| - I consider myself quite the steak fan, and having been to vegas a ton of times, I feel like I have a very good sample of what the best this city has to offer. Whenever I try a new steakhouse for the first time, I judge the place by it's rib eye.
I had a pretty decent 24oz bone in rib eye. It was definitely a prime cut, but the seasoning was very underwhelming. I always refuse to put steak sauces as I am quite the minimalist when it comes to steak, but almost ordered some sauce this time. This was actually a bit shocking, as Gordon himself is quite the critic on his TV shows about other chefs and cooks being shy with seasoning. I also ordered pan seared foie gras which was rather small for the price. Their wines by the glass were quite subpar as well for a steakhouse.
For those vegas goer's that are looking for a good meal with great music, ambiance, and a dog and pony show (they make up some stupid comment about some shuttle taking you from Paris to London har har), this is your place. For those that are looking for a GREAT steak, consider looking elsewhere, but i don't particularly think you can go wrong if you wanted to just try the brand.
If you can't get a table here, I'd consider these ranked by my personal opinion top to bottom:
Carnevino (if dining for two as the rib eye for two is probably the best I ever had)
Delmonico (perfect for those who are minimalists like me who don't mind a little butter)
Craftsteak (good for ambiance too)
Cut
Prime
Honorable mention:
Envy
Lawry's ( not really Steak but damn good)
Gallagher's
