An Elevated Steakhouse Experience at Resorts World

Carversteak stands as one of Resorts World's crown culinary jewels, offering a modern interpretation of the classic American steakhouse. From the moment you step into the sophisticated, art-filled dining room, it's clear this isn't your typical Vegas steakhouse. The space features stunning contemporary design with custom artwork, plush seating, and subtle lighting that creates an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere.

Culinary Excellence

The menu centers around premium USDA Prime beef, dry-aged in-house for 28-45 days. The 40-ounce tomahawk ribeye is a showstopper – perfectly crusted, juicy, and rich with umami flavor. What sets Carversteak apart is their innovative approach to sides and accompaniments. The black truffle gnocchi is ethereal, and the roasted bone marrow with onion jam offers a decadent twist on traditional steakhouse fare.

Service and Ambiance

Service is polished and knowledgeable, though occasionally can feel slightly rushed during peak hours. The sommelier provides excellent wine pairings from their extensive list, which features both classic Bordeaux and surprising New World options. The main dining room can get quite lively, while the private booths offer more intimate settings for special occasions.

Value Considerations

While undoubtedly expensive (expect $150-250 per person before wine), the quality justifies the price point for special occasions. The portion sizes are generous, and the attention to detail in preparation is evident throughout the meal.

Special Features

Carversteak's private dining rooms and chef's table offer exceptional experiences for groups, while their late-night menu (until 1 AM) makes it perfect for post-show dining. The restaurant also features an impressive whiskey collection with rare pours that serious enthusiasts will appreciate.

Recommendations

For couples: Request a booth and splurge on the tasting menu with wine pairings.
For business dinners: The private rooms provide both impressive ambiance and acoustic privacy.
For families: Earlier reservations recommended; while upscale, they accommodate well-behaved children.
For solo diners: The bar area offers full menu service and fantastic people-watching.
