Lamb

I've had NZ lamb chops on the Wynn buffet. They were medium and lovely.

They had lamb on skewers at the Spice Market buffet at Planet Hollywood when I was there at the end of April. Don't recall seeing any lamb chops though.

I agree with Sue Casey, the rack of lamb at Waverly's is very good, although the casino is kind of out of the way. Don't remember if The Flame has lamb. Many of the better steakhouses have rack of lamb, and I'd guess that the lamb quality probably mirrors the beef quality (prices, too).

Rack of lamb is expensive. I had it at Delmonico years ago, and it was wonderful. Don't remember how much it cost, but it was high.

I don't know the difference between "rack of lamb" and "lamb chops," but at Waverly's they're called "lamb chops." Priced more reasonably than Delmonico, too.

A "chop" is simply a small cut of lamb, pork or veal, cut from the back. Rack of lamb is a piece of the back from the rib section, it can be cut into chops and cooked, or roasted whole and then sliced; it's the lamb equivalent of ribeye steak or prime rib, respectively. There are also loin chops and shoulder chops, but these aren't nearly as nice; I doubt that most restaurants would serve a shoulder chop.

I now have learned that according to the Food Network show "Meat And Potatoes," that Hank's Fine Steaks (which is located in Green Valley Ranch Casino) also serves Lamb Chops.
