| - Lawry's is the best prime rib Las Vegas has to offer, period.
@ Prime Rib - You come here for the prime rib. They have a variety of cuts ranging in different prices. in terms of price, the beef bowl is the best bang for your buck, IF you can finish the 24 oz (w/ bone) of prime rib goodness for $49. The Lawrys cut is around 10oz of prime rib for $36. The best for most people.The California cut is around 6oz for $32. Not worth it unless you have a small appetite. It may be worthwhile to just share a beef bowl if you're planning on doing a California + Lawrys cut. There are more cuts, but I think these are the only cuts you should be interested.
Also, you must get rare or medium rare. It just makes the carver sigh if you order any other temperature of meat. If you don't eat your meat red, you really have to try it just once. Its worth it.
@ Bread - Good bread is the type of bread that makes you keep grabbing more before your delicious prime rib comes out. This would have been the case if I wasn't getting a beef bowl.
@ Spinning Bowl Salad - Being the guy I am, I really don't like my greens. But this salad was very fresh and just good. Spinning your food before eating must make everything taste better!
@ Yorkshire Pudding - This is actually bread. People seem to love this, I don't. This is more of a personal preference though.
@ Mash Potatoes - This is really the only disappointing item. It just lacks flavor and just doesn't have the nice smooth mash potatoes texture that I want. I love mash potatoes, so this was a big deal for me. My favorite mash potatoes is the one at Cheesecake Factory, and they give you mountains of that stuff! Yum
Besides the prime rib, one of the strongest key points is the attention to detail. Service is top notch. The wait staff is very friendly and very attentive. You're treated like a king or queen here. The first time you come here, you'll be awed by the presentation of the spinning bowl salad. They also provided you a cold fork just for your salad. Drinks are refilled fast. If you have leftovers, they package everything for you. Lastly, if you babies in your party, they provide you stands for the baby car seats. All of this attention to detail is what separates those 4 star and 5 star restaurants.
This is a nice restaurant, so try to dress appropriately. However, they really don't enforce any dress code. I did come in shorts, a t-shirt, and flip flops and they didn't seem to mind. I did feel like I was underdress though.
If a cute girl wants to go to Lawrys, you take her here. No excuses. There is no substitution in Vegas. The smile in her face at the end of the meal will be worth the price you pay.
Other than the mash potatoes, I have zero complaints about this place. I want to give this place a 5 star for the great prime rib, service, and attention to detail, but the disappointing mash potatoes just won't let me give this place a 5 star.
P.S. Don't bet that you finish 2 beef bowls, you won't. Trust me on this.
