"Ruth’s Chris Steak House at Harrah’s Las Vegas just went through a renovation after closing from July 29-Aug. 29. The refresh includes all-new carpets, furniture, décor and wall color, using an estimated construction budget of $727,501 to cover the interior enhancements. One thing that remains, the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows for a view of the Strip. For a limited time, diners can order a multi-course surf and turf prix fixe menu celebrating the renovation for $98 per person. Diners can choose as steakhouse salad, spicy shrimp, or lobster bisque to start. Then comes surf and turf with an eight-ounce filet and lobster tail. Diners can swap out a 20-ounce lobster tail for an additional $53, or add six large shrimp for $17, a blue cheese crust for $6, or Oscar-style for $19. Side dish choices include garlic mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, or green beans with roasted garlic. For dessert, cheesecake with raspberry sauce or almond bark. The 400-seat restaurant originally opened at Harrah’s in 2013, taking over the former home of the Range Steakhouse. The space features two private dining rooms, and diners ride a private elevator to the second-floor steakhouse." - Susan Stapleton
