The Prime Rib Loft is located in the Orleans Hotel on the second floor and overlooks the casino. It is a medium-sized, low-ceilinged dining room with an eight-seat bar. Although showing a little wear, it is pleasantly decorated with booths and tables covered in red tablecloths, and the walls are adorned with large murals of band and dance scenes. The menu is small and heavy on beef dishes. Indicative of the restaurant's name, the signature food is prime rib.
I recently dined there and had the Orleans Cut, which is 10 oz. of prime rib, accompanied by a chopped lettuce salad and mashed potatoes. The quality of the meal was satisfactory and the service good.
The ambiance and menu of this restaurant is a throwback to the popular prime rib joints of a bygone era - thick cuts of meat with just passable house salads and vegetables as well as reasonable prices for the food and drinks.
The Prime Rib Loft is not a destination restaurant, but if you find yourself at or near the Orleans Hotel, which is off the Las Vegas Strip, like prime rib, and have a hankering for a decent drink, stop in.
