I just read on a social network that Bill's Steakhouse is closing this week. Is the Vegas that us tourists on a budget know and love dwindling away? First OSheas and now Bill's? Whats next?

Looking at their menu, its fairly high priced, not budget.
$39 for a 16oz ribeye? That's right up there, 16oz is not
a huge steak.

But on the other hand, IF Circus Circus closes, all the
people who go there will have to go somewhere else.

So you see, it does serve a purpose !

Dislike Circus Circus all you like, but historically it has made good money.

Circus Circus has a great steakhouse and it would not surprise me if it is MGM's best-performing property after ITDA. I think it's paid off, and they are just raking it in at this point. They have put in some significant renovations so they are positioning it for a sale or a strong hold. For what it's worth, I don't think it is such a bad place.

Caesars has been going away from the company owned Steakhouses in the past few years and leasing them out. I would believe the Range at Harrahs will be next.

Gone:

Steakhouse 46 (Flamingo)
Ballys Steakhouse
Le Artists (Paris)
Nero (Caesars)

I loved the prime rib at Circus Circus, but may have been influenced as someone else was picking up the check.

Circus Circus wouldn't be so bad except that I hate the sound of children's laughter.

I'm hearing good things about the newer steakhouse at the Riviera.

I hope not, I like Fellini's there. Very nice Italian for a very good price.
