Pull your own bottle from the wine vault, then char your own favorite cut of steak, chicken or fish on the open grills in the retro-Vegas dining room at Downtown’s most novel steakhouse. No steak costs more than $27. Fab, creative martinis and pinup art by Alberto Vargas. Tons of fun. No one under 21 allowed. Happy hour 5pm–7pm Sunday–Thursday.
