Bavette's Steakhouse & Bar

"If a cozy interior and old-school vibes are what you’re after for your steak dinner, head to Bavette’s. The velvet banquettes and warm lighting are the perfect setting for USDA prime cuts, as well as more affordable butcher’s cuts. With its escapist interior and serious commitment to steak, it’s become a rare on-Strip locals’s favorite — a Chicago classic with richly flavorful ribeyes, fresh seafood, and traditional side dishes." - Janna Karel

"The wait for the burger at Au Cheval in Chicago is legendary, stretching as long as five hours. And diners say it’s worth every minute. Sister restaurant Bavette’s at the Park MGM serves a similar burger, the simply named grilled cheeseburger with an eight-ounce patty, sharp American cheese, dijonnaise, hand-cut fries, and a farm-fresh fried egg. The burger comes out to $36.99, minus the long wait." - Janna Karel

"There are a lot of excellent steakhouses in Las Vegas, and every conversation includes mention of Bavette’s at Park MGM. The restaurant is escapism at its finest, the heavy door right on the casino floor demarcating the cacophony outside from the dim, wood-furnished Chicago-style steakhouse inside. Dinner can easily run you into the hundreds here, but it also means enjoying some of the city’s best cuts of filet mignon, ribeye, and New York Strip. Wrap up the night with a cocktail — they’re made with a heavy pour." - Janna Karel

"You might have high expectations for the spin-off of Chicago steakhouse institution Bavette’s. Thankfully, this edition also serves great food and feels right at home in Vegas, with Tiffany-style table lamps, abstract art, and mismatched furniture making the space cooler than most of the other steakhouses in the city. Get the Lillet Rosé martini and the cheeseburger, which is in fact the famed Au Cheval burger from Bavette’s sister restaurant without the line of 300 people outside waiting to try it. This is the perfect place to start your night off if you have plans at the Dolby Live Theater or T-Mobile Arena, since Bavette’s is right between these two venues. " - melinda sheckells
