"Golden Steer is one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas, but it’s undoubtedly out-of-towner bait. That’s because famous people like Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and the Rat Pack were regulars, and their juiced-up Instagram account teases jumbo lobster tails and glistening slabs of red meat. You can get better steak at the other spots on this list, but you’re coming here to lean into the Las Vegas lore, which includes eating Frank Sinatra’s off-the-menu favorite: a 16-ounce New York strip cooked medium rare and topped with housemade pizzaiola sauce. Just make sure to also order the bananas foster that’s flambéed tableside." - melinda sheckells
