I had a Groupon for Bally's Steakhouse and decided to use it last night before going to a play at UNLV. It was a very good dining experience.\n\nI was brought the bread basket shortly after getting my iced tea delivered. The selection was nice. I only had one multi-grain roll because I wasn't there to fill up on bread.\n\nFor starters, I got the onion soup. It was a hearty beef stock with just the right amount of cheese on top. I didn't have to have to break my way through a cheese avalanche to get to the soup.\n\nFor the main course, I got the 12 ounce filet and I had them Oscar it. That adds lump crabmeat and asparagus to the steak. When served, the waiter brought a small sauce boat of B\u00e9rnaise that he ladled over the crab. There was a small grilled whole tomato and a yellow pepper on the plate. I got a twice baked potato as a side. The steak was cooked black and blue as I ordered and it had a good flavor.\n\nLast, dessert. I ordered their signature banana cream pie. It was very good. Instead of a graham cracker crust, they used chopped peanuts for the crust and there are a few peanuts dropped onto the whipped cream that topped the pie. \n\nService was good. Iced tea was refilled without asking. My one test of service was a fail. After I out the artificial sweetener in my iced tea, I always twist the small paper packet and leave it on the table. Good service always notices this and removes the empty packet. Last night, the packet was left there three times. It's an obvious thing to remove it but they just didn't.\n\nI enjoyed the hour and a half I spent here. I wasn't rushed, the food was good, and it's a classic steakhouse with striped wall paper, wood railings, and brass lights. Dark and cozy is also a good description. It got quite noisy when two large groups came in, but once they started getting some food, they quieted down.
