How to Choose a Las Vegas Steakhouse
Pick by the night you want, not a ranking: a celebrity room, a classic chophouse, a party before the club, or a late table off the Strip. The steakhouses worth booking in 2026.
The short answerChoose a Las Vegas steakhouse by the kind of night you want. Gordon Ramsay Steak at Paris is the celebrity-chef pick for beef Wellington, Bavette’s at Park MGM the classic dark-wood chophouse, STK at The Cosmopolitan the lively dinner before a club, and Herbs & Rye off the Strip the late table, serving until 3am. Expect top-end prices: mains at Gordon Ramsay Steak run $48 to $105.

Start with the night, not the ranking
Best-steakhouse lists disagree, go out of date quickly, and rarely say what the room is like. The more useful question is what the dinner is for: a big celebration, a quiet classic meal, a loud start to a night out, or a steak at 1am. Every restaurant below was open when this guide was checked.
On the Strip
Gordon Ramsay Steak, Paris Las Vegas. The celebrity-chef room, known for beef Wellington, the bone-in ribeye and sticky toffee pudding. Mains run $48 to $105, with a set menu at $145. It opens at 4pm on weekdays and serves brunch from 11am at weekends.
Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar, Park MGM. A Chicago-style steakhouse with red leather booths and dark wood, known for its dry-aged ribeye and bone-in filet. Dinner from 4:30pm.
STK, The Cosmopolitan. A lounge-style steakhouse with a busy bar, a dry-aged house ribeye and a well-known corn pudding. The energy suits a group heading on to Marquee downstairs.
By resort
- The Venetian: CUT, from Wolfgang Puck, and Cote, the Korean steakhouse.
- Resorts World: CarveSteak, with a wagyu programme.
- Wynn: Sartiano’s Italian Steakhouse.
- Flamingo: Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse, from 4pm.
- Circa, downtown: Barry’s Downtown Prime, which won a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2025.
Off the Strip
Herbs & Rye on West Sahara Avenue is a 1940s-style supper club with a dry-aged ribeye programme and classic cocktails, open Monday to Saturday from 5pm to 3am and closed on Sunday. Its late hours make it a favourite with people who work in hospitality.
Cleaver on Paradise Road pairs custom-cut steaks with a raw oyster bar and seafood towers, and handles big late-night parties, daily from 5pm to midnight.
Booking and budget
- Book ahead for a group. For ten or more, three to four weeks is sensible.
- Time dinner around the rest of the night, so it finishes before a show or the club door. What to do between the pool and the club has a timeline.
- For a cheap steak, the graveyard steak and eggs at Village Pub & Cafe in Ellis Island costs $8.99 overnight. Eating on the Strip for under $20 has more.
Beware out-of-date lists
Some steakhouse lists still recommend Carnevino at the Palazzo, which closed in 2018. Steakhouses open, move and close, so check the restaurant’s own site before planning a night around a list.
