| - If steak is your thing, Bavette's should be on your radar when you're in Vegas. It's a great steakhouse in a city of great steakhouses. This one has distinctive traditional steakhouse decor, very dark, lots of leather and wood. It could be 1950, it could be 2018 when you're at Bavette's. The service is attentive. Menu is very standard steakhouse fare. I started with the champagne smash, which was delicious but too sweet for my palate. I added some club soda to cut the sweetness and liked it much better. This is probably just me. I was expecting champagne level sweet and this one is full-on sweet drink level sweet. I normally just give the bread basket the stink eye if one is delivered to my table, but I couldn't pass it up when they brought out one filled with aromatic, perfect sourdough bread. Crunchy crust and soft center with the ideal sourdough tang. Carbs, you complete me. My dining companion had the wedge salad, and I had the bacon roasted tomato salad. They have a half salad option, which I ordered and still had leftovers. Both of our salads had the BEST bacon ever. Smoky, salty, sweet. A holy trinity of bacon. The hat trick of pork. We both had filets for dinner. Mine was ordered Pittsburg rare, and for a place known for its char, I was disappointed in the low level of char on mine. My husband had a baked potato, which is actually two potatoes, and came with more of that bacon of the gods. I had a baked sweet potato, which was gigantic. You can definitely share salads and sides here if you're so inclined. We ended up with quite a lot of leftover food that we took back to our hotel to enjoy the next day. Plan to swing by your room afterward with a bag of leftovers if you have kitchen facilities where you're staying. I can't say that this was my best steak experience in Vegas, but I can't say it wasn't, either. There are so many different feels to the steakhouses around town, and Bavette's brings a unique experience to Vegas. I'm sure I'll be back.
