Back to Vegas stuff. I want to add a vote in favor of the Circus Circus Steakhouse

I went with a good friend to the steak house on EDC weekend. As we arrived, all of the EDC people were in the hotel and valet area getting ready to head over to the carnival.

The restaurant has rich looking mahogany throughout it. You see a cooler where meat is aging. The primary cooking station (including the grilling station) is out in the middle of the restaurant. You can see they are not using a gas grill and appear to be using mesquite wood or some other type of wood.

We each ordered steak and lobster tail. Unbeknownst to us when we were first ordering, the filet was $10 off of the menu price because June was some type of anniversary for the restaurant.

The meal was wonderful and the service was great. Our waiter said that before the restaurant was there, there was a spa (this is sometime in the 60's or 70's) and that a hit took place in that spa. I had never heard that before and want to look it up some day.

While I'm not a Circus Circus fan, I highly recommend the steak house. I feel we got a meal as good or better than other top end steak houses on the strip.

The steakhouse is good, but its still not worth going to CC.

CC gets a bad rap. The only thing really terrible about the place is the hotel - and maybe the creepy adventuredome. The casino is actually pretty fun. Good tables with low limits. I Played $5 craps there for an hour on my last visit and had a great time.

And, yes, the Steakhouse is a gem.

The Steakhouse is the gem of CC. Great steaks with an old style atmosphere. I haven't eaten there in a long time, so I'll have to go back to try it again.

I agree RM. CC steakhouse is top 3 steakhouse in las vegas in my book!

My meal a while back

Heading to the Steakhouse my next trip. It was fabulous the last time I was there.

I've also heard good things about the CC steak house - I'll have to give it a try!

Have always read and heard nothing but good reviews on the Steakhouse.... would eat there if I was ever in the area clowning around.

THE steak house at CC is one of my LV favorites. Their wine list is not so great but to make up for it they only charge $20 corkage. We always bring a nice bottle (or more) from our cellar. We have never been charged the corkage fee. I believe it is because we always share a generous taste with our waiter(s) if they are interested.

You just named the secret of how many restaurants will waive the corkage fee. Offer a small glass to your waiter. Some times they have to take it in the back in order to taste it. I had a bottle of 1976 Mouton Rothschild several years ago that I took to a restaurant. I wasn't sure if the bottle had turned, but the cork still looked okay. As it turns out, our waiter was born that year. He was thrilled to take a small glass off of us. No corkage fee was on the bill.
