Every Vegas steakhouse wot I has ever eaten at.
Over the years I've eaten at plenty of redic random ones that aren't singularly worth a mention, for example (ok I'm mentioning it I suppose, but only for example)
http://www.rhythmkitchenlv.com/ where I doubt many people on here would be randomly driving past anytime soon, and certainly didn't merit a special trip. No point in mentioning stuff that has since been demolished either...
The vast majority of these are going to give you a near identical standard of steak, most likely sourced from the same butcher (Pat Lefreida) and the only real differences are whether you want a rowdy nightclub steakhouse or dinner for 2 type ambience (for your stag party) and which salads/starters/sides you like the look of the most, possibly the wine list if you are really into your vino.
Starting on the Strip:CHARLIE PALMERS (MB/4 Seasons/The Hotel/etc) tried it at the recommendation I think from MLHMLH off this board for their special price menu, was a really good deal, would go back for it. Can't see any sign of it on the website now though, wouldn't make a special trip for full price, but was very decent.
STRIPSTEAK (MB) a steak lover's steakhouse, haven't been for a couple of years and haven't heard much about it recently, but it was clear everyone from the bus boy to the chef were passionate about their steaks. Must go back at some point and try again.
TENDER (Luxor) Used to really like this in the old days, old fashioned service, wood and leather (not the steaks) then it went downhill when it got remodelled. Glad I gave it another chance, last couple of visits have been pretty solid, don't bother ordering the game tasting tho
Very inexpesnive wine list, easy to get a table when trendier places aren't and for the nits amongst you, also easy to apply a free $75 credit from MyVegas.com. Not the best in town, but if you are in the area and hungry, certainly wouldn't put you off.
GALLAGHERS (NYNY) semi-rowdy, as it seemed there were a lot of people in there just drinking, meal was fine but nothing calling me back.
CRAFTSTEAK (MGM) Very underwhelming. Every visit it seems like the waiter has tried to put me in a full nelson in his attempt to get me to order Wagyu and not been impressed when I refused to tap out. I actively try and avoid going here, if I get any input into the decision. If someone else is in the chair..... I'll put up with it.
JEAN_GEORGES (Aria) Great steakhouse, one of those places where you can't get a table on the phone (it seems) but if you walk by and talk to someone earlier in the day, you always can. Always on the short list, and a great choice for solo diners at the bar. Last time waiter was a real prick, but I won't hold that against Aria.
BRAND (Monte Carlo) - perfectly fine, only been once though and there's not too much else at MC to pull me back in.
STK - (Cosmo) Been in here twice now and not actually managed to order ;( Both times due to people that think travelling the length of the strip on a Saturday night should only take 5 minutes. It's pretty upbeat, menu looks great, perfect for part of a night out on the tiles.
STRIPHOUSE (PH) - My fav solo dining spot, great service at the bar. The steaks come quite heavily seasoned, which I happen to like, the Romanoff potatoes are great. Table service has been worse than bar service in my experience.
SMITH & WOLLENSKY - nothing wrong with it... but no reason to go back.
PRIME (Bellagio) - Has definite appeal as a table for 2 venue, fountain show is a very nice backdrop and its a 40s/50s style 'speakeasy' decor which I really like. Not that much actual choice for steaks tho! Very happy about getting taken here, less happy about paying for it.
BALLYS - Haven't been here since their heyday Sterling Brunch which was a great deal, as long as you weren't planning on doing anything until Tuesday. Not even sure if it still exists, I doubt it would compete as a standalone steakhouse.
PALM (Forum shops) - great lunch deal. Would not go back for full price.
OUTBACK - you know you are having a bad trip when you decide to eat here.... Budget of all budget steakhouse, was ok, but was like going to a "nice Harvester"
PHILS - TI Pretty decent, also a decent hotel choice if you are playing Wynn/Venetian a lot. Would happily go back, but in the "not worth a special trip to go there" category
DELMONICOS (V/P) A really great pick for a decent lunch menu. Evening service is really really good, a good choice for a group where a lot of people will want non-steak options. Can get offered a 10pm table over the phone, or walk in at 8 and find they are empty and will seat you immediately. Hate it when places do that. Anyway, a really good dining experience, just not really a full-on steakhouse imo.
CUT (V/P) Really nice service, much more bustling brasserie feel than Delmonicos, likely to be quite spendy so make sure your credit card roulette form is decent.
MORELS (V/P) Had weekend brunch here, was fine, but nothing is pulling me back in to try the evening.
CARNEVINO (V/P) Used to be great. Last couple of visits I've gone off it a lot. Apparently they do an off the menu Riserva steak which is all the rage, not tried it. Will probably swerve this place for a while, too many great alternatives in walking distance.
BOTERO (Encore) steakhouse with a
.. work it out. However, a table outside by the pool is a pretty good option if you want to be able to hear what anyone says.
SW (Wynn) Not sure about the frog.... Usually on the short list, rarely actually go. Can't put my finger on why, so I'll give it another go next visit. It's a good choice if you have vegetarians/vegans in the group, as all Wynn restaurants cater for vegans.
CIRCUS CIRCUS - must have been 10 years since I last went. One of the few places significantly cheaper than the rest. Was surprisingly good too, I imagine they will have struggled to keep prices down and standards up, at the point where that doesn't happen, no point in going there.
GOLDEN STEER (Sahara jnctn) - very old school, took me a couple of changes of mind before finally going in. Good if you like the super old-school, tableside preparation etc. Not really cheap enough for what it is tho, but worth checking out once (but maybe not twice)
Off stripOver the years, I decided to not line Steve Wynn's pockets any more than I needed to and went searching for great deals off strip. However, I can't find any! Lots of perfectly decent steakhouses, but all surprisingly close to strip steakhouse prices, so not a big reason to go there. If you have rented a car, it is definitely easier to get a table off strip than on it, but not really worth the cab fare.
Mortons/Flemings/Del Friscos are chains to some degree or other, but as they aren't present over here, I certainly don't mind going in them, all solid meals and if you really do your homework, some really great happy hour opportunities.
Ruths Chris I consider to be an off-strip choice, as they always had 2 locations off strip. Now they are back in somewhere around Harrahs on strip, but I don't care anyway as I doubt I'll ever go back. If you do, and you don't want your steak to be doing backstroke in butter when it arrives, best mention it to the server.
Capital Grille is I suppose on strip as part of FSM. I only give it a mention as in theory it opens all day, so if you get KO'd at 4pm and want good steak, it is one of the few options that don't just open for dinner. I say in theory, as last time I tried it, they were firmly shut.
N9NE (Palms) Rowdiest steakhouse ever. OK for a stag night, not a good choice to get down on one knee and propose.
RIO - don't do it.
DowntownHUGOS (4QUEENS) - long standing fav from Binions WSOP days. Quality has gone down a notch or two tbf, but always enjoy eating here. Salad cart/spuds+veg/sorbet/dessert all included, so if you know you are definitely in the chair, not a bad choice as no-one can completely kill you ordering off the menu. Great sommelier, great wine list at very low markup (lower than Blonde poker fora are used to seeing anyway!!)
VIC&ANTHONYS (Golden Nugget) - fast becoming a regular choice for solo dining. Whilst others go off looking for deep fried twinkies and McDonalds, for a couple of bux more I love eating solo at the bar here, its pretty small, so catch them off peak or expect a wait. Would expect to visit here every trip at some point from now on, definitely cheaper than the Strip and no issues with quality, like the setting too.
BINIONS - Enjoyable back in the day, haven't been for a loooong time and I would pre-judge that it is likely gone way downhill, but I would be happy to stand corrected by anyone that has been recently.
OSCARS - Plaza. Great view along Fremont Street (if you get given the right table) and scenes of several movies. However, I haven't actually been in since Goodman got involved, hate to think I might be lining his pocket, any more than his pocket ever got indirectly lined by my LV visits.
ANDIAMOS (THE D) and Triple George Grill (Downtown Grand) haven't made it to either yet, but will definitely try them out next time.
OK, think that covers it
Can confirm that Charlie Palmers was on my recommendation and they're still doing their Cut of the Week deal which is amazing value (if you like that week's cut!).
