Having been to Vegas more than several times, eventually you get tired of the food on the strip even if it is the best dinner buffet of all the hotels on the strip. So I asked my friend who goes there for business for one of his recommendations on where a member of the Rat Pack may have dined (although Vegas has changed so much since those days, and even since the last time I've been there!).
Forget Gordon Ramsay's "Steak" - go to a real steakhouse in Del Frisco's! Even if they are not unique to Vegas (check their website for all their locations), the experience felt like Vegas.
I don't really know where to start because everything from the moment we walked in to going out the door was fantastic.
Service - it was all hands on deck as we had a server and host for every aspect of the meal and they were each genuinely attentive. We were "personally" served by at least 5 different people for our party of 4.
Drinks - not a large drink menu, but each drink was made to perfection. For me it was the perfect opportunity to order Don Draper's drink of choice - "An Old Fashioned" - and I could see myself definitely trying to keep up with Don just because of this drink. I don't need to go into their wine collection except needless to say it is amazing - including an appraised $1.5M James Bond limited edition wine set which you must specially request to see.
Delicious sides - I haven't even gotten to the steaks yet because I'll save the best for last. But the sides are a close 2nd. You don't need 2-3 sides per person, but it'll be hard to decide what to share amongst your party. For our party of 4, we got 5 sides and each one no matter how simple it was - it was better than any version of it I've had before. Like spinach! or mushrooms! The MUST have is the Lobster Macaroni and Cheese. Again, one would think based on how good it is we should each get our own order of this super delicious side. But amongst us 4 guys, we barely finished it because it was so rich. And of course we were pretty filled from all the other food/bread.
Finally the steak - good. Very good. My buddy and I had to share their "Tomahawk" Rib Steak which is the biggest steak on their menu - a 32 oz Wangyu American Kobe Rib-eye steak. As mouth-watering as that sounds to the steak-lover who wants to devour all 32 oz of it, there is simply too much goodness to save room for. So if have a willing partner to share the Tomahawk, I highly suggest doing so so you can dip your fingers in everything else Del Frisco has to offer.
We did not make it to dessert but I'm gonna stake my next steak dinner on that it's gonna be worth bursting a button for.
