Bavette’s
If you’re looking for a steakhouse that combines elegance with a touch of whimsy, Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar at Park MGM is the place to be. This Vegas outpost of a Chicago classic brings a chic yet laid-back vibe with its French-inspired decor, complete with red leather banquettes and jazz tunes that set the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable meal. Known for its mouthwatering dry-aged ribeye, Bavette’s serves up steaks so flavorful you’ll be planning your next visit before you even leave. 3770 Las Vegas Blvd, (702) 730-6700 mgmresorts.com
Golden Steer
Step back in time at the oldest steakhouse in Vegas, located on Sahara near the World’s Largest Gift Shop. A favorite among members of the Rat Pack (you can sit in Frank or Sammy’s booth – as well as the one once favored by Marilyn Monroe), Golden Steer has waitstaff who have been there for decades and love telling stories. Order old-school favorites like the steak (please, steak only at the Steer), baked potatoes the size of footballs, and its famous fried ravioli. 308 W Sahara Ave, (702) 384-4470 goldensteersteakhouselasvegas.com
Prime
One of two Jean Georges Vongerichten steakhouses (the other is at Aria), Prime’s gorgeous dining room overlooking Bellagio’s famous fountains provides the perfect ambiance for a delicious meal from the world-famous French chef. This is the kind of upscale restaurant where one serving of Wagyu isn’t enough; order the decadent sampler platter. Other standouts include Prime’s famous short ribs and one of the very best bone-in rib-eyes in town. 3600 S Las Vegas Blvd, (702) 693-8484 bellagio.com

This Mandalay Bay favorite famously starts off every meal with a trio of duckfat fries, but save room for the steaks, which are poached with butter and charred on a wood fire grill. The available Wagyu cuts are impressive, but the signature steak is the Kobe rip cap. If the duckfat fries aren’t convincing enough, order an additional side of decadence, such as the fois gras sliders. 3950 S Las Vegas Blvd, (702) 632-7200 mandalaybay.com
SW
Steve Wynn’s eponymous steakhouse offers rare outdoor seating, on a wide patio overlooking his famous “Lake of Dreams,” which puts on min-shows, such as a country music-singing frog, throughout the night. Known for having one of the thickest wine lists in town, SW also now has a vegan menu, since its namesake no longer eats meat (his loss). Like with many of these red meat tributes, reservations are recommended. 3131 S Las Vegas Blvd., (702) 770-3325 wynnlasvegas.com
Andiamo

At this swanky new Italian-meets-steakhouse, in downtown’s D Las Vegas, the menu is loaded with meat for carnivores of all kinds. The steaks hail from top purveyors nationwide, but mamma mia, they aren’t the only option. An order of Andiamo’s enormous meatballs are a must for the table, and the rack of lamb, veal rib chop, and osso bucco also excel. Plus, this is a steakhouse where a homemade pasta or fish entrée is an acceptable substitute on nights when you’re not in the mood for red meat.

Scotch 80 Prime
Looking for a steakhouse that screams Vegas glamour with a side of mouthwatering prime cuts? Look no further than Scotch 80 Prime at the Palms Casino Resort! This spot is all about luxe vibes, with gold accents and a wine cellar that’ll make any sommelier swoon. Diners rave about their exquisite steaks, from dry-aged beauties to Wagyu wonders, and don’t even get me started on the seafood options. The filet mignon and rack of lamb are crowd favorites, and the sides like asparagus with béarnaise are simply to die for. The service? Top-notch, making you feel like a high roller even if you’re just there for the killer social hour. Perfect for a fancy night out or impressing that special someone, Scotch 80 Prime is a must-visit for anyone wanting a true taste of Vegas sophistication. 4321 W Flamingo Rd, (866) 942-7780 palms.com
Gordon Ramsay Steak
When Gordon Ramsay descended on Vegas, his steakhouse at Paris proved that even this irascible Brit could create a knockout all-American beef emporium. His steak cart makes ordering a breeze, and all of his sides, including fire-roasted corn and mac ‘n’ cheese, are delicious. For a finale that’s all-Brit, order the to-die-for sticky pudding that is served with a stick of butter (ice-cream). 3655 S Las Vegas Blvd, (877) 346-4642 parislasvegas.com
