Which Las Vegas restaurant would you recommend for first-time visitors: The Golden Steer or The Steakhouse at Circus Circus?

And, I suppose most importantly, why?

I haven't tried either, but my answer to these questions is usually "Both." It's Vegas, try it all.

I have only been to the circus circus one of those two but it was excellent.

It's pretty safe to say that there are many great steak houses in Vegas casinos.

I'd suggest the one where you can get a reservation.

What’s your budget? And you don’t need a reservation to eat at most of the popular steakhouses if you don’t mind eating at the bar.

The last time I ate at a bar was about two years ago when tables were unavailable for hours.

Next time I'd have to sit at a bar I'd rather get my order to go and sit at a slot machine.

That way I wouldn't have to put up with splashes of beer and soda spraying my food.

Unless I’m on a date, I think it’s been a couple years since I sat a table

I prefer sitting at the bar

Yup, and watch the game. Doesn’t matter if I’m at an Outback or Flemmings, why wait when you can just sit down and eat.

The Wonderful Wife and I had an excellent dinner at Ruths Chris at Harrahs(?) last year. Beyond the amazing food, etc, what made it extra fun was that it was fully comped. That's just the best part of all.

If you're going all out, the Japanese Wagyu at SW (Wynn) or CUT (Venetian) is beyond reproach, although ridiculously overpriced.


My favorite at Wynn is currently their domestic Wagyu, their Dry Aged Snake River Farms Gold Grade New York Strip.



Now that Majordōmo closed, Delmonico at Venetian remains among the best traditional steakhouses in town, with their dry aged bone in ribeye, shown here cut in half to serve two.

I tell you it’s wonderful to be here, man. I don’t give a damn who wins or loses. It’s just wonderful to be here with you people. https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/betting-systems/33908-the-adventures-of-mdawg/

I made a reservation for The Steakhouse at Circus Circus, but the night before we wound up at Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab at the Caesars Palace Forum Shops — and ordered the 24 oz. bone-in rib eye for $76.95! (We also ordered the stone crab — more about that in the upcoming trip report.)

The steak was excellent, and seemingly a good value for two people. I'll have to wait until our next Vegas visit to experience how steak could be any better. By then, I should be ready for that much meat again!

Joe's is as good as any other steakhouse in Vegas. Circus Circus is good but has lost some of its luster over the last 10 years. Mastro's Ocean Club is very good. Delmonico was my go to choice but really most of the top steakhouses are similar. SW is very good but at the top end of the price range. I also liked Smith & Wollensky. Somebody will probably mention Ellis Island for the $9.99 steak and it is good for the price but doesn't compare to the top steakhouses.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

We had the steak at Ellis Island years ago — for $9.99, it provided a perfectly good meal!
