Keeping It Simple
As the general manager—for more than three decades—of The Steak House (Circus Circus, 702.794.3767), Ron Randazzo says guests will enjoy the sweet sounds of the wood-burning mesquite grill in the middle of the dining room, watch the chefs cook exhibition-style and enjoy the throwback sounds of Frank Sinatra and the sounds of laughter.
The restaurant hasn’t lasted this long without their dynamite menu, too. Simple and classic but oh so, memorable and delicious. You get to choose your cut of meat—New York Strip, porterhouse, ribeye, filet mignon, prime rib—or go for sea options like lobster, king crab legs, salmon or more land options like lamb chops and chicken all cooked on the mesquite charcoal broiler. Simple. Classic. Delicious. –Kiko Miyasato
