Best Restaurants for Business Meals in The Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino

Always skeptical about a steakhouse, we opted to try Vic and Anthony’s on a recommendation. Had a 10:45 reservation and arrived 30 minutes early thinking we would enjoy a cocktail at the bar. To our surprise, they were able to seat us right away. Our waiter Hector was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable; providing recommendations when I was being indecisive. The wine list read like an encyclopedia and the bottle prices were very reasonable. We shared a life changing crab cake as a starter. The sauce was so incredible we soaked up the deliciousness with the homemade bread. The wedge salad was very flavorful and more than enough for two people to share. My husband ordered a ribeye which was cooked to absolute perfection and had that crust most restaurants can’t achieve without a grill. Tender and delicious!! I ordered the wagyu carpaccio which was amazing. Cut paper thin, the carpaccio was like butter. Every bite was pure perfection. We couldn’t possibly fit another bite in, but Hector wanted us to try dessert and brought us two bite sized cheesecakes which were amazing. The only ding against our experience was the table we were seated at. It was sandwiched between two four tops along the windows. We were definitely close to the folks next to us, making it feel like we were at a family dinner. Which was fine, everyone was very friendly. It made our dining experience cozy but not unpleasant. The rest of the tables appeared to be spaced out okay.

A very hidden gem. Yula was our server, you want his section if you go! Best. Service. Ever!! Attentive but not hovering. Friendly and engaging but not intrusive. Knew the menu like the back of his hand! We are Las Vegas locals, on a mission to try new places. Ended up with a reservation here on Valentine’s Day because Redwood was one of the few places that wasn’t fully booked and wasn’t going to be a $500 meal. Never had we stepped foot in the California Hotel casino or this restaurant. We’ve both been here a long time and never gone. Pleasantly surprised that the noise level the cleanliness and all around everything about this place. Valet was $30 but as an emerald card holder with Boyd gaming it was free for us.  I had the seafood cioppino and my husband had the 12 ounce lobster tail. Market price on that was like $65 and my soup was 46 I think. It was loaded with seafood, and I had no regrets about spending that kind of price on a bowl of soup. It was really good. Our reservation was for 7:15 PM on Valentine’s Day and we were seated immediately. We did not have to wait a long time for our food. I have heard it said that you can judge a steakhouse by their creamed corn. I, personally hate creamed corn, and I was literally scraping Every last bite of it out of the dish came in. Hands-down, I recommend it and we will definitely go back. 

Our party of 4 was outside on the patio for Valentine’s Day. While it was a little chilly at first the staff was nice and brought heaters for us. Unfortunately a windstorm hit and wouldn’t let up and that affected our dinner service and it’s hard to rush food of that quality and wine. The staff did their best with the circumstances that arose. While it created a memorable dinner, it was too rushed and everything was ice cold.

Prime rib and seafood platter was awesome!!! My first experience with Chilean Sea bass was good as well. The waiter was friendly and helpful. The prices were comparable! I will be back!

Dining at Carson’s is a must for me when visiting Las Vegas. Have never had a bite I didn’t enjoy here. This time our party ordered the hot dog ends, pot roast sandwich and jus dip, cauliflower and NY strip. Steak was cooked perfectly. The cauliflower dish was extraordinary and packed a wonderful garlicky punch. Sipped on a wonderfully complex fernet and amaro cocktail throughout the evening as well. Rich and delicious food with unique and interesting flavour combinations. Service was attentive, warm and fun.
