Honestly, it was nice to just come here to reminisce about those visits past. (Ahhh to be a kid again, we can only dream of something so wonderful)
As with any steak house in any reputable hotel/casino in Vegas, the steaks are pretty damn good. This is usually because they hire a head chef who is dead serious, and takes the quality of the food personally. This kitchen is especially interesting because it's behind a huge glass wall so you can actually see them working on yours and everyone else's meal. Pretty cool as oftentimes you don't get to see this in higher end restaurants.
This place doesn't get as overbooked as some of the other more popular steak houses, so that's actually a good thing. There's nothing more annoying than to start calling around and finding out that nobody wants to give you the time of day since you aren't a somebody in this town. It's ok though, those places are usually so hustle and bustle that it's kind of annoying to be honest, I'm the kind of person that likes a more laid back and quiet type of place to eat. That's just me though, obviously everyone is different.
So I got the rib eye, medium rare, and a baked sweet potato on the side. The sweet potato was HUUUUUUGGGGGEEE, which put me on cloud 9 (or maybe cloud 999 for that matter!!) It was truly divine, as it was as soft as a mashed potato inside, and tasted oh so smooooooth. I can't believe how perfectly it was cooked, and it basically distracted me from my steak LOL. Oh yeah, back to the steak.....so that was very good, excellent seasoning on it and cooked very consistent throughout. One notable thing, it comes with vegetables, and while I love those, heed this warning: (Note that some of my mistake here probably come from the fact that I drank I-don't-know-how-much right before this). I ate all the vegetables, and as usual, everyone at the table started shoveling their uneaten food towards me too. But then there was what I thought was a small 1 1/2" round potato half with some little pine tree looking branch sticking out of it. I was like, YES!!! more potato goodies!!! So I ate the whole thing in one bite and started chewing on it. The consistency was not like a potato, but more like a cooked onion or something, And it had a weird roasted flavor, which I didn't like so much so I hurried up and swallowed it. Then like an idiot I realized it was garlic. UggGGGhhhhhHhHhhhhhh.... straight garlic. Great, now I'm going to stink for like 12 hours or more and probably fart up a storm too. Not so happy anymore. Lesson learned.
Overall this place is excellent, non flashy, non crazy, and just a plain great place to have a good meal. They have lobster and some other seafood too, I'm sure that is also good but I didn't have it so I can't confirm.
Our bill for 5 people came to around 60 bucks each with tip, not bad at all for appetizers and alcohol too. I think the alcohol made me completely forget what the appetizers were!!!
No room for dessert, but next time................ =P
