I've read and heard several reports that say Esquire magazine did a story on the top 20 steaks in the country and 3 of them are in Las Vegas. The story says that the number one steak in the country is at StripSteak in Mandalay Bay, SW Steakhouse in the WynnDot had the 3rd best, and Benihana was also in the top 20.

I went online to try to verify this report and came up pretty short. I found where Esquire did a study on the top 20 steaks. This online report has 20 steaks listed and only one came from Las Vegas.

Does anyone else know more about this stroy?

I don't know the story but we ate at Stripsteak in the Mandalay Bay just about a year ago and each of us ordered a steak and all three meals were terrible. I'm surprised that they were rated #1, but I guess even the "best" has a bad night once in a while.

That's the first time that I heard of Stripsteak being terrible. I believe that this report was focused strictly on a specific steak. It did not count service, atmosphere, presentation, price, or anything else. With that in mind, was your Stripsteak terrible?

I've never heard of Stripsteak being the best in town before this.

Here's a link to the Esquire story so everyone can draw their own conclusions - I drooled over almost the whole lot<g>.
