STK Steakhouse Las Vegas: 34-Oz Steak on a $100 Resort Credit

Living in Arizona, we have been to enough steakhouses to know when one is actually good versus when the ambiance is doing most of the work. STK has been on our radar for a while. Since we were already at The Cosmopolitan with a $100 resort credit sitting there, Christmas Eve felt like the right time to finally find out.

We had read some mixed reviews on Reddit going in. We went anyway with an open mind, skipped the drinks to stay within budget, and focused entirely on the meat.

The Atmosphere

STK is a franchise with more than 28 locations, which can sometimes mean a polished but generic experience. The Vegas location leans into The Cosmopolitan's energy: high ceilings, a lively crowd, loud music, and a room that feels like it takes itself just seriously enough without being stuffy about it. It is not a quiet, white-tablecloth steakhouse. It is a steakhouse that wants you to have fun while you eat an expensive piece of beef.

We visited on Christmas Eve, which meant the happy hour menu was not available since it was all-day dinner pricing for the holiday. The regular happy hour runs daily until 5:30 PM and is the way to explore more of the menu without the full dinner bill. Worth planning around if you can.

Our server was excellent. Knowledgeable, not pushy, and made a side dish recommendation that turned out to be the right call. They also served the steak on a warm plate, which is a small detail that matters more than people realize. Nothing kills a steak faster than a cold plate pulling the heat out.

What We Ordered

34-Ounce Tomahawk (Shared)

The centerpiece and the reason to come. We shared it, which was plenty of food for the two of us. The steak arrived at a perfect medium-rare with a proper crust: the kind of char on the outside that gives you that satisfying crunch before you hit the tender interior. Not over-seasoned, which I appreciate. A lot of steakhouses oversalt to mask lower quality meat. This one did not need it.

They brought out the STK Bold signature sauce on the side. It is vinegary, somewhere between A1 and Worcestershire, and a reasonable complement if you want sauce. But the steak was seasoned well enough that we barely touched it after the first bite.

Hash Browns with Grilled Onions, Cream, and Jalapeños

The server's recommendation, and it was the right call. These are not thin, crispy diner hash browns. They are thick, rich, and creamy with a spicy kick from the jalapeños that cuts through the richness of both the potato and the steak. If you are ordering a big cut of beef, you want something next to it that can hold its own, and this does.

The Bread

Our least favorite part of the meal. The smell was great: parmesan-heavy and buttery. But the texture was dense and hard rather than the soft, pull-apart bread you hope for. The herb oil they serve with it was genuinely good, but the bread itself was a miss. Skip it or order it knowing what to expect.

The Bill

Total before tip: $170. After the $100 resort credit, our out-of-pocket was $70 for a shared tomahawk at a Strip steakhouse on Christmas Eve. That is a genuinely good deal, and it is the kind of meal where resort credit feels like it is being used the right way rather than just absorbed into an overpriced cocktail round.

If you are staying at The Cosmopolitan and have credit to use, STK is a strong option. The value calculation at full price without a credit changes, especially if you are comparing it to other steakhouses in the area at similar price points.

How It Compares

We are Arizona locals and have a steakhouse reference point that STK has not quite displaced yet. It is a great meal, and we would go back, specifically targeting happy hour next time to try more of the menu at a better price. But it did not unseat our current favorite.

That said, for a Vegas visit using resort credit? Easy yes.
