One of the most anticipated new restaurant openings in Las Vegas this year has to be Peter Luger Steak House. The brand started in Brooklyn in 1887, and that’s the vibe found in the Vegas location, with exposed brick, paneling, and wood floors and tables.
The Forman family has owned the restaurant since the ’50s after buying it from the Luger family, and there are only four locations worldwide—including the new Vegas one.
Although the menu is tightly curated, it may still present a bit of a challenge when ordering, as all the classic steakhouse dishes are represented. Apps include the jumbo lump crab cake, Caesar salad, jumbo shrimp salad and Maine lobster cocktail (with a half tail) and shellfish tower with lobster, crab, oysters and jumbo shrimp. Among the entrées you’ll find extra-large, double-thick lamb loin chops, grilled Atlantic salmon, whole broiled lobster and the highlight of the menu, house dry-aged prime beef in several sizes from Steak for One, Two, Three or Four to Ribeye for Two. Steakhouse favorites include Luger’s special German fried potatoes, sautéed broccoli and sautéed cremini mushrooms. And there are plenty of cocktails to indulge in before or after a meal.
The restaurant was scheduled to hold its official grand opening on Nov. 10, with a host of stars and celebrities invited. If you didn’t score an invitation, try to get a reservation now—it’ll be easier than in New York, as there are 300 seats available in the Las Vegas outpost of Peter Luger Steak House.
