Dine like a high-roller on juicy USDA prime, the king of American beef, as well as extraordinarily marbled A5, the highest grade of Japanese Wagyu available – at three premier steakhouses in Las Vegas, all in one exceptional evening. It’s the consummate experience for carnivore connoisseurs, providing entrée to the very best steak that Las Vegas offers in one prestigious, prime-time adventure that can’t be duplicated anywhere else.
In the “Ultimate Steakhouse Tour,’’ award-winning Lip Smacking Foodie Tours takes you to renowned Bazaar Meat, the sleek establishment in the Sahara Hotel by world-renowned Chef José Andrés, which was named “Best Restaurant in Nevada’’ by Business Insider and one of the “Top 5’’ steakhouses in America by Fox News; Prime Steakhouse in the Bellagio opened in partnership with acclaimed Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who operates some of the most celebrated restaurants around the globe; and Bourbon Steak, Vegas’ latest and greatest steakhouse at the luxurious Four Seasons resort from double James Beard Award-winning chef, Michael Mina. Don’t miss the opportunity to bask in a Las Vegas tour like no other.
This luxurious experience is characterized by personalized VIP service and unforgettable showmanship. At each opulent rendezvous, bypass lines to get whisked immediately to the best seats in the house. Enjoy signature dishes that are the most prized in the city, each explained in detail at the table by the chef, and served with a rare wine chosen just for the occasion.
At Bazaar Meat, the fun begins with foie gras lollipops enveloped in wisps of cotton candy, and olives, both traditional and modern jaw-dropping ones inspired by legendary molecular gastronomy pioneer Ferran Adriá. That’s followed by paper-thin slices of Cinco Jotas, the most exclusive 100 percent acorn-fed Iberico ham in the world; and A5 Kobe eye of the rib seared at the table on a blazing Japanese ishiyaki grilling stone, and accompanied by the butteriest potatoes on the planet.
The cocktails are entertainment in and of themselves, with the Caipirinha fashioned from clouds of liquid nitrogen; and the aptly named “Floral Cloud’’ arriving with a fragrant poof of hibiscus.
Or opt for a wine pairing from this restaurant’s distinguished cellar that Gayot named one of the Top 10 wine lists in Vegas, and Wine Spectator has recognized with a “Best of Award of Excellence” since 2015.
At Prime, bask in its new sharp elegance with a reimagined decor that boasts a Saint Laurent marble door frame, Baccarat-inspired carved glass, classic 1940s Parisian sconces, and a host stand as opulent as a fine jewelry display. Done up in French blue and caramel tones, the dining room has an intimate yet grand feel, thanks to Italian damask fabrics, layers of soft drapery, and Venetian chandeliers – all set against the backdrop of the mesmerizing Bellagio Fountains.
Prime offers the best Japanese and American beef at their optimum. The fireworks begin with bacon that gets lacquered with maple syrup and black peppercorn glaze, then placed in a smokebox for a final hit of smokiness before being presented tableside. Next comes F1 New York strip steak, a Wagyu cross from Japan, accompanied by pistachio-crusted broccoli finished with lemon vinaigrette. It’s served with gratin Dauphinoise, a classic French side dish of thinly sliced potatoes layered with heavy cream, garlic, and nutty tasting Comté cheese that’s baked until bubbly for a spectacular cheese pull.
At Bourbon Steak, the “wow factor’’ starts the moment you pass through its grand golden arch entryway that leads to a glamourous dining room done up in peacock blue and bold floral murals. Service brings out all the drama with a hay-smoked, salt-baked, and bourbon-flamed, Flintstone-sized tomahawk chop sliced tableside; a signature lobster pot pie with black truffles presented beautifully in a copper pot before its steaming hot, flaky top crust is removed to reveal a whole lobster napped in a brandied cream sauce; a lighter-than-air spinach souffle that gets a tableside pour of rich, creamy bacon parmesan sauce; and the most unique mac and cheese, in which tubes of pasta are presented upright in precise rows like a battalion of soldiers, drenched in cheese sauce, then pan-fried until completely crisp on the top and bottom.
Dessert goes equally over-the-top with warm banana tarte tatin on vanilla French toast with a scoop of macadamia nut ice cream and a drizzle of preserved citrus caramel. We’re just getting started, as there’s also a tower of just-fried beignets dusted with powdered sugar accompanied by three custards to dip into: butterscotch pudding made with 12-year-old Macallan single malt scotch whisky, crème brulee crowned with fresh raspberries, and velvety milk chocolate pot de crème.
