"Whether you’re in Vegas for an anniversary or a third-tier friend’s bachelorette, a little side trip is usually part of the equation. You could do the Hoover Dam, or a 100 degree hike, or just do lunch at Bob Taylor’s Ranch House instead. Located about 25 minutes north of The Strip, this classic steakhouse feels like you left the city and ended up in a dusty ranch house in the suburbs. Inside this sprawling restaurant, lassos and old Western movie posters line the dining rooms. Stained maroon carpet tells a story of messy late nights and rowdy get-togethers. Order the French Dip sandwich, which comes stacked with thin, juicy slices of prime rib and a lush piece of carrot cake for the drive back into town." - brant cox
