Golden Nugget officially has its second steakhouse, Saltgrass Steak House.<\/p>\n

The steakhouse joins the popular Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse at Golden Nugget, taking over the former Grotto Italian Restaurant space.<\/p>\n

Grotto has moved into the former Lillie’s Asian Cuisine restaurant space, in the hotel’s Carson tower. Lillie’s closed in Oct. 2019.<\/p>\n

There will be a quiz.<\/p>\n

\"Saltgrass
As the old Vegas adage goes, you can never have too much meat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Saltgrass was poised to open several months ago, but then the pandemic happened.<\/p>\n

It appears casino officials now believe demand has returned enough to sustain both its steakhouses.<\/p>\n

Saltgrass Steak House fills a need for value-oriented customers who prefer their fare casual, while Vic & Anthony’s is considered fine dining. We consider it flipping delicious. Bonus: Casual Meat would make a great band name.<\/p>\n

Saltgrass is also more kid-friendly than the fancier Vic & Anthony’s, despite our best efforts.<\/p>\n

\"Saltgrass
The genus name for saltgrass is “distichlis,” which sounds like it could very well be the German word for “distillery,” so we’re good with it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The price points at Saltgrass are appealing, with our go-to (nine-ounce) filet for $34.49. There’s also a crowd-pleasing selection of chicken and ribs entrees, as well as sandwiches and seafood.<\/p>\n

Find the full menu on the official Golden Nugget site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’re anxious to try some of the signature cocktails at Saltgrass. Oh, who are we kidding with “some.”<\/p>\n

\"Saltgrass
Please stop putting calorie counts on cocktail menus. It’s buzzkill.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Saltgrass is in the Landry’s family of restaurants, owned by Tilman Fertitta, as is the Golden Nugget. The chain has more than 80 locations across the country.<\/p>\n

Golden Nugget cowboyed up its Grotto footprint for Saltgrass. It’s now replete with wood paneling, steer horns and rodeo photos.<\/p>\n

\"Saltgrass
Vegas Vic is next door to Golden Nugget, so they’d better stock up on Howdy Podner Burgers. Which should be a thing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the moment, reservations are by phone<\/a>, but will soon be available on Open Table.<\/p>\n

For now, Saltgrass is closed Monday through Wednesday. Thursday through Saturday, hours are 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Saltgrass is open Sundays, 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting the Saltgrass bar is open until 11:00 p.m. Thursdays, 2:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 10:00 p.m. on Sundays.<\/p>\n

\"Saltgrass\"
Saltgrass kept Grotto’s little side dining area with a great view of the pool, with its shark tank and a number of people with a little too much body confidence, all due respect.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While we haven’t been to Saltgrass yet, we’re looking forward to a visit. Landry’s has the mid-level restaurant game down, and Golden Nugget has one of the best dining mixes in town.<\/p>\n

Other restaurant options include the reliable Claimjumper, excellent Cadillac Mexican Kitchen, Red Sushi (recently rebranded to Red Asian Cuisine) and even Chick-fil-A.<\/p>\n
