Oscar's Las Vegas

The Environment:

When you walk into Oscars, it's kind of like, "Okay, this guy is really proud of what he did, and he's not going to let us enjoy our steak without knowing it." He tried to make it a fancy restaurant, but then needed a tribute to his 12 years of being mayor, so he threw some pictures and articles on the wall, along with the generic Downtown Las Vegas photos. We. Get. It.

Why We Dine:

Oscars Las Vegas is just one more of the Downtown Vegas restaurants that reminds every single patron of what Vegas used to be. Old school Vegas charm? Some people are into that, and this place has a whole bunch of it.

• Clever Food: Oscar's Restaurant Las Vegas cooks their steaks in a 600 degree grill? Can they even cook a rare steak in that thing? Actually, they can, and they serve it with homemade sides, all named after... people we don't know. Ralph's Smashed Potatoes? He sounds like a fun guy!
• Started By The Former Mayor: Yep, Oscar's Restaurant in Vegas was created by the ol' Vegas weiner himself. Really - that was kind of his nickname, he even has a pork chop named after himself: The Oscar's Mayor "Weiner" Schnitzel. Be careful though. Eating this guy does not come cheap!
• Uhh...Class?: We don't like to admit it, but sometimes we do find ourselves stumbling around the Las Vegas Club Hotel. What we're doing there, we don't want to admit, but sometimes when this happens, we'll get hungry and need a meal. To get back a little of the dignity we lost when we walked through the door, we eat at Oscar's Restaurant Las Vegas for a little (and we mean 'little') class.

Inside Knowledge:

Oscar B. Goodman himself said "my expectations aren't that high for my place... just the best food, the best service, the best ambiance and the best broads!" Yeah okay Oscar, but where in Oscar's Las Vegas are all these great broads you talk about? Oh, that's what he meant by broad...

Is it Worth It?
