Tips for Finding Great Steakhouses on the Strip
Reservation Strategy: Book Strip steakhouses at least two weeks ahead for weekends, and always confirm 24 hours prior. Most offer both early and late seatings with different atmospheres.
Aging Matters: Look for restaurants that dry-age their own beef on-site rather than purchasing pre-aged cuts. The difference in flavor complexity is immediately noticeable.
Beyond Beef: The best Strip steakhouses excel at seafood and sides too. Their lobster tails and truffle preparations often rival the steaks for quality and creativity.
Happy Hour Advantage: Several Strip steakhouses offer bar menus and happy hour pricing that provide access to the same quality at lower prices, perfect for locals on a budget.
