PRIME AT BELLAGIO – REALLY?

Because I live in Vegas, I get a chance to dine at various establishments and attend a plethora of shows… and being a Vegas resident for 7 years, I am an expert on dining and entertainment in Sin City.  I’m just sayin’… if you’re interested, read on.

Prime Steakhouse... 3 of 10

I’ll make this a short story… stuffy, overpriced and mediocre.  Old school money type dinner… reminded me of some old country club what wouldn’t allow Tiger to dine there because he didn’t fit their profile.  Obviously, I’m being facitious, yet the vibe in there was very stiff.  No thanks.  I love a great steak dinner, yet i enjoy feeling comfortable and there are many other places, such as Charlie Palmers in the Four Seasons, or Ruth Chris.  Rating 3 of 10.  Expensive and disappointing.

Here’s Prime’s description: Savor every rich detail. Award-winning, four-star celebrity chef and restaurateur, Jean-Georges Vongerichten invites you to realize steakhouse dining at its finest with prime steak, seafood and lamb accompanied by fabulous sauces, sides and meticulously selected wines. Ensconce yourself in the establishment’s handsome chocolate brown and delicate Tiffany blue décor – the elaborate design of Michael DeSantis. To further enhance your experience, prominent pieces of artwork are on display including three commissioned paintings by Carlo Maria Mariani, George Deem and Michael Gregory, as well as a water-themed canvas screen created by Joseph Raffael. A garden patio provides the perfect setting for lingering with your favorite cocktail in one hand and a fine cigar in the other.

Wow…you and make anything sound good with some solid descriptors and name dropping.  i say drop on over to Charlie Palmers.
