Best Dessert Restaurants in El Cortez Hotel & Casino

We love Jack Binion's Steak at the new Horseshoe in Las Vegas. This was our second time dining there, and every aspect was as excellent as we remembered. Service, ambiance, and, of course, the food. Top quality beef, not drowned in sauce, simply seasoned and grilled to perfection. Thank you!

Had an American wagyu skirt steak. One of the best steak experiences of my life! Good portion size and the fries and asparagus were awesome. My wife had a beef wellington, which was also the best she had eaten. All the waiters/servers were excellent - happy and engaging and good fun. All round a good experience. It is a bit loud - not a place for an intimate dinner. Expensive, but you would expect that for GR restaurant. But it is good value, considering the food!

The view from the upstairs bar is amazing!! This place is a great value and experience!!

Had an early dinner at Bar Centro, a restaurant by José Andrés located a half-floor down from Bazaar Mar in Crystals. Started with the Sangría de Cava ($18), a nice fruity punch. Wavered over several options within the Little Snacks section but ultimately chose the José's Taco ($25): I pray that my surprise was not visible on my face when this was delivered. This was really SMALL, shorter than my pinky finger, for 25 dollars. Tasty morsel to be sure, but still, a mere nibble for 25 dollars. Had opted for the Daisy de Graná ($22) to go with the "taco". This drink was fantastic, with a great contrast between the lightly sweet/sour citrus liquid and the salt foam top. Gave a good buzz too. Had two. As dessert, The Foie-full $14): Cute crispy waffle, heavy on the peanut butter scent and taste. The Modifier ($22): Finished at the bar with a mad scientist flair, complete with smoking flask. Not as sweet as ingredients might lead to expect. Value: Cocktails crushed it; food items I ordered though sent the value prospect plummeting due to the wee portions. Especially that "taco". Atmosphere: As with its larger sibling Bazaar Mar, Bar Centro went to great design lengths to conceal its location in a mall. Green trellises, fringed awnings, white plaster(?) statues, colorful embroidered chairs. But the mall atmosphere intruded-being located on the landing between levels, it's bounded by public stairs and escalators, and the surrounding white walls break the illusion of dining in a garden pavilion. But the deco is lovely. Service: Superb from John and Josh (? forgive if wrong; the man with two-tone hair). Very personable and charming. Hostess and runners were friendly and professional as well.

This is an exceptional restaurant. Please do not let the outdated plaza which houses the restaurant fool you. This is an oasis where the food and service are exceptional. We have been coming here every Vegas trip.
