Prime cuts, seafood towers & classic cocktails in a dim setting
"In Park MGM’s dark, Belle Époque‑tinged maze of intimate rooms hung with vintage art, steaks are the star but nearly everything hits: I love starting festive dinners with a chilled seafood platter, then splitting a 22‑ounce bone‑in ribeye dry‑aged 42 days—crusty outside, tender within. Don’t skip elote‑style corn and charred Brussels sprouts with Dijon and Parmesan, and finish with the mile‑high carrot cake." - Andrea Bennett
"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 10-ounce wagyu grilled cheeseburger with pressed and griddled wagyu, sharp American cheese, pickles, onions, and dijonnaise, served with hand-cut fries. The burger comes out to $36.99, minus the long wait. It might feel counterintuitive to order a burger at a steakhouse as refined as Bavette’s, but this one’s a cult favorite for good reason. Know before you go: Reservations can be tricky to nab, but the burger can also be ordered at the bar." - Janna Karel
"If a cozy interior and old-school vibes are what you’re for in a steak dinner, head to Bavette’s. The velvet banquettes, warm lighting, and escapist interior are the perfect setting for prime cuts of ribeye and fresh seafood. The Chicago classic has become a local powerhouse in its own right, a go-to destination for its timeless steakhouse fare as well as its more Vegas-style standouts like multi-tiered towers of icy and briny oysters and crab legs and scalding pans of indulgent macaroni and cheese. The kitchen takes its chops seriously, meticulously grilling dry-aged bone-in strip steak and filet mignon with a seductive sear. And while the restaurant leans into a Chicago feel and a heavy wood design, the restaurant still succeeds in feeling cool and sexy. —Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Must-try dish: The burger is supremely underrated" - Matthew Kang
"An acclaimed steakhouse located next door at Park MGM that served as a culinary competitor to spectacle-driven concepts on the Strip; its established reputation and proximity were noted as direct competition to higher-priced, show-focused steak offerings." - Janna Karel
"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
