What do ya got?

I really enjoy Gordon Ramsay Steak in Paris - going there next week after I propose to my pre-wife at bellagio

Golden Steer is wonderful if you want off-strip

Downtown you can't beat Top of Binion's and Oscar's is a close second.

Primal. It is off strip. Significantly cheaper than anything on the strip and a better meal IMO

I like Strip House. Been there a couple of times, as recently as last weekend. And their barrel aged old fashioned is great as well - a must drink. They have wet aged and dry aged steaks.

Bavette's is also good....I've been there as well as most steak places on the strip.

Strip House is where I'd been leaning. Prime looks good but I feel like you're paying more for the view there.

It would be funny if a vegan posted in this thread and started lecturing everyone.

I'd rather eat really good vegetarian food than steak most of the time. Steak is easy and boring.

Vic & Anthony's was amazing a few months ago, everything about it was top notch from the booze to the dessert.

Prime at Bellagio

Golden Steer is legit if you're willing to leave the hotel. Stayed at Bellagio a few weeks and did Prime one night as well. If I could only choose one (since I've been to Prime a lot) it's GS for me. Awesome nostalgia and ambience.

I second Gordon Ramsay at Paris as well as Golden Steer for a retro experience. Golden Steer is not in a great part of town. When our Uber driver dropped us off, she said "Make sure you get picked up right here in front of the restaurant. Don't walk down to a corner or anything."

Flamingo has Bugsy & Meyer's. My wife and I like going there and eating at the bar. Food is as good as any other steakhouse we've eaten at on the Strip. We like bs'ing with the bartenders.

I'm proud this troll attempt got ignored for three hours

I wasn't trolling, it actually would be funny if a vegan started lecturing people in the thread, cause then there would be a debate between the vegan and some people who eat meat (I eat meat, so I'm not a vegan trolling the thread in case you're wondering). It would be more amusing than funny, but it would still be entertaining to read.

You're fidos sock?

This is the only account I've had on here. If I was trolling, I would pretend to be a vegan and start talking about how meat is murder, but all I said was it would be funny or amusing if a vegan started doing that in this thread, which it would be, cause the responses to the vegan would be entertaining to read.

Prime

I've never been to Vegas, so I'm wondering this: do they have steaks that are at least $100? I know Vegas and steaks are expensive (my friend said it cost him ten dollars for two scoops of ice cream in Vegas), but do they have steaks that cost that much, since they're high quality?

THE Steakhouse inside Circus Circus

You seriously ask the most, and the weirdest, questions on this site.

The sheer volume and bizarre specificity of your questions have led me to believe you're a troll, but it's hard to tell. If you're a troll, I give you props for being the weirdest, softest troll I've ever seen.

I'm not a troll, I'm just curious about different things than most people.

You don't have to go to Vegas to get a $100+ steak. Just get a Waygu ribeye and you'll be there. Get an A5 if you want to spend some serious cash.

I hear Ryan's Steakhouse has nice bathrooms…

This was posted years ago by someone other than me!!!

Got this in an email from my buddy this morning... HILARIOUS

The Ryan's Steakhouse Story

by Anonymous

Now, I know that there is a lot of embellishment that occurs on this group and I am aware that a small number of things are perhaps sheer fabrication, but I have a story to tell that is the absolute truth.

Funniest damn thing that has ever happened to me. A couple of weeks ago we decided to cruise out to Ryan's Steakhouse for dinner. It was a Wednesday night which means that macaroni and beef was on the hot bar, indeed the only night of the week that it is served. Wednesday night is also kid's night at Ryan's, complete with Dizzy the Clown wandering from table to table entertaining the little *******s. It may seem that the events about to be told have little connection to those two circumstances, but all will be clear in a moment.

We went through the line and placed our orders for the all-you-can-eat hot bar then sat down as far away from the front of the restaurant as possible in order to keep the density of kids down a bit. Then I started my move to the hot bar. Plate after plate of macaroni and beef were consumed that evening, I tell you - in all, four heaping plates of the pseudo-Italian ambrosia were shoved into my belly. I was sated. Perhaps a bit too much, however.

I had not really been feeling well all day, what with a bit of gas and such. By the time I had eaten four overwhelmed plates of food, I was in real trouble. There was so much pressure on my diaphragm that I was having trouble breathing. At the same time, the downward pressure was building. At first I thought it was only gas, which could have been passed in batches right at the table without too much concern.

Unfortunately, that was not to be. After a minute or so it was clear that I was dealing with explosive diarrhea. It's amazing how grease can make its way through your intestines far faster than the food which spawned the grease to begin with, but I digress... I got up from the table and made my way to the bathroom. Upon entering, I saw two sinks immediately inside the door, two urinals just to the right of the sinks, and two toilet stalls against the back wall. One of them was a handicapped bathroom. Now, normally I would have gone to the handicapped stall since I like to stretch out a bit when I take a good ****. But in this case, the door lock was broken and the only thing I hate worse than my wife telling me to stop cutting my toenails with a pair of diagonal wire-cutters is having someone walk in on me while I am taking a ****.

I went to the normal stall. In retrospect, I probably should have gone to the large, handicapped stall even though the door would not lock because that bit of time lost in making the stall switch proved to be a bit too long under the circumstances. By the time I had walked into the regular stall, the pressure on my ass was reaching Biblical portions. I began "The Move."

For those women who may be reading this, let me take a moment to explain "The Move." Men know exactly what their bowels are up to at any given second. And when the time comes to empty the cache, a sequence of physiological events occur that can not be stopped under any circumstances. There is a move men make that involves simultaneously approaching the toilet, beginning the body turn to position ones ass toward said toilet, hooking ones fingers into ones waistline, and pulling down the pants while beginning the squat at the same time. It is a very fluid motion that, when performed properly, results in the flawless expulsion of **** at the exact same second that one's ass is properly placed on the toilet seat. Done properly, it even assures that the choad is properly inserted into the front rim of the toilet in the event that the piss stream lets loose at the same time; it is truly a picture of coordination rivaling that of a skilled ballet dancer.

I was about halfway into "The Move" when I looked down at the floor and saw a pile of vomit that had been previously expelled by one of those little *******s attending kids night. It was mounded up in the corner so I did not notice it when I had first walked into the stall. Normally, I would not have been bothered by such a thing, but I had eaten so much and the pressure upward was so intense, that I hit a rarely experienced gag reflex. And once that reflex started, combined with the intense pressure upward caused by the bloated stomach, four plates of macaroni and beef started coming up for a rematch.

What happened next was so quick that the exact sequence of events is a bit fuzzy, but I will try to reconstruct them as best I can. In that moment of impending projectile vomiting, my attention was diverted from the goings-on at the other end. To put a freeze frame on the situation, I was half crouched down to the toilet, pants pulled down to my knees, with a load of vomit coming up my eso****us.

Now, most of you know that vomiting takes precedence over **** no matter what is about to come slamming out of your ass. It is apparently an evolutionary thing since ****ting will not kill you, but vomiting takes a presence of mind to accomplish so that you do not aspirate any food into the bronchial tubes and perhaps choke to death. My attention was thus diverted. At that very split second, my ass exploded in what can only be described as a wake...you know, as in a newspaper headline along the lines of "30,000 Killed In Wake of Typhoon Fifi" or something similar. In what seemed to be most suitably measured in cubic feet, an enormous plug of **** the consistency of thick mud with embedded pockets of greasy liquid came flying out of my ass.

But remember, I was only halfway down on the toilet at that moment. The **** wave was of such force, and of just such an angle in relation to the back curve of the toilet seat, that it ricocheted off the back of the seat and slammed into the wall - at an angle of incidence equal to the angle at which it initially hit the toilet seat. Then I sat down. Recall that when that event occurred, I was already halfway to sitting anyway and had actually reached the point of no return. I have always considered myself as relatively stable gravitationally, but when you get beyond a certain point, you're going down no matter how limber you may be. Needless to say, the **** wave, though of considerable force, was not so sufficient so as to completely glance off the toilet seat and deposit itself on the walls - unlike what you would see when hitting a puddle with a high-pressure water hose; even though you throw water at the puddle, the puddle gets moved and no water is left to re-form a puddle. There was a significant amount of **** remaining on about one-third of the seat rim which I had now just collapsed upon.

Now, back to the vomit...

While all the ****ting was going on, the vomit was still on its way up. By the time I had actually collapsed on the toilet, my mouth had filled up with a goodly portion of the macaroni and beef I had just consumed. OK, so what does the human body instinctively do when vomiting? One bends over. So I bent over. I was still sitting on the toilet, though. Therefore, bending over resulted in me placing my head above my now slightly-opened legs, positioned in between my knees and waist. Also directly above my pants which were now pulled down to a point just midway between my knees and my ankles. Oh, did I mention that I was wearing not just pants, but sweatpants with elastic on the ankles. In one mighty push, some three pounds of macaroni and beef, two or three Cokes, and a couple of Big, Fat Yeast Rolls were deposited in my pants...on the inside...with no ready exit at the bottom down by my feet. In the next several seconds, there were a handful of farts, a couple of turds, and the event ended. Yet I was now sitting there with my pants full of vomit, my back covered in **** that had bounced off the toilet, spattered on three ceramic-tiled walls to a height of about five feet, and still had enough force to come back at me, covering the back of my shirt with droplets of liquid ****. All while thick **** was spread all over my ass in a ring curiously in the shape of a toilet seat.

And there was no ****ing toilet paper. What could I do but laugh. I must have sounded like a complete maniac to the guy who then wandered into the bathroom. He actually asked if I was OK since I was laughing so hard I must have sounded like I was crying hysterically. I calmed down just enough to ask him if he would get the manager. And told him to have the manager bring some toilet paper. When the manager walked in, he brought the toilet paper with him, but in no way was prepared for what happened next. I simply told him that there was no way I was going to explain what was happening in the stall, but that I needed several wet towels and I needed him to go ask my wife to come help me. I told him where we were sitting and he left. At that point, I think he was probably assuming that I had pissed just a bit in my pants or something similarly benign.

About two minutes later, my wife came into the bathroom not knowing what was wrong and with a certain amount of worry in her voice. I explained to her (still laughing and having trouble getting out words) that I had a slight accident and needed her help. Knowing that I had experienced some close calls in the past, she probably assumed that I had laid down a small turd or something and just needed to bring the car around so we could bolt immediately. Until I asked her, I'm sure she had no idea that she was about to go across the street and purchase me new underwear, new socks, new pants, a new shirt, and (by that time due to considerable leakage around the elastic ankles thingies) new sneakers. And she then started to laugh herself since I was still laughing. She began to ask for an explanation as to what had happened when I promised her that I would tell her later, but that I just needed to handle damage control for the time being. She left.

The manager then came back in with a half-dozen wet towels and a few dry ones. I asked him to also bring a mop and bucket upon which he assured me that they would clean up anything that needed to be cleaned. Without giving him specific details, I explained that what was going on in that stall that night was far in excess of what I would expect anyone to deal with, what with most of the folks working at Ryan's making minimum wage of just slightly above. At that moment, I think it dawned on him exactly the gravity of the situation. Then that manager went so far above the call of duty that I will be eternally grateful for his actions. He hooked up a hose. Fortunately, commercial bathrooms are constructed with tile walls and tile floors and have a drain in the middle of the room in order to make clean up easy. Fortunately, I was in a commercial bathroom. He hooked up the hose to the spigot located under the sink as I began cleaning myself up with the wet towels.

Just as I was finishing, my wife got back with the new clothes and passed them into the stall, whereupon I stuffed the previously worn clothing into the plastic bag that came from the store, handing the bag to my wife. I finished cleaning myself off and carefully put on my new clothes, still stuck in the stall since I figured that it would be in bad taste to go out of the stall to get redressed, in the event I happened to be standing there naked and some little ******* kid walked in. At that point, I had only made a mess; I had not yet committed a felony and intended to keep it that way.

When I finished getting dressed, I picked up the hose and cleaned up the entire stall, washing down the remains toward the drain in the center of the room. I put down the hose and walked out of the bathroom. I had intended to go to the manager and thank him for all he had done, but when I walked out, three of the management staff were there to greet me with a standing ovation. I started laughing so hard that I thought I was going to throw up again, but managed to scurry out to the car where my wife was now waiting to pick me up by the front door.

The upshot of all this is that I strongly recommend eating dinner at Ryan's Steak House. They have, by far, the nicest management staff of any restaurant in which I have eaten.

I've had a few good meals at Craftsteak, but there are some great restaurants in Vegas that will beat it and most others hands down. In the MGM I'd pick Robuchon over It. Bouchon in the Venetian would be my second fine dining choice. If you like Thai you owe it to yourself to find a way to get into Lotus of Siam. Reservations typically fill up a month out, so it requires some planning but is worth it.

Top of Binions downtown.
Gallagher's at NYNY - have NEVER had a bad meal there; service is top-notch as well
There's a steak place at Monte Carlo - can't think of the name - that was damn good…if it still exists….
And the ones named off-strip above are good as well

I liked Craftsteak at the MGM.

Yeah, we like Binion's too. Old school vibe. Great view in the evening.

I went to STK @ The Cosmopolitan with a couple of friends back in Sept 2019. Not sure what it cost as they treated me, but a dude walked in with an entourage wearing a Super Bowl ring. That what pretty cool. Also probably the best steak I've ever had.

What does a prime NY strip or ribeye with trimmings cost at these places?

Do they use Italian dressing or beer as a marinade? [\ducks, runs for cover]

I'm going to say $70 - $90 for a regular 14 - 16 oz steak at most of the places mentioned here. Not bone-in, not tomahawk or anything special. No trimmings usually. Everything else mostly a la carte.

At least, that was when I was in Vegas last about 6 months ago. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's higher now.

In my experience, the $70 steak is just as good as a pricier one. You're just paying more for ambience and other factors.

Steak is ridiculously overrated. A good steak is simply a function of your wallet. Buy a great piece of meat and heat it without effing it up. It's really that simple. The "best" steakhouse is the one that manages to put those two things together that particular day. I'll take great vegetarian Thai, Indian, African, Pizza, etc. all day over a steak. If I'm in Vegas, I'm going to Lotus of Siam every single time

We always go to Joes steak and stone crab.
