Enjoy indulgent steaks and hand-crafted cocktails at Las Vegas’ 10 best steakhouses

If you’re a steak fan, you’ll find a lot to like about Las Vegas. Steakhouses are one of the city’s favorite types of restaurants, and you’ll find every style of steakhouse. Whether you’re looking for an experience with red leather booths and a traditional ambiance, or are more interested in a modern eatery with inventive dishes, there’s a Las Vegas steakhouse that you’ll enjoy.

The Las Vegas Strip is home to the majority of the city’s best steakhouses, like SW Steakhouse at Wynn. However, there are several noteworthy steakhouses found off-Strip as well, like Barry’s Downtown Prime at the new Circa in Downtown Las Vegas or Hank’s Fine Steaks & Martinis at Green Valley Ranch. Regardless of which part of the city you’re in, there’s a great steakhouse somewhere nearby.

Guests should expect a steakhouse meal to be expensive, on or off the Strip, so come prepared for a splurge. Although off-Strip restaurants are generally less expensive than comparable Strip eateries, you should still expect a fairly high tab at any Las Vegas steakhouse.

Las Vegas’ best steakhouses aren’t limited to beef. Look for fresh seafood, lamb, veal and pork, even vegetarian and vegan options. Dessert should always get serious consideration, and the beverage selection will probably include an impressive wine list, hand-crafted cocktails and top-shelf spirits.
