The Steak House

Ok, let's be honest here...who would ever expect a phenomenal steakhouse located inside a property that seems to cater toward families with smaller children? I mean, Circus Circus wouldn't be the first property that would come to mind if someone were to ask, "What Las Vegas property should I visit to experience a good steakhouse?" Regardless, my family and I ate here on 24 Dec 2023 as a celebration towards the holiday season and because we've been wanting to try this restaurant ever since we moved to Las Vegas in 2014. When I walked in, it felt like we were transported somewhere else - you definitely forget that not too long ago you had screaming children running past you in the hallways/main floor. The employees, from the time we walked in all the way to when we departed were outstanding. And although all of our servers were extraordinary, our main server, Felix, did such a sensational job. The restaurant décor is very rustic and surprisingly well-maintained considering how old this restaurant is. Between the booth fabric, all the way to the lighting/woodwork, it's evident that the owner/employees take pride in ensuring this restaurant provides a comfortable feel to its customers. With respect to the food, I want to start by saying that the bread was fantastic. I've had many variations of bread at steakhouses all over Las Vegas and the bread here was warm, soft, and very simple. Trust me, I've received bread before where I'm wondering what I'm actually eating - this is clearly not the case here. We ordered the Grilled Garlic Shrimp, Crab Cake, Petite Filet with Baked Potato, 16 oz Ribeye with Baked Potato, Salmon Fillet with Garlic Mashed Potato, House Salads, Black Bean Soup, and Chocolate Mousse Cake. Also, all three of our main entrées were accompanied by asparagus; I suspect that this changes based on the day since every entrée specifies "chef's vegetable" with it. To note, the Grilled Garlic Shrimp is a must-have; the Black Bean Soup was also notable, and the Salmon/Petit Filet were cooked to perfection. Although my ribeye temperature, along with the seasoning were perfect, I wasn't as enthusiastic with the quality of the cut - seems more on the lines of USDA Choice, versus Prime. I'm not 100% if that's accurate, but the cut was underwhelming for me...yet, the flavor was still adequate. I do enjoy how this restaurant serves their main course with sides included - this was a change of pace compared to other steakhouses where sides are a la carte. There are a couple things that I feel are inaccurate information (or maybe it's not): (1) Both Google and THE Steakhouse website (through the Circus Circus website) specify this restaurant to be a 3-dollar sign restaurant. Frankly, aside from the dress code being "casual," I feel that this should be labeled as a 4-dollar sign restaurant based on the total I had to pay compared to other 4-dollar sign restaurants I've been to in this city; and (2) the menu on the website is slightly outdated/inaccurate. It doesn't specify the price of each item/entrée, nor does it contain several items that are actually available in the restaurant (i.e., two different sizes of ribeye/filet, crab cakes, and dessert items). The "perceived" negative items I've identified above are not indicative of my comprehensive rating, it's more of an opportunity for this restaurant to improve its operations here and there without eliminating the positiveness of my overall review. If you haven't been here before, you definitely need to give it a try. I promise, you won't have Bozo the Clown walking around making balloon animals at your table because you're in Circus Circus. Overall, this restaurant is impressive - I highly recommend this place!

Immense portions of high quality dry aged beef. Very satisfying meal, but you will pay for what you are getting. Everything was great starting with the bread & a shrimp cocktail appetizer. I had prime rib, but I’m certain the rest of the cuts are fantastic as well.

Vintage Vegas!! This is one of the few places where you can still catch the vibes from the Frank Sinatra, Rat Pack, and Marilyn Monroe. The service is as good if not better than the food. This that OG spot and like all OGs they are hidden in the cut. Located in Circus Circus, it’s like walking into a time capsule from the bygone era. If your wallet is light, you might wanna go somewhere else because this is high quality top notch dinning at its finest. The dress code is business casual. Bring your appetite and your appreciation because you’re going to, because you’re gonna love this place.

One of Las Vega's Best Kept Fine Dining Secrets!! This place has a class and charm that will behoove and amaze the modern foodie! Here is a Steakhouse that hasn't forgotten what a steakhouse is supposed to be. The room is rich with dark woods, hardwood walls, diamond tufted red leather booths, creating a cozy den-like ambience, romantic candlelit dinners, real gentlemen seating you, bartenders that perfect their craft, cuts over 3 week- aged beef with their very own meat locker display! The kind of stuff legends are made of. Having said the former, "The SteakHouse" at Circus Circus has been voted Best of Las Vegas for over 20 years and was named Zagat's 2011 Top Steak House in Las Vegas and received Zagat's award ratings for the 2014 year, as well as being named top 10 by The LasVegasSun.

Went here last night, the service was fantastic. The atmosphere was great and the garlic mashed potato’s were delicious! Steak was cooked perfectly only complaint was the ribeye could’ve been thicker. A glass of wine was only $11, meanwhile at the Mirage it’s $14 and $18 at the Bellagio.
