text: I was at Ballys due to a convention and was already put off by the room and a gym that is only open from am to pm i am still scratching my head about that Anyway I was in Vegas going on my second day and was not willing to eat at another buffet and I was really in the mood for a steak Coworkers that were at the convention kept talking about Gordon Ramseys restaurant in Paris I was not willing to mortgage my house to eat dinner So I decided to venture into Ballys Steakhouse My son gave me a little toy solder Capt Chaos to take pictures of while I was out so that he could see what i was up to when i am off travelling for work Good Times I was a little concerned because restaurants with the same name as a hotel usually are lame but i was pleasantly surprised nnI was greeted by the hostess and she was able to sit me right away even without reservations I noticed that the majority of tables were set up to sit two people comfortably If you had more than in a party the tables might be too crowded assuming that your group orders appetizersdrinks etc There were two groups with about people but they were placed more in the middle of the restaurant where there is a lot of foot traffic As soon as I sat the waiter let me know that he was helping another table and would be right with me Another person swept through and supplied some water and some warm bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar Next the waiter came by and recommended a nice Pinot Noir from the Russian River excellent I ordered the Caesar Salad average for starters For the main course I ordered the Bone In Ribeye oz with the baked potato and grilled asparagus The steak was great Way better than I expected medium rare very nice sear and tender I did not need to add any additional seasoning which was great It was probably one of the better steaks I have eaten in my short life here on this rock I took several pictures of Capt Chaos posing on the steak He was impressed too The asparagus was cooked just right and the potato was a potato All in all i was very happy with my meal and would most likely go back whenif i stay at Ballys in the futurennWord
