If you love old Vegas the way I do, you will really appreciate a fine-dining restaurant that is located within the 2nd dingiest casino on the strip (after the Riviera) and won best steak in town for like 40 years or something ridiculous. Arriving for our reservation, valet was kinda backed up, so my husband dropped me off while he went to park in the garage. The maitre'd greeted me promptly, seated me, and asked my husband's name so he could seat him when he arrived. On the way to our table, I was shown the meat room, which has all types of beef, including halves of cows, hanging up and aging. Cool. Service was friendly and efficient, from the bread basket to a bottle of champagne, to our meals, to the dessert cart. We had the petite filet and the ribeye and both steaks were excellent - seared on the outside and pink to red inside. The sides were good, and we really enjoyed the seafood platter appetizer. Even better than the 'classic-ness' of the Steak House is the value. We ate steaks with salads and sides (no a la carte here), a seafood appetizer, bottle of Moet, and cheesecake for $240 with tip. I'm torn on 4 vs 5 stars because of the Circus Circus locale. That place is old and pretty gross, but in a way, that makes me want to give the restaurant its extra star. It remains at 4 for now, until I make an equally excellent return visit. I recommend that every local visit The Steak House at least once and would also endorse it for tourists yearning for a little of that old style steakhouse feel.
