| - Went there with my son and my cousin and her husband. My cousin and her hubby are from Vegas and said they hadn't been there in years, but remembered they had good prime rib. Since time was an issue (son and I had tix for Absinthe, make sure you check out my review) and the Gold Coast was right across the street from Palms Place, we said it sounded good. Indeed, it had been years, as apparently the Cortez Room had moved to the other side of the casino since they had last been there.
The other 3 with me ordered the queen cut prime rib with son and cousin's husband adding the crab legs. I got the chicken oscar. The queen cut was supposedly a 10 oz serving. Well, the kitchen must have been feeling quite generous, as they received easily 16 to 18 oz portions. They all raved about the prime rib, with the horseradish being a real highlight. However, the crabs were watery and not very fresh. My chicken oscar was above average and also a generous portion.
In summary, you can probably get prime rib for less in Vegas, but you may compromise quality and portion. So I would have to say if you are close to the Gold Coast and want to have a nice meal, give the Cortez Room a shot.
