For best ambiance, request a window or early dinner reservation and smart-casual attire.

Portions are generous, many entrées and steaks are large and shareable.

Expect hearty sides (truffle mac & cheese, whipped potatoes) that pair well for sharing.

The setting often feels like a refined retreat from the casino floor, making it suitable for celebrations, date nights and special occasions.
