We had been here a few times before, as we like to gamble at Harrah's every once in a while, but it had been a few years since our last visit to eat at the Range. Decided to go on a Friday evening, play some blackjack, win some money and have a great steak dinner. Well, none of that really happened since we lost at blackjack (which has nothing to do with this review...in case you're wondering if I'm a bitter loser. HA!) and the steak dinner was definitely not great! \n\nMade a resv online for the two of us from the Harrah's site using open table (very easy and good feature). Had a booth in the back by the kitchen, which was a noisy spot but not too horrible. Our server Jodi was friendly and very attentive throughout the meal. We both ordered the 8 oz filet ($36 each - pricey!). I chose mine with blue cheese crumbles on top and my husband ordered his without any topper. Hubby got steak fries and mac and cheese as sides. I chose mushrooms/onions and a loaded baked potato. To start, I had a spinach salad that had walnuts and bacon in it with some sort of white cheese - delicious - and I think this was probably my favorite part of the meal. Hubby had a house salad - meh. The breads are fresh and quite good!\n\nMain entrees arrived and server asked us to cut into them right away to be sure they looked ok in terms of how we ordered them (medium and medium \"warm\"). They were fine. What wasn't fine was the taste of the filets! I'm not sure how they cook them here (broiled? Saucepan?), but they really had no flavor and were kind of blah. We are used to great steaks that are grilled (Firebirds in Chandler has the best!). I was glad I had ordered blue cheese crumbles on my steak or it would've had NO flavor. I probably only ate 1/2 of my steak. Steak fries were not traditional looking and hubby said they were \"ok\". I did try the mac and cheese and it was pretty good! The loaded baked potato comes with small portions of sour cream, butter, cheese and chives all on the side on this little plate that had 4 divided sections. The cheese was hard like it had been sitting out on the side plate for hours. Am assuming they prep many of these side plates for baked potatoes earlier in the day. My onions and mushrooms were soggy and I didn't care for them. We did not order dessert (too full from breads and salad!). Bill was $86 for the 2 of us. Used my Total Rewards points to pay for it. And THAT is the only winning moment of the entire evening! :-)
