🥢 Cote Korean Steakhouse – The Strip

🥩 BOA Steakhouse – The Strip

📍 Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort

Making a stylish return to Las Vegas, BOA Steakhouse brings its modern aesthetic and signature flair to the Grand Canal Shoppes. The menu is all about indulgence — from premium dry-aged steaks to a Japanese Wagyu flight that features three exquisite two-ounce tastings. Inside, a sleek design and cocktail-forward bar scene make BOA as much about ambiance as it is about flavor.
Insider Favorite: Start with the tableside Caesar, then pair your cut with BOA’s truffle mac and cheese for the ultimate comfort-meets-luxury combo.

🍖 High Steaks – Off-Strip

📍 Masquerade Tower, Rio Las Vegas

Perched high above the city, High Steaks redefines the modern steakhouse with a wild side. Helmed by acclaimed Vegas chef James Trees, the menu ventures beyond traditional cuts to showcase wild game selections like bison, elk, boar, and venison — each prepared with the refined touch that Trees is known for. The dining room pairs sweeping Strip views with warm, contemporary design for a setting as memorable as the meal.
Pro Tip: Try the venison carpaccio to start — it’s bold, balanced, and beautifully executed.

Butcher & Thief – Opening December at The Bend (Southwest Las Vegas)

A fresh take on the neighborhood steakhouse, Butcher & Thief opens this December at The Bend, just off Durango Drive and Sunset Road. From acclaimed chef and restaurateur Cory Harwell—the visionary behind Carson Kitchen—this stylish newcomer blends craftsmanship, comfort, and creativity in a sleek 5,000-square-foot setting.

Guests can expect high-quality cuts at approachable prices, with signature steaks starting at $36 and prepared through a meticulous three-step process: sous vide, plancha sear, and grill finish for maximum flavor and texture. The menu, led by Chef Scott Simon, pairs playful starters like sour cream & onion bubble bread and peanut butter bacon with standout entrées such as Zabuton steak, sausage rigatoni, and cabbage steak.

Designed by RAD Studio, the restaurant’s moody yet welcoming aesthetic features a bar, lounge, private dining rooms, and an expansive 1,800-square-foot patio. The concept’s name—drawn from the “wine thief” used in winemaking—embodies its philosophy: celebrating balance, indulgence, and approachability in every bite and sip. Designed with both luxury and approachability in mind, Butcher & Thief is set to become Southwest Las Vegas’s newest culinary destination.
