The Best Las Vegas Steakhouses

Plan the meal

Reserve early for prime dining times, especially on Friday and Saturday. Steakhouses often have a dressier room, but smart casual clothing is generally a safe choice. Leave time for the meal. A proper steak dinner can take two hours once cocktails, sides, and dessert are included.

Order with confidence

• Cut: Filet is tender and mild, ribeye is rich and marbled, New York strip balances tenderness with beef flavor, and porterhouse is built for sharing.
• Temperature: Medium rare is a common recommendation for well-marbled cuts. The kitchen can accommodate another preference, so order the temperature you actually enjoy.
• Size: Ask how much of the listed weight is bone and whether the cut is intended for one person or two.
• Sides: One or two sides are often enough for the table. Creamed spinach, potatoes, mushrooms, and seasonal vegetables are classic companions.

Watch the extras

Steak prices may cover only the entrée. Confirm the price of sauces, supplements, sides, bottled water, and specialty cuts. If the menu lists a market price, ask for today’s figure before ordering. A bar seat or early dining menu can deliver the same kitchen with a smaller total.

Choose the setting

Classic resort rooms suit birthdays, anniversaries, and business dinners. Contemporary rooms work better for a louder, more social night. Downtown and off-Strip restaurants can offer a more relaxed pace and easier parking. Make the reservation based on the evening you want, then plan transportation so the driver is not left guessing after dinner.
