The story
Bugsy & Meyer's Steakhouse sits at 3555 Las Vegas Blvd. S., right on the Las Vegas Strip — a location that carries as much history as the name above the door. The restaurant pays homage to Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky, two figures whose ambitions helped shape the city's earliest casino era. That nod to old Las Vegas isn't mere decoration; it sets the tone for a dining room where a certain old-school gravitas runs through everything from the atmosphere to the plate.
The menu centers on what a serious American steakhouse does best: prime cuts, precise cooking, and the kind of dinner that earns its place on a special evening. As a steakhouse in a city that has seen every variation of the format, Bugsy & Meyer's leans into the classic rather than chasing novelty — a deliberate choice that rewards guests who want substance over spectacle.
Wine Spectator awarded Bugsy & Meyer's its Award of Excellence for 2025, a recognition that reflects a wine program carefully assembled to complement the richness of American steakhouse cuisine. The award signals depth and thoughtful curation — the kind of list that turns a great steak dinner into something more considered.
For an evening dinner on the Strip where the setting has genuine character and the wine list has earned independent recognition, Bugsy & Meyer's makes a compelling case.
