Strip steak · Las Vegas
Vegas's defining cut: a New York strip, dry-aged and seared at one of the Strip steakhouses (Bavette's, SW, Carversteak, Delmonico), plated bone-in or boneless with bordelaise on the side.
The strip steak takes its name from New York's Strip District but became the canonical Las Vegas plate after the 1990s steakhouse boom. Steve Wynn's Bellagio opened in 1998 with a 200-seat steakhouse; Smith and Wollensky followed at the Venetian. By 2005 Bobby Flay, Charlie Palmer, Bradley Ogden and Wolfgang Puck all ran prime steakhouses on the Strip. The Vegas cut is typically dry-aged 28 to 45 days, seared at 800F in salamander broilers and served with bordelaise, peppercorn or Diane sauces on the side. Bavette's at Park MGM (Chicago, 2017), SW Steakhouse at Wynn (Alfred Portale) and Carversteak at Resorts World (2021) run the current category.
