| - I was in Vegas last weekend celebrating my 29th year of awesomeness with a friend of mine who had never experienced Vegas before. Said friend wanted to treat me to a fancy steak dinner, per my request, and I chose STK at The Cosmopolitan. Being a huge fan of the Hollywood location, I was more than excited to check out the Vegas venue. We made reservations on a Friday night for the following Saturday night. Make reservations, this place gets crowded fast.
We arrived Saturday night a few minutes early to our reservation and had glasses of wine while we waited for our table. The restaurant was filled with young folks dressed to impress with a DJ spinning hits all wrapped up in a dimly lit purple hued dining room. Just my kinda scene. Very similar to the Hollywood location. The hostess whisked us to our seat promptly and we sat down to order before we could even finish our first glass of wine.
Browsing through the menu, we decided to share a large portion instead of getting two smaller ones. We went big and got the largest steak option, The Cowboy Rib Steak, at a whopping 34oz for $100. Hey, it's Vegas so expect to shell out coins for stuff. On top of that, we got sides of mashed potatoes and asparagus. While we waited for our food, we were served table bread and nibbled on that while we conversed and watched the booming dining room come alive with people holding their drinks and dancing around. Great time.
Food came out in about 20 minutes and looked amazing. Perfectly medium rare cuts of meat and a heaping portion. The sides were great also. I went in for another glass of wine mid meal because I like to get TURNT with dinner. Our server was constantly checking on us, even with having a pretty busy section (right across from us was a party of 15 or so people). Our meal altogether was roughly $200 and I think it was worth every penny. Though next time, I'd probably skip the asparagus and go for the mac and cheese. That sh*t looked amazing!
If you wanna drop some cash on some great food, nightlife vibes and excellent service while you're in Vegas, do STK. Just make a reservation. Unless you like waiting. I hate waiting.
OK. I *highly dislike* waiting.
