Old-school steakhouse with tableside salads, roses for ladies
"Downtown, Hugo’s Cellar gives an old‑school vibe that begins even with a website that looks like it hasn’t been updated since the late 1990s." - David Farley
"Experience a taste of Old Vegas at this steakhouse nestled within the Four Queens Hotel and Casino, where ladies receive a rose upon entry and tableside service is still on the menu. Hugo’s Cellar has a curated collection of between 250 and 300 labels, so there’s always something to pair with the beef Wellington or a prime rib steak. Sommelier Jon Simmons has worked at Hugo’s for 40 years and curates a stash of around 50 to 75 off-list wines for his regulars. The opportunity to try rare vintages like the 2018 Futo 5500 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley or even a 1989 Chateau Mouton Rothschild warrants repeat visits." - Jennifer Smith
"I took my wife to Hugo’s Cellar for prom; they had theatrical table rituals like spinning a wooden bowl and cracking an egg and the service carts were super cool, making it feel special and old‑school." - Eater Staff
"Most of Hugo’s steaks hover in the $90 range, which is eyebrow-raising considering you’re in a basement off Fremont Street. But at this retro steakhouse, every entree also comes with crackly cheese lavosh, a bread course with three kinds of salt, and a roaming salad bar with 15 different topping options. They give out hot towels in between courses and every lady gets a rose at the end like she just won The Bachelor. Even the most cynical person at your table will be charmed, which is why we like coming to Hugo’s at the end of the trip, when everyone is sick of each other." - brant cox
