Best Steakhouse in New England Casinos
We have great steakhouses in New England, but nothing like those old restaurants in Las Vegas. They have quite a history. So let’s talk about Steakhouses. Better that you read this after eating – I don’t want you drooling all over the place. Here’s the Best Steakhouse in New England Casinos.
Casino Dining – A Brief Look Back
In the 1930s and ’40s, Las Vegas became a destination, with new casinos quickly sprouting up. And with them came the infamous “chuckwagon,” or buffet. From the 1970s, the chuckwagon smorgasbord evolved quickly, but they were still focused on the low-cost, all-you-can-eat, eating troughs for cowboys and regular folk. Prices were cheap, with the most abundant spreads at Caesars Palace and the Dunes costing $2.75 and $4.
Time Moves On
Throughout the 50s, ’60s, and 70s, Las Vegas was the go-to destination for glitz, and glamour, and beautiful showgirls were the headlining attraction. And the most excellent eating establishments became classic steak joints, such as the oldest opened in 1958, Golden Steer Steakhouse, Bob Taylor’s Original Ranch House & Supper Club, and Hugo’s Cellar at the Four Queens, an old-school steakhouse at the quintessential old Vegas casino. The Golden Age of Dining had begun.
