text: Inside Circus CircusnnFrom being rewarded to their pretty good rating I am led to believe that we descended upon this restaurant on a really really bad night I will explain why in a momentnnThe first thing I will highlight is how reminded you will be that you are in a steakhouse from all the Cow Decor to the smell of the cooking beef wafting through the air to the kitchen being smack dab in the middle of the dining room to the various cuts of beef being hung on display Honestly not one bit of this impressed me but I was still optimistic because of their reputation The place looks very dated and although it may have been really classy at one point it just has not been long enough to give off a classic or vintage vibennOther than maybe the deserts you will see that the presentation is pretty consistent with most other steakhousesabsent if you know what I mean I feel like one should be able to dine with their eyes as well you know involve all of ones sensesnnWe all started off by sharing their complimentary bread httpwwwyelpcombizphotosthesteakhouselasvegasselectedhsaFHnRCOkQTUSLttpAhnwoRKQPYrnSkXKgOow which was not bad and served as a pretty good precursor to our impending mealnnI then had a bowl of their famous Bean Soup httpwwwyelpcombizphotosthesteakhouselasvegasselectedhsaFHnRCOkQTUSLttpAudUmTWVyeHpBHiEg I freaking love soup and this one was a very good example of a more rare soup that is available I really enjoyed this and now really looked forward to my main entree in the form ofnnTheir BoneIn Ribeye httpwwwyelpcombizphotosthesteakhouselasvegasselectedhsaFHnRCOkQTUSLttpAYctMWaSxLHDxAZg Now I am fully aware they are more known for their Prime Rib but not only am I not as big a fan of PR but I just prefer the cut of a BIR and its wonderful marbling and flavor it normally possesses I say normally because this place managed to deliver a steak that was devoid of flavor and just straight up tedious I did appreciate the fact that my steak was cooked to my requested temperature of MediumRare It had some pretty nice grill marks on the outside and was fairly tender The sides of green beans and baked potato were ok at best again nothing fancy Normally I would never crave Steak Sauce at a Steakhouse or Chophouse but found myself wishing I had brought some in an attempt to wake this poor excuse for a piece of meat up They managed to kill this poor cow twicennTo finish off this meal I felt like I needed something with flavor to make up for what I just consumed so I ordered their Tiramisu httpwwwyelpcombizphotosthesteakhouselasvegasselectedhsaFHnRCOkQTUSLttpADxGHudLbhmiwmePOzaQ which thank goodness was yet another spike up in the graph so to speak This nice piece of Italian Cake was perfect in every way it seriously had a nice balance of flavors textures colors that were all rounded out to a beautiful presentationnnService while kind was pretty forgettable Our server did a really good job of conveying the fact that this was a job and any cordiality was more out of obligationnnThere is plenty of parking at Circus CircusnnOn this night we had received an experience that was totally reflective of the hotel it so comfortably sits in also affectionately referred to as the Shits CarltonnnIm not ready to completely write this place off just yet I just will not be rushing back with all of the great options in Lost Wages
