The decor was very casual and kind of old-fashioned. It did feel a little crammed in there (with the walls closing in on you). But I got the feeling that was intended to create a more cozy, familiar atmosphere.\n\nAs far as the food goes, I thought my steak (beef filet) was actually decent. It was cooked properly at medium rare. The only problem was that it was a little on the salty side. The a la carte sides were nothing special. I did have a crab cake to start and that was mediocre.\n\nFor dessert, they talked up the pecan pie. I ordered that, and it was nothing special though the large man next to me who took some bites from it seemed like he was in love.\n\nThis is the only Smith & Wollensky I've been to so I couldn't tell you if it was any better or worse. However, my experience with most Las Vegas restaurants is that they are (a) below average and (b) overpriced."^^ .
