BLT Steak is located in the Bally Casino. Apparently the acronym BLT is for Bistro Laurent Tourondel. Laurent Tourondel being the Executive Chef/ owner of BLT with multiple locations in the US and around the world.
We sat at the bar, in some very comfortable chairs. Very comfortable!
After our drinks were served, complimentary fresh baked popovers w/Gruyere cheese were brought out. Just two words, unique and excellent! A bit of butter, a little wine ... could have called it a meal at that point.
Stuffed mushroom cap appetizer was next, and packed with flavor. Maybe a tad overcooked, but to be fair, the reduction in moisture actually intensified the flavor. Not a huge deal as all four of the caps were eaten; I'll take credit for three of them!
Bone in New York Strip was brought out medium rare as requested. The steak had excellent flavor, with a wonderful char on it. But, I don't think I'm being too picky to say, a $61 steak should be way more tender, shouldn't be chewy!
Service at the bar was excellent, with three different people making our experience a very good one.
We split the steak and mushroom side, and along with four drinks, a $150 bill was dropped. Not something you do every day, so overall, it was worth it.
Kinda goes without saying, but there are endless restaurants to eat at in Vegas, but we both agreed the atmosphere, food and service would definitely cause us to return.
