Oooh, Commanders Palace is fantastic too, I always forget that one as well!

Thank you KimmyKim for mentioning Alan Albert's. I love really good aged steaks and prime rib, and Alan Albert's has both. However, if you love lobster, I mean really big lobster, then Alan Albert's kicks butt (I suggest a surf and turf combo).
Okay, the reason I didn't mention it before is that the restaurant is actually tucked away in a strip mall. Since I visit Vegas frequently on business, I am always asking about good places to check out. Well, a few of my friends (one of whom lives in Vegas) mentioned the place, and so I finally decided to drop by - and I'm sure glad I did.
Once you are inside it is like stepping into the past. The walls are adorned with black and white pictures of celebrity diners from the past. I swore I was crashing a Rat Pack hangout.
The service is great, as is the ambiance, and the food is excellent.
It's one of those places that you have to go inside to appreciate, but it's certainly worth the visit.
Here's to diamond in the rough special finds...
