Steakhouse Restaurants in Las Vegas

If you’re craving a steak in Las Vegas, you’re spoiled for choice but also need a bit of insider know-how. The Strip might grab all the attention, but some of my favorite steakhouses are tucked just off it, like Golden Steer in downtown Vegas which has been slinging slabs of perfectly cooked meat since before most of the megaresorts even existed.

Need a recommendation? For a classic Vegas steakhouse vibe with a side of history, don’t miss the Prime Steakhouse at Bellagio. The views of the fountains add just the right atmosphere for a night out. But if you’re feeling something different, head to a place like Bazaar Meat by José Andrés in the Sahara. It’s a little wild, a little experimental, and the wagyu there will make you forget everything you thought about steak.

A quick tip: if you’re visiting in the summer, Vegas heat can be brutal, so try making a later dinner reservation to avoid the rush and enjoy a cool, leisurely meal. Also, ask your server for the bone-in ribeye recommendations – often the best cuts don’t make it to the main menu. Vegas steakhouses know their meat. And trust me, it’s worth seeking out the spots the locals go to, not just the flashy tourist traps.
