Few restaurants can match the theatricality, scale, and sheer culinary bravado of Bazaar Meat by José Andrés—and its new home at The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort cements its status as one of the best steakhouses in Las Vegas. Known for transforming dining into a multi-sensory experience, José Andrés delivers a celebration of the carnivorous in true Vegas style: bold, inventive, and larger than life. At more than 20,000 square feet, the space — of which is inspired design-wise by Spain’s Feria de Jerez — is as dramatic as the menu itself. Guests are greeted by a processional corridor adorned with bull graphics before entering a dining room anchored by an open-fire kitchen, where signature dishes such as vaca vieja ribeye and Beefsteak Tomato Tartare are prepared with both precision and flair. The restaurant’s iconic creations—Cotton Candy Foie Gras, Caviar Cones, and indulgent Josper-roasted cuts—remind diners why Bazaar Meat has become a destination in its own right. The beverage program is no less imaginative: think Magic Mojitos spun through clouds of cotton candy or tableside martinis crafted to order.

In a city defined by reinvention, the Golden Steer Steakhouse remains a rare constant—an enduring icon that has been serving Las Vegas since 1958. This legendary steakhouse isn’t just one of the best in the city; it’s the very definition of old-school glamour, a place where history, hospitality, and perfectly seared steaks converge. Step inside and you’ll find the same plush leather banquettes once favored by the Rat Pack, Elvis Presley, and Marilyn Monroe. The dining room hums with nostalgia, yet the service and cuisine remain timelessly impeccable. Golden Steer is celebrated for its USDA Prime cuts—carved tableside with classic flourish—as well as its indulgent accompaniments, from jumbo shrimp cocktail to lobster tail bathed in butter. Every detail feels deliberate, transporting diners back to a golden era when Las Vegas was as much about supper clubs as it was about spectacle. What makes the Golden Steer singular is its ability to bridge past and present. It offers not only one of the best steaks in town, but also a rare chance to dine with ghosts of Vegas’ glittering history.

Tucked inside The Venetian Resort, Delmonico Steakhouse is where classic American steakhouse tradition meets Chef Emeril Lagasse’s signature New Orleans flair—making it one of the best steakhouses in Las Vegas.

USDA Prime steaks are butchered in-house and dry-aged to perfection, while Southern influences enliven the menu with bold, unexpected flavors. Signature dishes such as the Bone-In Ribeye, double-cut Pork Chop, and Emeril’s classic Creole-seasoned creations exemplify the chef’s philosophy of elevating tradition with technique. Beyond the plate, the atmosphere is elegant yet approachable—a balance of polished service and warm hospitality that reflects Lagasse’s culinary ethos. Dark woods, leather seating, and an inviting bar create the ideal backdrop for both business dinners and celebratory evenings.

With its unparalleled views of the Bellagio Fountains and its pedigree as one of Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s signature restaurants, Prime Steakhouse at Bellagio has earned its reputation as one of the most iconic steakhouses in Las Vegas. Here, fine dining is elevated by spectacle — both on the plate and just beyond the windows overlooking the Strip’s most famous show. The menu reflects Jean-Georges’ global sophistication, marrying classic steakhouse tradition with inventive flourishes. USDA Prime dry-aged beef, Wagyu selections, and veal chops are cooked with exacting technique, while signature sauces — from soy-ginger to béarnaise — allow for customization that feels both luxurious and personal. Fresh seafood, including chilled shellfish platters and Dover sole meunière, rounds out the offerings, while indulgent sides like truffle mashed potatoes and creamed spinach are prepared with the refinement expected of a world-class kitchen. Inside, the ambiance is as much a part of the experience as the cuisine. Powder-blue walls adorned with Picasso-inspired artworks, plush banquettes, and polished service create an atmosphere that is elegant yet inviting.

And no visit is complete without Bavette’s decadent sides, like elote-style corn or pommes purée, paired with a signature cocktail or a glass from the thoughtful, French-leaning wine list. What truly sets Bavette’s apart, though, is its ambiance: chandeliers cast a golden glow over tufted leather booths, jazz softly underscores the evening, and every detail channels an old-world glamour rarely found on the Strip.

Elevated accompaniments such as creamed spinach, truffle mashed potatoes, and tableside Caesar salad lean into the timeless rituals of steakhouse dining, while inventive cocktails and a deep, international wine cellar keep the experience firmly rooted in the present. The design completes the seduction: opulent yet intimate, with rich leathers, dark woods, and warm lighting evoking the kind of supper club where legends might linger over a final glass of Bordeaux.

CUT

When Wolfgang Puck redefined the American steakhouse with CUT, he set a new benchmark for modern dining — and the Las Vegas outpost at The Palazzo remains one of the Strip’s most stylish expressions of his vision. Sleek, sophisticated, and relentlessly precise, CUT is a study in how to elevate a classic without losing its soul. The menu begins with impeccable sourcing: USDA Prime Nebraska corn-fed, grass-fed Angus from Creekstone Farms, Australian Wagyu, and true Japanese A5 Wagyu from Miyazaki Prefecture. Each cut is grilled over hardwood and finished under a 1200-degree broiler, producing steaks that are as visually striking as they are intensely flavorful. Signature dishes — from bone marrow flan with oxtail marmalade to the robust Porterhouse for two — showcase Puck’s talent for balancing decadence with refinement. The dining room is just as impressive: a minimalist yet inviting space designed by acclaimed architect Richard Meier, where glass, wood, and light converge to create an atmosphere that feels more gallery than chophouse. Service is as polished as the cuisine, with sommeliers guiding guests through a world-class wine list.

Yet what truly sets SW apart is its setting: tables spill out onto an elegant patio overlooking Wynn’s Lake of Dreams, where nightly light shows and waterfall cascades turn dinner into spectacle. Inside, rich woods, plush seating, and refined service complete the scene, ensuring every meal feels like an occasion.
