Okay if you are comped or staying at the Sahara but would not go out of my way again.
Because I had some comps building up I used some of them for dinner here. The Sahara is not the most kept up casino and this steakhouse reflects this.
The waiting area has a small fountain and a high ceiling. The room itself has kind of a mid-east decor that was okay looking but obviously dated.
The greeter had a pleasant English accent and seated us after a minute wait during a peak dining hour during the week. The service after that was pretty good but the restaurant was less than half full so service could have been better.
They bring out a bread basket that only has crusty sour dough rolls. Even the Broiler at Palace Station had at least 2 types of bread.
We both had steaks, a large filet mignon and my 20 oz. ribeye. Both were cooked precisely and were pretty good although I could tell they were wet aged. Wet aged is okay. Dry aged rules!
Her steak was fairly tender but not that great in flavor which is typical for the filet mignons in general. I can't give or take points away for this. The ribeye was fairly good but not outstanding. Marbling was perhaps a bit above average but I prefer more of a char on the outside.
Anyway, in addition to the steaks we had the fingerling hash, mushrooms and creamed spinach. Mushrooms were listed as a sauce but they were more like a side dish. The creamed spinach was one of the worst we've ever had at any steakhouse. Bland and plain. The potato, leek and pancetta hash was pretty good.
Mushrooms were a split vote. I thought it came out too sweet but my girlfriend thought that they were an exceptional value. They were $3 for a good sized helping that included morels which are normally quite expensive. If you are a morel lover and hate spending money for them, this is a major steal. I didn't think the sauce tasted very good.
We didn't get any dessert or coffee because we wanted to leave fairly quickly. The atomosphere is not bad but nothing to deliberately linger for.
Without comps we would not eat here again but once my total gets too big I have to use them up and there is nothing in the gift shop or elsewhere that I would go in the Sahara. Maybe I should concentrate my play more instead of rambling all over town.
