Treat yourself to the full steakhouse experience at VooDoo Steak. This restaurant at the top of the recently reopened Rio offers incredible views of the lights of the Strip in the near distance.

Start with a cocktail, the Witch Doctor, which may possibly be Las Vegas’ most famous. This behemoth is concocted with five rums and a mix of fruit juices and is served in a monster glass fish bowl from whence smoke rolls off. (The smoke is created through the magic of dry ice, and it is mightily impressive.)

Accompany that bad boy with the seafood tower, served hot or cold, or both. It’s piled with oysters, shrimp, crab, mussels and, depending on which version, ceviche, mini crab cakes, seared scallops and shrimp scampi. Pretty decadent. But the appetizer menu doesn’t stop there. Go traditional with crab cake or a shrimp cocktail, or take it up a notch with a foie gras macaron with aged balsamic and gold accents, or a short rib bruschetta with truffle ricotta.

An heirloom beet salad, prepared with aged balsamic, honeycomb, watercress and candied pecans, or French onion soup with Parmesan crust will both really hit the spot, not to mention providing the background for the main attractions here at VooDoo.

For that, choose lamb chops, brick chicken or fried pork shank. Seafood lovers will dig Australian lobster tail, Ora King salmon or crab-stuffed halibut. But steak is the main draw, with 21-day wet-aged steaks presented in a variety of ways, including a 10-ounce filet, 16-ounce ribeye, 8-ounce Mishima Reserve wagyu rib cap, or 12-ounce ribeye. The 32-ounce tomahawk dinner for two entices with a side of lobster mac and cheese. And there are plenty of other sides to add, like wild mushrooms, tempura green beans and a blue cheese potato gratin.

For dessert, crème brûlée is a steakhouse favorite, but the Forbidden Apple gives you a bolder take on apple pie, with white-chocolate yuzu whipped ganache and honey-caramelized apple. Ask for the tasting menu to get some of the best dishes in the house.
