"The “Oscar” in Oscar’s Steakhouse refers to former mob lawyer and longtime Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman. And in classic Vegas fashion, the downtown Plaza restaurant offers an only-in-Vegas vibe with all the trimmings of an Old Vegas steakhouse. Inside, dine beneath the Plaza’s glass dome, with neon-lit views of the downtown skyline and the Viva Vision Light Show that looms over Fremont Street. On warm spring and summer nights, take advantage of the adjacent rooftop patio for al fresco seating with jumbo shrimp cocktail and Goodman’s signature martini made with Bombay Sapphire and a jalapeño twist." - Janna Karel
"Even with a zipline partially blocking its view down Fremont, there isn’t a more quintessential Old Vegas setting than the domed dining room at Oscar’s. This second-story steakhouse inside The Plaza looks like a 1980s-era greenhouse, except instead of ficuses, you’re sitting next to groups of suits pounding gin and tonics and saying things like, “They filmed Casino here.” While you can’t go wrong with any big slab of meat, the best thing here is the burger. Topped with american cheese, pickles, a creamy house sauce, and a solid half-inch of fried onions, it’s quite the undertaking. Walk it off by dodging all the breakdancers on Fremont Street." - brant cox

"Forget about steaks for a moment and go for the fantastic Angus Burger at Oscar’s. It’s a juicy piece of meat between two slices of toasted brioche with american cheese, and doused in Plaza sauce, a creamy topping that’s like fancy In N’ Out spread. Yes, it’s messy, but you won’t even think about putting it down for a second. If you consider yourself a Letterboxd microinfluencer, Oscar’s has some extra appeal—it’s where they filmed the famous dinner scene between Sharon Stone and Robert De Niro in Casino. You might even recognize the panoramic windows, which used to look down on Fremont Street until they were blocked by the Slotzilla Zipline." - melinda sheckells
"Named after former mob attorney and city of Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman, this steakhouse at the Plaza downtown goes all-in on an Old School only-in-Vegas feel. If you’re dining inside, cozy up beneath the Plaza’s glass dome, which lends neon views straight down Fremont Street. When spring and summer evenings mean comfortably warm nights, dine al fresco on the adjacent rooftop. Order Vegas staples like jumbo shrimp cocktail, steak — may as well order it Oscar-style — and Goodman’s preferred martini with Bombay Sapphire gin and a jalapeño garnish." - Janna Karel
