"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

"One of the oldest restaurants in Las Vegas serves up a smoked prime rib deal that’s worth the driving distance. Bob Taylor’s Ranch House smokes its cuts for four to five hours before they’re ready for ordering. On Monday nights prime rib is served for $1.75 per ounce, meaning that hungry meat lovers can order up to 40 ounces. Order mixed vegetables, rice, twice-baked potatoes, and more on the side." - Jennifer Smith
"The city’s oldest restaurant, Bob Taylor’s Original Ranch House literally saw the growth of Las Vegas creep up to its once under-developed location. Since 1955, the cowboy-themed former home has welcomed guests with Western decor including a collection of spurs owned by Hollywood cowboys, mountain views, and the sight, smell, and char of an open mesquite grill. Popular dishes among its frequent patrons include a half-ound burger and the dinner of smoked prime rib and lobster tail." - Janna Karel
"Since 1955, Bob Taylor’s Ranch House dished out steaks in a Western-themed restaurant. Start with Cajun shrimp scampi and crab-stuffed mushrooms. Every dinner starts with garlic cheese toast and soup or salad. The Ranch House potatoes feature hash browns cooked with mushrooms and Monterrey Jack, cheddar, parmesan, and fontina cheeses. Of course, the smoked prime rib is the star of the show, but other favorites cooked on an exhibition mesquite grill include a 32-ounce New York cut, which, if finished, includes dessert on the house." - Susan Stapleton
