Five Great Steakhouses in Las Vegas, Nevada

At the Circus Circus, The Steak House offers lower prices than some of the bigger names, but the cold storage display still boasts huge, prime cuts of Midwestern beef dry aged for 21 days. You get to sit in a leather booth and eat brunch style. The atmosphere is more western and down to earth than the more glittery steakhouses on the Las Vegas Boulevard. The service is friendly and prompt and if you aren't used to real Midwestern beef you're in for a real treat for a fraction of what you'll pay at some of the trendier steakhouses.

For a dimly let atmosphere of elegance and intimacy coupled with some serious beef the steakhouse at the Luxor is the place for you. You may wish to bring your Brookes Brothers suit to fit and save up an appetite as you will be faced with Bison rib eye steaks, Japanese Kobe Filet Mignon, and a gargantuan 24-ounce porterhouse. Of course, there's also caviar and ahi tuna with a couscous sauce if one wants to seem more sophisticated than your average carnivore. The cost can run over $40 a plate.

No review of steakhouses can be complete without mentioning a prime spot for some prime rib. Lawry's The Prime Rib Steakhouse uses the rock-salted method and slowly ages their prime cuts for 21 days. You get to see your order carved right at the side of your table off a silver trey. The atmosphere is elegant, and the hospitality is warm and never snooty. They also have some of the best mashed potatoes I've had in quite some time. The art deco interior and vibrant colors give you the feeling you're in a special place. Prices run in upwards of $40 but few things in life beat a good prime rib.

For a multifaceted, elegant dining experience centered around certified 21-day dry aged Black Angus Beef, Charlie Palmer's is a great place to go and stay for awhile. Their filets are known for being tender and more thinly sliced than other steakhouses. They have a variety of creative potato concoctions from mashed to extravagantly decorated baked potatoes as well as signature salads and seafood. They are also in the $40 - $50 price range.

While digesting one of their delectable cuts you can move on into their upscale, but comfortable dining room, you can relax in their cigar friendly lounge and enjoy some soft music with a cognac and people watch trendy business travelers and wannabes alike. The atmosphere is very clubby with some old world European charm coming from the décor.

Hidden amongst the trendy shops of the mall in Caesars Palace is a multi-colored, amber lighted, hip steakhouse known as BOA at Caesars. The interior features couches, leather booths and fabulous views of the strip. Celebrities and the wealthy alike have dined here frequently to enjoy their Kobe Beef, Maine lobster, and 40 day aged New York Cuts seared over an 1800-degree grill and dressed in homemade wine sauces. This is in the $40+ range and you may need to spend much more on the designer fashions to look like you fit in with the debutant crowd.
