Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in El Cortez Hotel & Casino

Best Italian food I have in Vegas ! The duck confit pizza was out of this world. The cauliflower starter was full of flavors. The tuna crudo and the roasted beet salad were so delicious

Intriguing, interesting, different and a unique and imaginary plate presentation. We saw a U-Tube report on the Owner-Chef and the restaurant itself. We had to try it. We sampled 3 appetizers: Imperial Rolls, Steak Tartare and the Hamachi. All freshly made and tasty. Definitely Asian Fusion with contemporary American. The unique plates are difficult to describe for this traditional diner! Our two Entrees; a Duck Confit Special and the Slow Braised Short Ribs. Both excellent. For a wonderful meal and a very different food style the Black Sheep is perfect.

We really love the food and vibe here. Getting a seat in the main dining room makes the experience here all the better for us so we can easily see the live entertainment. This visit we enjoyed caesar salads, chicken parmesan, lasagna and the special of the night. All of them were excellent. Prices are reasonable.

This is one of the best overall experiences I’ve had at a first time dining at Primal. Rsvp at 830 pm but arrived about 8:00pm, they sat us right then and there. The front staff were very friendly and live music was playing. My waiters name was Derrick and is one of the best servers I’ve ever had. He was supposed to have a side kick to help him with the tables , he was serving about 8 other tables including mine , but the side kick (John) helped all the other tables but mine. Derrick never dropped the ball with any of the appetizer, drinks, dessert, entrées, and refills. Derrick was very very engaging with my table and every table he had, everyone was happy and having a great time. The food was very amazing and tasted so good. The steak was cooked to perfection (med rare) , risotto with lobster / chef kiss , the french fries ( crispy and d lish us) and the cocktails were a lot of fun and yummy. We passed on dessert but It was my Valentine’s day birthday dinner so Derrick dropped off a small macaroon with a candle and a happy birthday made out of chocolate.  It capped off the dinner like a charm! Thank you Derrick and everyone at Primal , you made my 53rd birthday dinner one to remember!

Dinner at my cozy corner at the bar. Tried some new-to-me menu items- Burrata Salad ($19): Stupefying-sized mound of the mild milky cheese, nicely contrasted with the peppery radicchio and crunchy garlic croutons. Brasato ($38): Fork-tender succulent beef, well-balanced savoriness and heat, with just a suggestion of sweetness. Bed of couscous perfectly done, gently firm. Santa Vittoria Barbera d'Alba ($15): Generous pour. Finished with The Nitro Infused Tableside Bragato ($22), the stylish dessert presented with pizzazz (and gold dust), a thick creamy boozy caffeinated treat. Value: Excellent for taste and portions. Service: Very friendly, creative, engrossing and informative by Oscar. Atmosphere: Chic but never snooty.
