One of the best lunches on the Las Vegas Strip just got a whole lot better. Brooklyn transplant Peter Luger Steak House, which opened its Las Vegas Strip outpost a few years ago, recently updated its menu with not only some great new additions, but a great new price. Called the Luger Power Lunch, this offering (available 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays and Sundays) features four courses for only $45.95, including:
Appetizer. Your choice between: a Caesar salad smothered with grated pecorino Romano; two pieces of Luger’s Sizzling Bacon (a true customer favorite, served extra-thick, juicy and beyond satisfying); and sliced tomatoes and onions, a “salad” that’s been a staple of the chain since day one, served with a gravy boat full of Luger’s Own Sauce (which you can use with other food items throughout the experience).
Main course. There are too many wonderful choices here, highlighted by the Luger Burger, easily this editor’s favorite sandwich on the entire Strip. It’s so simple: just a bun, more than a half-pound of premium beef and onions (cheese and bacon optional). But one bite and you’ll wonder why you ever put condiments on your burgers. If you’re more in a seafood mood, enjoy a crab cake sandwich, served on a brioche bun with tartar sauce, lettuce and tomato for the lightest bite imaginable, Maine lobster on a toasted New England roll with mayo (and a lemon wedge for squeezing), or grilled Atlantic salmon. For a higher price, opt for the Maine lobster tail or a 1-inch-thick, prime, dry-aged steak.
Sides. Your choice of creamed spinach or french fries. The latter is highly recommended with the burger, thick-cut, lengthy, and enough for two people. And don’t worry, condiment lovers—you get ketchup with this one.
Dessert. The Peter Luger “Holy Cow” hot fudge sundae is a great way to experience the restaurant’s delicious “schlag” product, whipped cream created in-house.
