I love prime rib and have had it at a lot of pricy restaurants but the one at Ellis Island was the best I've ever had. It was cooked and seasoned to perfection.

El Cortez''s outstanding Prime Rib meal now sleeps with the fishes.
Although I haven't tried it, Siegel's 1941 at El Cortez claims to have the same Prime Rib from the days of Roberta's and the Flame.

ROAST PRIME RIB OF BEEF AU JUS*
12 Oz. Queen Cut 22. | 16 Oz. King Cut 28.
Slow Roasted, Hand Cut: An El Cortez Classic, Served With Au Jus

Use the LVA 2 for 1 Entre and the price is $11 or $14.


The old special was $7.95 and included a salad. The PR for lunch is now $11.95, thin as hell and it's $3 for a side salad. $8 vs $15. They even charged me $1 for a dollop of sour cream. I had it twice and it was extremely mediocre.
The only decently priced meal in the casino these days is their Jackie Burger for $6. Their NY style pizza is a joke.
Ok..Sorry I think we're talking about two different things. I'm talking about the big Prime's they used to serve at Roberta's or Flame. They were always in the $20-$25 range...High Quality and a great deal with the old LVA 1/2 off. Those same hunks of beef are still available for $22 or $28 at Siegels' (or so they say). Still a great deal with the LVA 2 for 1. I think you're talking about the special at the old Café Cortez.

I had one of those puppies in December. It was surprisingly good. And with the LVA 1/2 off, only around $7.50.

The trouble with Siegals is it tries to be all things to all people. You end up having a party of four celebrating something with steaks and wine sitting next to someone having two eggs on a $3 comp. Its not a steakhouse, but charges too much to be a coffee shop. Its a rare misfire from the management which has really done wonders with the EC since I first stayed there in 2001.

The only problem I have with the Ellis Island deal is the lack of good horseradish. The mild sauce in the paper container is a deal killer for me.

After seeing pictures of the Ellis Island kitchen after they were closed down by the Health Department a couple of years ago, I don't know if I could ever trust them again.

I agree with triple d 228 that the horseradish at Fremont buffet will blow your brains out but that's exactly how I like it. As for au jus, I like savory and flavorful, sometimes it is watery and bland, so I drink it like soup instead.

Its was probably a good business move to combine the two restaurants into one. lets face it - EC's restaurants dont make any money. They're just places for players to spend comps.

If you gamble at all there's no reason to ever pay for a meal at Siegals. Prices are severely discounted when you pay with points - especially when you achieve the incredibly easy to get "Saphire" Status in the players club (or higher). My biggest problem at El Cortez now is I accumulate comps faster than I can spend them. The most expensive entree at Siegels is $25 which is cut in half when you pay with points.

I dont know good horseradish from bad, but the stuff at The EC is just right, to me. Eye watering but tasty.

I think grated fresh is the difference.
I prefer it straight up as opposed to the mayo-mix-blend.
