| - My husband and I decided last minute to go to Vegas on leap day in 2008 to get married. On the drive to Vegas I booked a room at the MGM. We arrived at the hotel in the early afternoon and then headed out to get a marriage license and get married. When we returned to the hotel we were starving and not sure where to eat we decided on Craftsteak. We put in a reservation and were reminded of a dress code for men. It wasn't an issue because we were already dressed nicely, afterall we had just gotten married. Anyway, we arrived on time and were quickly seated. To our surprise, however, there was a man in the booth next to ours wearing shorts and a football jersey! I think someone forgot to remind him of the dresscode. The place was very dim, almost to the point where you couldn't see what was in front of you. But we were in a great mood and didn't really think much about it until much later (months later in fact). We ordered the 32oz porterhouse for 2, fingerling potatoes, bernaise sauce, and the warm frisee salad, which I don't think is on their menu anymore. We also got a few drinks. The porterhouse was brought to us already sliced into bite size cubes and then pieced back together again, which was nice. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The potatoes were delicous as well as the bernaise, which by the way I have yet to find a bernaise sauce that tasted as good at theirs. Also very good was the warm frisee salad which had some thick pieces of bacon in there. I checked out their current menu and unfortunately I don't see it there so that sucks. My husband and I have been to a number of other steakhouses hoping to find a place that tops this but have yet to find one. The food here was very good, but the price was up there. It was about $250 for the 2 of us! I can't recall if that included the tip or not, but I have a feeling it didn't because we both had a couple drinks each. We'll definitely be coming back here again. In the meantime we'll continue to look for a steakhouse in L.A. that compares.
