We recently had the opportunity to dine at Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse in Las Vegas, thanks to an invitation from The Flamingo Las Vegas. Named after the notorious mobsters who founded the iconic Flamingo in 1946, Bugsy & Meyer’s offers a menu that boasts premium seafood towers, mouthwatering appetizers, and a wide variety of steaks. We were treated to a fabulous premium seafood tower for two, which included delectable lobster, king crab, shrimp, and oysters. The seafood was described as flavorful, meaty, and incredibly fresh. We also indulged in the lobster bisque and French onion soup offered on the menu.
Moving on to the main course, we were blown away by the selection of steaks, such as filet mignon and rib eye. The wet aged steaks were tender and sealed in their own juices, while the dry aged steaks had an exquisite depth of flavor. Accompanied by a range of delicious sauces and sides, including Bordele sauce, horseradish sauce, fingerling potatoes, and sautéed asparagus, every bite was a delight for the senses. The steak cuts were perfectly cooked to our preferences, and the presentation was impeccable. To top off the dining experience, we visited the Count Room, a speakeasy located within the restaurant, where we savored delectable cocktails and mouthwatering desserts.
