OUR
RECOMMENDATION |
|
The
name
may sound more like a brothel than a restaurant but trust
us, the only fresh meat you’ll want to sample here are
the prime cuts of beef charred to perfection.
Strip House, located inside Planet Hollywood Resort &
Casino, redefines the traditional steak house, thanks to renowned
restaurateurs Peter, Penny and Matthew Glazier, along with
executive chef Matthew Glazier. The 10,000-square-foot restaurant,
which seats 128 in its main dining room, provides a unique
atmosphere -- a sexy blend of rosy lighting and flock wall
coverings adorned with black and white photographs of scantily
dressed women from the original 1900s Studio Manasse collection.
The result is a playful, sexy and vintage atmosphere reinforced
by LCD screens that display provocative silhouettes throughout
the main and three private dining rooms.
An innovative steakhouse. Strip House’s menu includes
such entrees as New York Strip, Bone-In Rib-Eye, Chateaubriand
and Filet Mignon, as well as Maine Lobster, Pan Seared Red
Snapper, Sesame Crusted Yellow Fin Tuna and Colorado Rack
of Lamb. The menu is limited and expensive but there is an
ample selection of appetizers and side dishes that include
black truffle creamed spinach, goose fat potatoes, and creamed
corn with pancetta. There is also a dessert menu ( experience
the decadent 24 Layer Chocolate Cake) as well as an extensive
wine list.
Strip
House is open 5 – 11 p.m. Sunday – Thursday and
5 – 11:30 p.m. Friday – Saturday
Reservations are suggested and can be made by calling 702.737.5200.
All major credit cards are accepted. -

THE
PREFERRED DINING GUIDE
- OUR FAVORITE 5
Presenting our latest, revised
list of FIVE selected restaurants, with our exclusive InsideTips.
Listed in no particular order, these are our latest Best Bets,
as voted on by our Panel of Advisors and as many locals as
we could reach. If you pick one or two every few days, these
will keep you full for while.
America
at New York-New York |
| Inside
Tip: Ask for a table with a view. Nobdy
seems to think of that, according to 75% of the people
we spoke to. Don't even think of visiting this one on
the Friday or Saturday nights. Too many tourists. Best
nights? Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Always ask for the
unadvertised special. Most of the time, that's what you'll
end up having, it's that good. |
Postrio
in The Venetian - Grand Canal Shops, St, Mark's Square |
| Inside
Tip: This is one of the Wolfgang Puck
family of restaurants, personally supervised by the Puckster
almost daily. Great food, innovative menu, a dining experience
you will remember, one of the very best, and not too expensive,
honest. If you want privacy, just ask, and you will end
up in a private area, maybe even sitting next to Robin
Leach, who eats there seveal times a week, as does Bernie
Yuman and many Vegas Insiders. Alway recommend the specials
here, the freshest of ingredients. |
Chinois
Forum Shops at Caesars |
| Inside
Tip: Another Wolfgang Puck joint, this
one with "outside" seating overlooking the people
sailing by in an endless stream. Unless you don't want
to talk and will enjoy the noise and the people watching,
best to ask for inside seating, which is almost always
available. Great menu, changes often, never had a bad
meal. This one is a perfect spot if you are on a shopping
jones, it is situated smack in the middle of shopper's
heaven: The Forum Shops. You can eat really well here,
and still be right in the action, saing precious time
for more shopping |
|
Ferraro's
on Flamingo
|
| Inside
Tip: Strictly a locals place, but Mimmi
loves "foreigners" any time at all. Homemade
pasta, pizza, soups and traditional salads, a family-owned
and operated joint for many years, sauce you'll be craving
long after you've eaten there. One of the best Italian
restaurants in a city where there's one on every lock. |
Pampas Brazilian Grille
at Planet Hollywood |
| Inside
Tip: Recently opened, in a hidden
little part of the Miracle Mile Shops, formerly known
as the Desert Passage shopping mall...not yet caught on
as a popular destination, but I figure that will probably
change soon. For now, give this one a shot. Enter on the
Harmon side, it's right inside the door. Another great,
memorable eating experience. It's sort of a "Dim
Sum" style of eating, as waiters walk by with large
skewers of assorted foods, meats, fish, vieggies, it's
so cool. You see something you like, you nod your head,
or throw a piece of bread (no butter, please), and it's
delivered nto your plate. This goes on for as long as
you are hungry. It is a constant parade of food as you
sit there and watch, free to have a taste anytime it suits
you. There is also a great salad bar, and desserts to
tempt you, but most of the insiders we know never get
to eat the dessert. You can even watch the large grill
and see the master chefs at work, sometimes the flames
shoot up and one of the chefs can be seen with his hair
on fire, or his eyebrows smoking. Fun for the whole family. |
Bon
Apetit. |
