40 years ago Bob Taylor's Ranch House was out in the middle of nowhere, when Rancho was the main drag out to Tonapah. It was famous for either a last good meal out of town, or a great place to stop after you and your mob buddies gave Vinnie a ride out to the desert to do some "star gazing".
Nowadays the sprawl of Vegas has caught up to it, and the glamor of driving out to it seems a little less like a road adventure. The restaurant can be a little tricky to find since it is now almost surrounded by housing tracts.
That all changes when you step inside though, the atmosphere is probably very similar to what it was back in the early days of Vegas, and that is a good thing. The place is famous for its Steaks, and I will have to say that it doesn't disappoint in that department . The last time I was there I ordered the 12oz New York with Ranch House Potatoes and they were both excellent. Everyone in my party that night gave the place a thumbs up. I have to say that I will be going back to Bob's Ranch House, if not for the food, then maybe to channel Dean-o while I am at the bar.
