Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino

Beauty & Essex is one of my Las Vegas favorites. The atmosphere is fun, and the music is just right as a precursor to a night out. The servers can be a little slow with cocktails, but overall service is great. Our water glasses were never empty and food was well-paced. As a group of 6, we ordered 10 different dishes and 2 sides. This is a family style / sharing type restaurant. We were hungry, but didn’t finish all the food. I would say a moderately hungry group could probably go with 6-7 dishes with 1-2 sides and be fine (assume 1/person + 1/4 of a side). The downside is most of the dishes that were the favorites, are those that only had one portion per person. In our party those were: chicken meatballs, grilled cheese dumplings, and the kale apple salad. Least favorites: French dip sliders, scallops, and the filet. Of the sides, we got French fries and broccolini- both great (get horseradish aioli with the fries if ranch is your usual go to). The drinks are good, but I didn’t see anything I found particularly creative and different from similar establishments. Beauty & Essex is great for groups due to the family style plates and atmosphere. It’s loud, so maybe not the place to have conversation with everyone at the table. However, if you need a place to eat before hitting the town Beauty & Essex has great food with an energizing ambiance.

Mastros has been our go to for a nice dinner on the strip for over a decade! The crab cocktail and lobster bisque are amazing apps, I always choose fish and my husband does steak and we have always love it! Lastly you have to try their butter cake, it’s our favorite in vegas! The staff and waiters are all awesome too, Carlos is the absolute best! We love going for dinner then browsing the outstanding shops in crystals. Looking forward to the next time!

We originally were a table of 9 which on arrival we changed to 11 with no issues. The waiter was brilliant he came over explained everything and told us to share sides as they were large. He answered all of our questions and advised which steak would be best he knew all the different cuts. The food arrived and everyone was pleased the sides were large as he had advised. The food was cooked to perfection my husband eats a lot of steak and he said it was one of the best he’d ever had. Everyone on the table enjoyed the meal and commented on it. The restaurant is a lovely setting and we were checked upon as a large group we were very well looked after quite often you can be forgotten. Even though we had been told it was expensive it was what we would have expected for a steak restaurant of that standard . My only negative comment would be we struggled to hear the waiter and also to converse in the group as the DJ was just in front of us and the volume was very loud otherwise a fantastic evening and would highly recommend

Great value for a steakhouse on the strip. I had an 8 ounce filet, the goose fat potatoes, calamari, and brussel sprouts. I wouldn’t order the goose fat potatoes again to be honest. Nothing special. Kind of weird. But everything else was so awesome! Steak cooked perfectly and so delicious!!!

Jesus, our server, was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable and extremely attentive. I would eat there often if I knew he would be our server.
