Editor's

Letter

“What is a great steakhouse in

town?” My concierge friends,

who run Las Vegas, say this

is one of the most common

questions asked of them by

the 800,000 weekly visitors to

Sin City.

While Las Vegas has for a long

time been deemed The Entertainment

Capital of the World,

it can be easily argued that we

also are a Dining Capital of the

World, a Sports Capital of the

World – go, Aces, Raiders and

Vegas Golden Knights! – and

a Steakhouse Capital of the

World. Welcome to our The

Steakhouse Issue.

Since moving here in 2008,

I’ve had the fortune of meeting

many celebrity chefs. Gordon

Ramsay was very nice and

asked us about our Thanksgiving

traditions. Giada de

Laurentiis is a pint-sized

powerhouse with a big smile

and endless charm. Jose Andres

is a wonderful host with

a matching sense of humor.

Michael Mina, despite his numerous

successful restaurants,

is chill. Morimoto, Serrano,

Puck, Chang, Tosi and Tila –

I like and admire them all.

And local culinary movers

and shakers – among them

James Trees, Elizabeth Blau,

Nicole Brisson, Jamie Tran,

Devin Hashimoto, Mariena

Mercer Boarini, Constantin

Alexander, Gina Marinelli,

John Church and many, many

more – stand alongside the

international star chefs in

passion, creativity and skills.

What a culinary industry and

city!

Also in this issue of Vegas

Prime Magazine beyond an

extensive list of our favorite

steakhouses: a guide to wines

to have with a steak dinner,

musings on our favorite side

dishes with a steak dinner,

That’s Hot! (our tips for

can’t-miss events while in Las

Vegas) and The Last Word,

which this issue includes

Celine Dion, Daisy Ridley

at “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and

Brazilian soccer star Neymar.

Vegas Prime Magazine loves

Las Vegas, so put a, ahem,

steak in it, and stay for a spell.

Welcome to Fabulous Las

Vegas – and enjoy your time in

this Steakhouse Capital of the

World. A little more horseradish

and au jus, please!

STEAKHOUSE ISSUE

Feast your eyes on our favorite

steakhouses in Las Vegas – more than

50 of them. Some have been around

for decades (The Steakhouse at Circus

Circus and Golden Steer on Sahara).

Some rule Downtown Las Vegas (Vic

& Anthony’s at Golden Nugget and

Barry’s Downtown Prime at Circa).

Some are new steakhouses on the

block (Papi Steak and Don’s Prime,

both at Fontainebleau Las Vegas),

some are next level and affiliated

with celebrity chefs (Bazaar

Meat by Jose Andres at

Sahara, Gordon Ramsay

Steak at Paris and

StripSteak by

Michael Mina).

And some are

slaying off the

Las Vegas Strip: Harlo Steakhouse in

Downtown Summerlin, Echo & Rig

in Tivoli Village and The District at

Green Valley Ranch, Hank’s at Green

Valley Ranch Resort, T-Bones at Red

Rock Resort – and so many more. Even

a handful of chain steakhouses made

our list because they’re that good.

Did we miss any steakhouses?

Sadly, a few were omitted

because there was no

Las Vegas entrepreneur

Jeffrey Fine is many things:

Financier. Founder. Father.

Foodie?

“I think to call yourself a

foodie, you need to be able

to actually cook yourself,”

Fine jokes. “I don’t think

anybody would want to eat

anything that I’ve made for

them.”

That may be true, but this

renowned restaurateur is

doing, well, just fine.

As President and CEO of

the Las Vegas-based The

Lev Restaurant Group, Fine

oversees and develops a

diverse culinary collection

that continues to expand

eating experiences across

the Las Vegas Valley.

Everything from Harlo

Steakhouse and Al Solito

Posto to La Strega and The

Golden Tiki – and let’s not

forget his latest eponymous

venture, Fine Company

– The Lev Group has got

dining out down to a fine

art.

DOWN TO

A FINE ART

Jeffrey Fine puts his heart into everything he does

with The Lev Restaurant Group

By Stacey Gualandi

“I very much believe in the

future of what’s happening

here, and this is my way of

being part of the growth,”

Fine says. “I’m a local. I

grew up here, and I’ve been

here for a long time.”

In fact, Fine is a third

generation of Fines. Among

numerous accomplishments,

his father Mark is

the godfather of Las Vegas

master-planned communities,

and like father,

like son, he is following

in his father’s footsteps

by successfully developing

retail, real estate and gaming

industries right in their own

backyard.

“Our approach is to just stay

here, close to home, in a

place that we know well and

where we can leverage our

resources,” Fine says about

carrying on the family tradition.

“[But] if I could have

been a professional baseball

player, I would’ve done that.

Ha!”

While Fine has no plans on

leaving Las Vegas, he is a

fierce proponent of getting

out of town, especially to

Maine in the summer.

“I like exploring, traveling

and importing places that

are doing well back here

to Las Vegas,” Fine says.

“Driving up and down

the [Maine] coast, there’s

lobster shacks, clam shacks,

and just the whole experience

of doing that inspired

me, for instance, to bring

a lobster roll business to

Vegas.”

Founded in 2002, The Lev

Group began as a way to

“inspire, create, develop

and operate world-class

experiences for food and

beverage concepts in the

restaurant industry.” Their

initial growth came down

to being “opportunistic.”

“I think a lot of what we

were doing in the beginning

was more of ‘see an

opportunity and then

figure it out later,’ but I

think we’ve gotten more

strategic,” Fine says.

Fine says the name Lev

also has a special significance.

It is the Hebrew

word for “heart” and the

name he gave his son

Levin, who was born with

Down Syndrome.

“He is the heart of our

family, and at the time, we

were just very inspired by

him and the way the community

came together and

supported us. That’s why

we named the company

after him, in a nutshell.”

Anyone who knows the

restaurant business says that

to be a destination dining

experience, like Harlo Steakhouse

in Summerlin (the

Snake River Farms Ribeye

Cap is his go-to!), you have

to put your heart into your

work.

“The secret sauce is the

people. End of story.”

While Fine says he’s had to

kiss a lot of frogs along the

way, he is a matchmaker of

sorts when it comes to putting

together a team at each

of his new restaurants.

“You have to find a group

of like-minded people who

are motivated by being on

a team and creating success

for everybody. Then the

right things will start to

happen,” Fine emphasizes.

As far as future plans, he

admits that there are challenges

right now.

“There’s disruption in the

labor market. Not as many

people are working in food

and beverage as there used

to be, and then on the

technology side, there’s just

the way people eat, order

and dine. It’s different than

it was not very long ago.”

But an optimistic The Lev

Group has several projects

on “the dry board.”

“I want to continue doing

great things with great

people and try to have

some fun along the way,”

Fine adds.

Of course, I couldn’t let

him go without asking

which of The Lev Group’s

restaurants is his favorite.

“Oh, I can’t do that.”

But after a beat, he adds

with a wink, “There is

only one with my name

on it.”

Check, please!

AMBIENCE

The steakhouse by James

Beard-nominated Gina

Marinelli and The Lev Restaurant

Group’s Jeffrey Fine is

elegant and refined and with

a beautiful bar and natural

lighting. If you dined there

when it was Andiron Steak &

Sea, you won’t recognize the

transformed steakhouse.

MENU RECOMMENDATIONS

The steaks include Kansas

City New York strip, Wagyu

tomahawk and Chateaubriand.

Chef selections during a

recent dinner: Hamachi taco,

potato cake with lox and

caviar, to-die-for Japanese

milk bread, endive salad,

spring pea pasta, ribeye and

tallow potatoes.

PRO TIPS:

Want to feel like a VIP and

have all eyes on you? The

tomahawk and caviar service

are presented on a wooden

Harlo cart. Booyah! And you

have Downtown Summerlin

post-dinner to walk off the

calories.

The steakhouse at The

Orleans with a traditional

American vibe is a perfect

pregame before watching

the wonderful “Jersey Boys

Vegas” or before or after an

exciting West Coast Conference

Championships game at

The Orleans Arena. Go, Zags!


The New York steak, diver

scallops and Chocolate Decadent

Mess make for a great

dinner alongside a glass of

wine or a cocktail. The American

fine-dining steakhouse

also has a fireplace.

PRO TIPS

Again, make it a night out

with Alder & Birch and “Jersey

Boys Vegas.” You won’t regret

it. And order an Old Fashioned

with maple bacon, a salty

and savory garnish for this

all-time-favorite cocktail.

The OG steakhouse from

Detroit is the definition of

old school steakhouse and

The tomahawk, which is being

highlighted everywhere

right now in Summer 2024,

the Grande Meatball (no

relation to Ariana, as far as

we know) and the lobster

bisque. Don’t forget the fresh

seafood selections, including

oysters and scallops. And the

Caesar salad – please keep

reading.

PRO TIPS

Who doesn’t love tableside

service? Andiamo’s special

touches include personal

attention for the Caesar

salad. There can never be

too many anchovies, so extra

anchovies, please. And the

The steakhouse transplant

from Chicago is a sophisticated

Magazine favorite.


The aforementioned

seafood tower, crab cake,

duck and goat cheese

terrine, filet, ribeye, bone

The multiple James Beard

Award recipient’s steakhouse

is dark, hunter chic

(with fun taxidermy) and a

Meat is one of the best

steakhouses in Las Vegas

and a Vegas Prime Magazine

favorite.


Dare we say it’s impossible

to order wrong at Bazaar

Meat? Everything is that

good. José’s Taco, featuring

Ossetra caviar, caviar cone,

modern and traditional

olives, ribeye, suckling pig,

lamb rack, chicharrons,

beefsteak tomato tartare

and beef tartare (the best in

town?). The Ultimate Tasting

and Jose’s Way Tasting are

highly recommended dining

options. Kudos, Executive

Chef Frank Medina.

PRO TIPS

Even after all these years,

the foie gras cotton

candy still stands out for its

uniqueness. The Consummé

Cocktail, with warm beef

consummé, is for the

adventurous. And Sahara’s

fine-dining steakhouse.


Highlights include Piedmontese

flat iron steak,

filet mignon, 5 oz. Miyazaki

The upscale steakhouse in

The Palazzo (even though

the website is The Venetian)

is a modern restaurant,

but we consider it a classic

because it’s helmed by OG

celebrity Chef Wolfgang

Puck. Cut is modern and

sexy and hasn’t lost its

touch in decades of serving

top-notch steaks.


Puck is synonymous with

star restaurateurs with

a culinary empire, and

highlights at Cut include

the filet, housemade steak,

Wagyu sliders, chilled oysters,

hand-cut prime steak

tartare, banana cream pie

and the Valrhona Chocolate

Souffle.

PRO TIPS

Cut is one of the first

steakhouses where we

were presented with the

uncooked cuts of meat.

Gordon Ramsay Steak at

like this practice; it adds a

This steakhouse at the new

Fontainebleau Las Vegas is

classic and sophisticated,

and don’t be fooled by the

elegant front-entrance

There are multiple dining

rooms, and they go far, far

“I would suggest the Cross

Creek Wagyu, an amazing

100% Wagyu grown in

Colorado and exclusively

served at Fontainebleau

Las Vegas. It is one of the

most memorable steaks you

will ever eat!” says Don’s

Prime Executive Chef Patrick

Munster. We also enjoyed

the truffle risotto, jumbo

lump crab cake, seared

Ora king salmon and sticky

toffee pudding.

PRO TIPS

One cocktail is garnished

with a little feather. We love

this, along with the cart

There are two locations of

Sam Marvin’s reimagined

classic California steakhouse

in Las Vegas, the

original in Tivoli Village and

the second in The District

have patios.


The steaks on the menu are

presented as a grid, and it’s

cool even if, like yours truly,

science. The portobello fries

are a must-order alongside

the Creekstone Farms ribeye

cap with shoestring onions,

burger, pork belly burnt ends

and butcherstrone soup with

beef, lamb and pork.

PRO TIPS

When Marvin opened Echo

Complementing

the main course

What to order alongside prime meats

at Las Vegas steakhouses? So many

side dishes, so little time

Bread

With butter? Yes, please.

Just don’t fill up before the

rest of dinner arrives.

Standouts: The bread

service at Twin Creeks at

Silverton for its variety. The

Steakhouse at Circus Circus

because it includes pretzel

rolls. Harlo in Downtown

Summerlin because the

Japanese milk bread is to

die for.

Seafood

There are many steakhouses

in Las Vegas that offer

seafood towers, and they are

outstanding.


Standouts: Ocean Prime

at 63 at Las Vegas Boulevard

and Harmon, Top of

the World at The Strat and

Bavette’s Steakhouse at

Park MGM. Try not to fill up

on seafood before the steaks

arrive.


Potatoes

Are we realizing that

side dishes to steaks are

a detriment in terms of

not filling up early at

dinner? One main culprit

is the loaded baked

potato. We’re not even

addressing fries, mashed

potatoes and other

delicious and heavy

iterations.

Standouts: Nicco’s at

Durango and Golden

Steer on Sahara Avenue,

home of “the largest

baked potato” in Las Vegas,

and of course they’re

loaded up with cheese,

sour cream, bacon bits

and chives. OK, it would

be tough to pass up the

hash browns at STK in

The Cosmopolitan.

Vegetables

We’re going to cheat a

little here because you

can get broccoli, corn

and asparagus, especially

asparagus, everywhere

right now.

Standouts: For a twist,

order Phil’s Endive Salad

at Phil’s Steakhouse at

T.I., the portobello fries

at Echo & Rig in Tivoli

Village and The District

at Green Valley Ranch

and the burrata and

roasted baby beets at

Carversteak in Resorts

World.

Macaroni and Cheese

Sure, it might be your

child’s favorite meal,

but the cheesy concoction

has been elevated

for years in steakhouses.

Standouts: Fried lobster

mac and cheese at Vic

& Anthony’s at Golden

Nugget, the Boursin

mac and cheese gratin

at Alder & Birch at The

Orleans and truffle mac

and cheese at Herbs &

Rye on Sahara Avenue.

Desserts

Is there a steakhouse in

Las Vegas that doesn’t

have at least one good

dessert? Unlikely, we

say.

Standouts: The chocolate

cake at Papi Steak

(OK, we wrote this partly

because it rhymes) at

Fontainebleau is fabulous.

The cheesecake

at Triple George Gril

at Downtown Grand is

one of the city’s best.

And this is a sweet and

Andres at Sahara is decadence

By Marisa Finetti

VP of Wine & Beverage

Operations, The Lev

Restaurant Group.

THE PERFECT MATCH

Steak

&

Wine

Other wines to try with

grilled meats are Garnacha

or Priorat from Spain

or Cannonau from Italy.

Their flavors of rich, ripe

red raspberries, orange

zest and moderate tannins

make these wines excellent

choices.

“My particular favorites to

recommend, no matter the

cut, are Syrah blends from

the Rhone Valley in France

and Spanish Tempranillos

because their blends will

have enough complexity

that everyone will find

something to love about

the pairing,” says Justin

Tilley, wine director at One

Steakhouse at Virgin Hotels

Las Vegas.

Pairing wine and steak is essential

in your gastronomic

journey. With various cuts

and preparations, discover

these steak-friendly red

wines, but be open to more

unconventional choices.

The right wine can elevate

your steak dining experience.

When in doubt, ask

your sommelier.

UNDERSTANDING

THE BASICS

Pairing wine with steak is

about balancing and complementing

the flavors and

textures of both. Red wines

are generally the best choice

because their tannins help

cut through the meat's richness.

For example, flavors

from grilled meat present

the perfect opportunity to

welcome a spice-driven, savory

varietal like Northern

Rhône Valley Syrah.

“The notes of pepper

and sanguine character

of a great Côte Rôtie and

Saint-Joseph work wonders

with a wood-fired grilled

steak,” says Kester Masias,

“For me, steaks call for

Italian reds with elevated

or high tannins, and

maybe with a little bit of

age,” says Miklos Katona,

director of wine at The

Venetian. “A wine made

from Nebbiolo, Sangiovese

or Corvina grapes could be

a life-changing experience.”

LEANER CUTS

Filet mignon, known

for its tenderness rather

than its strong beefy flavor,

is well-suited for medium-bodied,

fruit-driven red

wines.

“I lean toward right bank

Bordeaux, where Merlot

displays these characteristics

in the glass,” Masias

says.

62


Tilley agrees with choosing

wines from Bordeaux’s right

bank for leaner cuts of steak.

“More Merlot and Cabernet

Franc over there! … Or a

good Pinot Noir from Oregon

or Sonoma.”

MARBLED CUTS

Steaks with rich marbling

and intense flavor call for a

wine with higher tannins.

Masias recommends

Brunello di Montalcino and

Sagrantino di Montefalco

from Italy. The boldness of

the wine stands up to the

richness of the steak, while

the tannins help cut through

the fat.

“For ribeye, the king of

steak, I’d pair the king of the

wines, Barolo,” Katona says.

DRY-AGED STEAK

During dry aging,

moisture evaporates, concentrating

the meat’s flavor,

while natural enzymes break

down the meat, resulting in

a more tender texture. Dryaged

steak pairs well with

full-bodied red wines – that

complement its rich, intense

flavors – such as aged wines.

“More mature wines that

readily show their secondary

notes and earth tones make

for a harmonious pairing

with dry-aged steak,” Masias

says.

“For aged steak, where there

is less moisture content

combined with sweet and

funky flavors, I’d choose an

Amarone della Valpolicella,”

Katona says. The wine’s deep

fruit flavors, velvety texture

and balanced acidity complement

the steak’s savory

and umami notes.

DIFFERENT STEAK

PREPARATIONS

STEAK TARTARE

“A crisp Provençal rosé

is my go-to,” Masias says.

“Steak tartare calls for the

flavors found in red wine

while pairing with the structure

of a white wine. Rosé

hits both marks readily.”

A light-bodied red wine

like Beaujolais is also an

excellent match.

STEAK SANDWICH

A casual steak sandwich

calls for a wine that can handle

a variety of flavors and

textures. “Steak sandwiches

are fantastic with a humble

cru Beaujolais,” Masias says.

Slightly chilled, preferably.

EXPERIMENTING

WITH UNCONVEN-

TIONAL PAIRINGS

Don’t be afraid to experiment

with unconventional

choices. For example, a fizzy

Lambrusco di Sorbara can

be a delightful surprise with

a rich, fatty steak. Its mildly

sweet to-dry flavors contrast

with the savory meat, and

its effervescence wipes the

palate clean.

Or try a chilled Grignolino

or Freisa from Italy. These

are crushable wines with a

high tannic grip that add a

bright lift to virtually any

steak experience.

LAST WORD

In honor of the late Robin Leach, Vegas Prime

VEGAS PRIME WHISPERS

Which singer’s fingernails were so long, she couldn’t

open her backyard barbecue, while a little later watching

her try to eat a burger was a sight to behold. Diva!

(And we live for it.)

Which Strip headliner is a total sweetheart and “straight

as an arrow.” That sound you hear is many hearts

breaking.

Was that Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins at

Papi Steak steps away from Bleau Live Theater shortly

after his band’s concert ended?

Does one Strip headliner’s act include transphobia?

CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS

Why do some content creators think it’s OK to hold up

a line at parties to spend five minutes taking individual

photos? It’s not OK. Better yet, it’s OK to cut lines to

record content? It’s not OK.

Which late beloved singer left a Grammy Award to her

longtime publicist? Very touching.
