Delmonico Steakhouse

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Las Vegas Steakhouse Institution

Inside The Venetian on the Las Vegas Strip, Delmonico Steakhouse has earned its reputation as one of the city's defining dining destinations. The restaurant's own description says it plainly: it sets high standards for the American steakhouse. That's not boast — it's a standard backed by Wine Spectator's Grand Award, one of the most demanding recognitions in the world of restaurant wine programs.

The Chef Behind the Kitchen

The name most closely tied to Delmonico is Emeril Lagasse — television icon, James Beard Award winner, Emmy recipient, and inductee into the Culinary Hall of Fame. His approach here is equal parts classic and contemporary: a traditional steakhouse menu infused with his signature New Orleans sensibility, built on locally sourced ingredients prepared with what the restaurant calls "simple yet elegant" technique. The result is a steakhouse that feels rooted rather than theatrical.

What to Expect on the Plate

The menu leans into the full range of what a serious steakhouse can offer. Filet mignon and Alaskan Red King Crab Legs anchor the savory side, joined by a Double Cut Kurobuta Pork Chop and a rich Lobster Bisque. For dessert, Emeril's Banana Cream Pie has become something of a signature — the kind of dish that earns its own reputation. Lunch and dinner service run daily, and the full menu is available for takeout as well.

The Room and the Wine

Situated along Restaurant Row within The Venetian resort, Delmonico draws both hotel guests and locals who treat it as a benchmark. The wine program, which earned Wine Spectator's Grand Award, is a destination in itself — a serious, carefully curated cellar that complements the steakhouse format without overshadowing it. Silver State Awards and Thrillist's list of the 40 best steakhouses in Las Vegas round out a track record that speaks for itself.
