We’re not saying Prime in the Bellagio is expensive, but a recent dinner for four with a few drinks and a $105 bottle of wine came to $463.

CIRCUS CIRCUS STEAKHOUSE
It had been close to a decade since last we braved the shopworn, smelly environs of Circus Circus just to grab a steak. Truth be told, we’d always liked the steakhouse — warm, clubby and man-musty as it is — but the short walk from the back parking lot to it — bobbing and weaving between the shoddiest bunch of turistas in Vegas — was always so damned depressing, we always talked ourselves out of eating there and usually hit the Golden Steer instead.
But over the past year or so, we’ve driven past the billboard on I-15 that proclaims it “BRANDED THE BEST (STEAKHOUSE) FOR 20 YEARS IN A ROW,” so many times, our resistance wore down, and we rose to the bait.
CARNEVINO 14 oz. dry-aged New York strip steak
This Adam Perry Lang-chosen, dry-aged strip:…might be the the best steak in town.
It was so remarkably aged, dense-yet-tender and pungently beefy, that ELV’s steak hound dining companions remarked: “It’s halfway to ham” — and all three of us almost dropped our forks over the flavor.
It costs $51.
Just thought you’d like to know.
