If you drive down Boulder Hwy., you’re sure to see ads for the three steak and prime rib specials in the Chuckwagon Restaurant at the Longhorn—steak and lobster for $12.99, prime rib for $11.99, and the long-running 24-hour steak dinner for $6.99. We put together an eclectic group of gamblers to try all three: horse racing expert and author of Blackjack Autumn Barry Meadow, sports betting expert Frank B, and LVA’s Anthony Curtis. Frank took the worst of it. His 8-ounce prime rib was overcooked and unimpressive. Barry’s steak & lobster was much better, with the lobster tail coming in a little bigger than the advertised four ounces. Anthony’s was easily the best of the three. This steak special has been at the Longhorn for years, starting at $4.99 when we first discovered it in 2008, going to $5.99 in 2011, then to its current $6.99 in 2014. All meals come with vegetables, choice of potato, and rolls, and soup or salad with the prime rib. With two side salads ($1.99), the bill was $41 after tax. The Chuckwagon is one of the few classic bargain restaurants still around in Las Vegas. More steak selections are priced up to $17.99 for a 20-ounce porterhouse, plus fried chicken for $8.99, liver & onions for $9.99, a one-pound “Monster Burger” for $10.99, huevos rancheros for $5.99, and they still serve cream (chipped) beef on toast from midnight to noon for $3.99, just 20¢ more than it was in 2008.
