text: The Steakhouse is by far one of the best dining experiences I have ever had hand down.  We went here on recommendation by a friend.  We were skeptical at first since it's in Circus Circus and the atmosphere there we try to avoid.  But this place is a slice of heaven!  From the moment we walked in we were greeted with an amazing aroma of food.  The meat locker in the front behind the hostess desk has a beautiful array of cuts of meat, and if you look close enough the slabs have dates on them showing how fresh they are.  We were ushered by a very nice man from NY past the grilling island were you could see them preparing your food and we were promptly seated. The atmosphere is pretty upper class with rich woods, a fireplace, darkened room and pretty quiet aside from the restraunt music and the chattering of other diners. This is definitely NOT a place for small children. Our waiter (who kind of liked like Drew Carey) was attentive but not too the point of being annoying. When I described what kind of wine I wanted he suggested one that was spot on perfect.  Our water glasses were never empty and our meals were beyond good.  I had the petite filet mignon and it was the best I have ever tasted. The cheesecake which was recommended by both the NY gentleman and our waiter was also phenomenal.  The place is a bit pricy but absolutely worth it!
