Best Las Vegas Steakhouses

We all eat, every day, generally several times a day, but it’s only on rare and special occasions that we set aside the time (and often the money) to visit a really good steakhouse. Vacations (and anniversaries perhaps) are the prime excuse to order a great porterhouse or rib-eye, thus you may find the following list of the best Las Vegas steakhouses to be extremely valuable the next time you find yourself on the Strip.

Top of Binion’s Steakhouse

Billed as “Vegas’ best kept secret”, the Top of Binion’s Steakhouse offers superb dining, from the succulent filet mignon to the Australian lobster tail, steamed to perfection. Every dish is prepared to your precise request. If you’re in town long enough, be sure to try the signature dish, Fried Chicken Lobster, an absolute favorite of the locals. Top of Binion’s is not too pricy considering the competition. The average entrée price is $52. If you want an excellent meal at a decent price, this is the place.

Carnevino at the Palazzo/h3>

Carnevino has a certain appeal that is beyond appreciable for any true meat connoisseur. Be warned though, your wallet is going to feel noticeably lighter when it’s over. The cheapest steak on the menu is over $60, and the absolute best—the dry aged bone-in rib-eye—is going to set you back $72 per person. Why is it so pricey? Because Carnevino, located within the Palazzo Hotel and Casino, ages their meat not for a week, not for a month, but for a minimum of 260 days. It’s a feast your taste buds will never forget!

Craftsteak at MGM Grand/h3>

Craftsteak is such a unique place because, while the steaks and other traditional main-course meats are delicious, the selection of side dishes is the absolute best in the city. You won’t find fresher, more flawless vegetables anywhere, and head chef Matt Seeber sure knows how to cook them! Whether you’re a beef buff (try the wagyu skirt steak!) or a vegetarian, you’ll love Craftsteak, located on the Strip within the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino.

Nero’s at Caesar’s Palace/h3>

Nero’s, inside Caesar’s Palace, is another spectacular destination for amazing aged beef. Lead by head chef Eirc Damidot, whose French lineage has an obvious and appreciable influence on the cuisine, Nero’s is easily the best Las Vegas steakhouse for a New York strip steak, and the Bearnaise sauce is to die for. The sides and deserts aren’t lacking anything either. For the most part, the prices are reasonable, although the signature dish, a 30oz lollypop-cut rib-eye, runs $77.

Delmonico at the Venetian/h3>

Headed by the renowned chef Emeril Lagasse, the Delmonico Steakhouse at the Venetian Hotel and Casino was an obvious choice for the best Las Vegas steakhouses. Be sure to wear comfortable pants because you’ll likely be loosening that belt before it’s all over. Lagasse is known for his intense high-calorie cuisine, but you are in Vegas after all; might as well enjoy it to the “fullest”! You won’t be surprised by the palatability of each and every item on the menu, but you might be amazed that the menu prices are actually cheaper than most steakhouses in Vegas.

Prime at the Bellagio/h3>

If price is not an issue, head directly to the Prime Steakhouse at the Bellagio, right on the Las Vegas Strip. Though the menu is one of the most expensive in Sin City, it’s a virtual guarantee that you won’t be disappointed. From the tender mouth-watering steaks that are almost as delicious to the eyes as they are to the palate, to the succulent side dishes and luscious dessert menu, the inherited influences of chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is delectably apparent.

Stripsteak at Mandalay Bay/h3>

Stripsteak at the Mandalay Bay Casino and Hotel has a lot of highlights, but none more noteworthy than the intensity of tenderness in each cut of steak. Each porterhouse and rib-eye is vacuum sealed and poached (they call it “sous-vide”) on low heat, and then at just the right moment, seared on the grill for that perfect balance of tenderness and savor-ability. And that’s just the steaks… The entire Stripsteak menu has a desirable element that keeps guests returning time and again. Do take note that the average check, per-person, runs $110.
