I wouldn't know, nor will I ever. Locals don't go up in the Strat Tower. The mofo is gonna fall down someday.

Wimp.

I went to the top in December with visiting friends. The vertical shot ride was down for maintenance, which was disappointing (I've done it once before and it ranks as the best of breed that I've done), but the other couple contraptions were working. Twirling around and around 1000' above the valley floor was entertaining, but I think I'm too old now for merry-go-rounds...took a day for my stomach to stop feeling queasy, and trying to sleep 6 hours later was difficult as the bed kept tilting.

I live in Madison. Smokey's is fantastic, easily the best steak in town ... although the Tornado Room is solid, and so is Fitzgerald's in Middleton.

Im making a note to try both these places next time I head up there. (I'm from Chicago)

Anyone else like Gallager's (sp?) ... or am I just a tourist?

We ate there the last time we were in Vegas. I liked it OK, but felt it was overpriced for what you get. Unless someone else is paying, I doubt I'll eat there again, to be honest.

Craftsteak is the 2nd best steak I've ever had in my life.

The #1 slot belongs to a place in Madison, WI. You know, they're very close to the source there. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Smokey's, I assume?

As far as Vegas goes, I haven't eaten at Delmonico's but I have eaten at Craftsteak. I LOVED Craftsteak's food and atmosphere ... but I would choose the SW Steakhouse at the Wynn over Craftsteak.

So, I would strongly recommend both places, with an edge going to SW.

If you're taking a woman on a date, for sure SW.

Craftsteak, though, might be better for a larger group hoping to be in a livelier setting.

I really liked the SW Steakhouse, too.

Does Craftsteak have the awesome homemade potato chips with truffle oil and sharp Gruyere cheese like Delmonico's does?

Perhaps not. But, they do serve a dessert, the peanut butter cup with caramel ice cream, that is decadent. Smooth peanut butter covered in a dark chocolate ganache that is encircled by a dark chocolate cookie crust with an intensely flavored caramel ice cream and buttery peanut brittle; not to mention the hot chocolate with cinnamon marshmallows on the side.

An awesome way to finish off a great steakhouse experience.

My choices:

N9NES for very good steak and great scene - steakhouse meets night club.

Delmonicos very good steak, great room good for date night.

Fix - extremely good steak that I believe was dry aged. Horrible room

Does anyone know was steakhouse in LV serve dry aged steaks?

BTW, best steakhouse in the world is Bern's in Tampa - no contest.
