wrong at Bazaar Meat? The Ultimate Tasting and Jose’s Way Tasting are highly recommended dining options. Everything is that good.
Carversteak
Carversteak at Resorts World is one of the best steakhouses in Las Vegas. The lounge, dining area and patio are modern, chic and sexy; Carversteak is the definition of a modern fine-dining steakhouse. Menu recs: Piedmontese, Miyazaki Wagyu and Australian Wagyu steaks, filet, lobster en croute and tableside cocktails.
Papi Steak
Vibe and party dining aren’t for everyone, but Papi Steak, a transplant from Miami, at Fontainebleau Las Vegas could teach a masterclass. The high-energy staff is fully committed as customers celebrate special occasions. Standouts: The $1,000 steak, $500 Old Fitz Fashioned, caviar and more high-end steaks and cocktails.
Scotch 80 Prime
Scotch 80 Prime at Palms Casino Resort is an innovative and classic steakhouse with an energetic vibe and warm and intimate indoor-outdoor design. Menu recs: Steaks, among them Kobe beef and the 40 oz. prime dry-aged long-bone ribeye, Japanese butter bread, shrimp toast, chilled seafood tower, brie fondue and lobster.
The Steakhouse
The Steakhouse at Circus Circus, at 40 years old, is a celebrated OG with red leather booth seating, old school fixtures, quiet and classic music and a meat locker at the front entryway. Menu recs: We don’t say this lightly: The prime rib is one of the best out there – hickory-smoked, thick, juicy, flavorful and delicious. Bravo!
