Steakhouse restaurants in Las Vegas

  1. A

    Cut

    Peripatetic Wolfgang Puck strikes again, and this time he’s on fire –it’s 1200°F in the broiler, to be exact. Modern earth-toned furnishings with stainless-steel accents and dried-flower arrangements complement a surprisingly smart menu, which dares to infuse Indian spices into Kobe beef, and accompanies Nebraska corn-fed steaks with Argentinean chimichurri sauce or Point Reyes blue cheese. Reservations essential.

    Pullman Grille

    A well-kept secret, the clubby Pullman features the finest Black Angus beef and Pacific Rim seafood specialties, plus a solid wine list served amid gorgeous carved wood paneling and a fortune’s worth of antiques, such as a fireplace taken from a Scottish castle. The centerpiece is a 1926 Pullman train car, now a cigar lounge for quaffing after-dinner brandy. Enter through the impressive mansion doors.

    Envy

    Envy’s name is no lie. Near the convention center, powerbrokers recline against high-backed chairs amid a boldly splashed color palette. Both steaks and seafood get high marks, along with a smart wine list and inventive side dishes like bourbon creamed corn. At breakfast, early risers see the likes of lemony brioche French toast or gingerbread waffles topped with cinnamon gelato. Reservations recommended.

    Prime Steakhouse

    It may be past its prime and service doesn’t always hit the mark, but this lakeside chophouse adorned with gilt chandeliers and plush velvet curtains reveals a fantastical menu of Maine lobster with braised artichokes and veal chops with kumquat-pineapple chutney. The elegant bar has a bold wine list dominated by Californian and French reds. Reservations recommended; jackets preferred for men.

  5. Billy Bob’s Steak House & Saloon

    Stranded out on the Boulder Strip, this cowboy casino’s enormously popular steakhouse boasts leather chairs, gigantic rib-eye steaks, draft beers and a foot-long ‘Grand Canyon’ chocolate cake. Also at Sam’s Town, the Fresh Harvest Cafe casino coffee shop rates above average, especially the good-value breakfast steak-and-eggs special.

    Strip House

    Boudoir lamps, leather banquettes and vintage erotic art prints set the mood at this sultry steakhouse, an aspiring celeb hangout. Start off with the garlic bread and Gorgonzola fondue, then fork into the broiler steaks and attack the 24-layer chocolate cake. Eclectic, sommelier-inspired wine list. Reservations here are recommended.

    Switch

    Oh, how Vegas loves a gimmick! Here the atmosphere and indeed the entire interior design dramatically change every 20 minutes: walls slide back to reveal paintings, chandeliers drop and even the ambient music changes pace. In comparison, the straight-up steakhouse menu can be a yawn. Reservations recommended.

    Redwood Bar & Grill

    The Cal’s gently aged, yet inviting steakhouse is infused with aloha spirit. The so-so porterhouse steak dinner special ($17.99) isn’t on the menu, but it’s available to anyone who asks for it; the grand finale is an apple dumpling in cinnamon-rum sauce that will leave you overstuffed.

    Sw Steakhouse

    This high-roller's chic chophouse does exquisite renditions of such old-school classics as Bartlett pear salads, lobster bouillabaise and filet thermidor, but it's the prime cuts of steak that some rave are the best in town. An open-air patio overlooks the lagoon.

    Binion’s Ranch Steakhouse

    When high-rollin’ cowboys finish up in the poker room, they tip back their Stetsons and ride the glass elevator up to this Old Vegas penthouse meatery for stunning 24th-floor views and fine feasts of juicy chops with old-school fixins. Reservations recommended.

    Charlie Palmer Steak

    Artisan-aged beef is grilled to perfection at this classy, Spanish-influenced hideaway. Starring on a regional American menu are Kansas City rib eye and Hudson Valley foie gras. Impressive wine list; business casual dress. Reservations essential.

    Golden Steer

    It’s not the best steak in town. So why are you eating at this fabulously retro steakhouse with the steer’s head out front? It’s the same place where the Rat Pack and Elvis once dined. You’re here to soak up the Old Vegas vibes.

    Steakhouse

    All clowning aside, this revered establishment takes itself very seriously, resembling a British hunting lodge. Aged mesquite-grilled steaks are typically cooked to perfection. The Sunday champagne brunch is a phenomenal spread.

  15. M

    Bally's Steakhouse

    Indulge in the best - and most expensive - Sunday brunch ($85) in town. Ice sculptures and lavish flower arrangements abound at the Sterling Brunch, as do food stations featuring roast duckling, beef tenderloin and fresh sushi.
