Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse offers not only a fantastic meal, but transports its guests to a bygone era when mobsters ran Las Vegas. As its name implies, it’s a tribute to Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky. The property is filled with touches harking back to their time, including a “back-way” entrance (the way gangsters used to enter high-end properties), which leads to a variety of dining areas, including a raw bar.
Designer Jonathan Adler provides the decorative ‘20s and ‘30s touches throughout, and you’ll feel like you’ve really gone back in time as you enjoy a drink from a menu of various Old-Fashioned recipes—you can have it made with rum, mezcal, brandy or, of course, bourbon. A terrific appetizer—one of our favorites on the Strip—is the hand-cut Prime beef tartare, served with foie gras aioli and pan-toasted country bread.
Main course options are steak-heavy, naturally. But there’s plenty for every palate here, including pan-roasted lamb chops, free-range roasted chicken, pan-seared sea scallops and plancha-seared salmon. Finish off your evening with the Meyer Lemon dessert, a crispy meringue served with almond Sablé and creamy lemon cream.
