During my stay at The Circa Resort, I dined at Barry's Downtown Prime, the upscale steakhouse on site. I ordered a bison ribeye steak ($112), baked potato ($17), Caesar salad ($19), and a Coke ($5). With tax ($12.81), the total came to $165.81 before tip. I've had burgers and meatloaf made with ground bison before, but never a steak cut. The bison was lean with a pleasant flavor--firmer than beef, yet not tough. It was an interesting first-time experience. The Caesar salad and baked potato weren't anything unique, but both were well-prepared in classic style. The lighting in the dining room was low, but the decor and furnishings were quite posh. The service provided by the staff was excellent.

Talk about attention to detail!! How awesome of Chef to highlight our special day!

Paid a visit for our anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service from Justin was GREAT. The Old Fashioned cocktail was very good, my dry-aged ribeye cooked medium was perfect with lots of char on the outside. So delicious. We split the Wedge salad and tater-tots. The tater tots are so good, wonderful flavor with a dip that completes them. My wife enjoyed the Filet Oscar style filled with crab and wonderfully cooked. Dessert was a very good banana cream pie with fresh cream and fresh bananas. We had such a nice dining here. The service is great and the food is so top notch. We'll be back, hopefully soon

Steak tartare

Beautiful restaurant, very classy and service is amazing the 46 oz tomahawk was like butter very delicious. It's a must visit located in Circa Hotel & Casino downstairs

This was my 2nd or 3rd time here and it was a good if not better than the last two times. The team here is exceptional--attentive, friendly, prestige! We were seated promptly and given a couple min to look over the menu. We started off ordering the braised short rib ravioli for our appetizer. This dish was incredibly savory, so rich in flavor and overall a well put together dish. The mushroom sauce was so so good, finishing it off with the table bread is a must. We also had a vesper martini and Shirley temple. Both made to our liking! For our entree we shared the surf and turf with creamed corn and green beans. The steak was cooked perfectly at medium temperate, nice char and warm center, very tinder. The sides were great too, we did not eat the chili sauce that accompanied the green beans and recommend getting it on the side in case the heat is more than expected. We were surprised with a tower of an assortment of cookies too, nice sweet bites to end the night. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and George was a great waiter!

BRAISED SHORT RIB RAVIOLI

What a memorable dinner my husband and I had here! It was a perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. The ambiance transported me back to the classic Vegas days, and the attention to detail in both service and food was remarkable. Our experience here was truly unforgettable. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We look forward to returning.

Came for my friend's Bachelor party and they were very accommodating for all 14 of us! The ambiance of this restaurant is very comforting. The waiter was very knowledgeable in the menu and preferred drinks of choices for us. There was also table side smoked Old Fashions that some of the guys ordered which was a great addition to our dining experience. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass which was very tender and tasty. We also ordered appetizers all around including Lobster Mac and Cheese, large shrimp cocktails and more!

Lobster truffle risotto and rib cap

Another exceptional dining experience at Barry's! This time, we got the following: lobster bisque- creamy, rich, and full of lobster chunks- and so good that we got extra bread to sop up every drop. Wedge salad- full of flavor and fresh ingredients. It's a large portion, and they are happy to serve it chopped so it's not so unwieldy. Short rib ravioli- maybe our favorite dish of the night! It is amazing- the sauce, cheese, pasta, and tender short rib integrate so well and every bite was incredible. Rib cap- we got it medium rare and were extremely happy with it. They sliced it so we could share. Just the right char, tender, flavorful and juicy. Lobster truffle risotto- another mind blowing dish. Creamy, cheesy, and so many good chunks of lobster. The truffle flavor was delicious without being overwhelming. Cinnamon bun with ice cream- we were literally fighting to get bites of this amazing dessert! The ambiance was beautiful and we loved the dj! It added to the experience but wasn't so loud that you couldn't hold a conversation. Michelle was our server and she was top notch. Professional, friendly, great recommendations, and attentive without being intrusive. The only thing we disliked was the old fashioned (not the tableside service). Something tasted off with it. The rest of our cocktails were great. Of course, this is a spendy experience, but well worth it!

Banana cream pie
Pete A.

Wow, what if find this place was. It's in downtown Las Vegas so it's off the strip. He definitely get a different flavor of Las Vegas even entering into the area. The restaurants located in the casino and it is a hidden gem. We had reservations so we were seated fairly quickly at around 8:30 at night on a Friday. The place is packed throughout the night. Big Restaurant very first class environment first class staff. We started off with some cheesesteak eggrolls, which are very flavorful. Their bread and focaccia was amazing. Their lobster bisque was poured in front of you and was Rich in flavorful. The CapCut ribeye was cooked just right and seasoned perfectly as an aged steak should be. I topped it off with a banana cream pie and a cappuccino. Another friend had similar cut as mine. And then another friend had the bison ribeye he really enjoyed it.

The BEST SALAD EVER Crab Salad Butter lettuce with avocado and green goddess dressing.
Tiffany M.

Chile! Everything about my experience here was awesome! The setting. The servers. The sommelier who suggested a delicious crisp sparkling wine...chef's kiss! I have been raving about this salad ever since I had the first bite. So buttery so fresh and crisp. It was a crab saladwirh avocado and green goddess dressing and it wasn't that bad of a price. I've paid more for a crab Louis salad in the Bay area, so to be at this establishment now.... Honestly, I had it as my entree. It could be shared as an appetizer, or you know, but no complaints. I also tried my cousin's asparagus....yummmy and smokey. I will definitely return. In my dreams...I would hop on a flight to eat the salad!

Overall: Barry's Downtown Prime is the perfect place to go for good vibes on a date or classy night out. The restaurant is beautiful, and the service is good. Food: 4 Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls: This was a fun little bite and came with a nice tomatoey sauce that balanced the richness/saltiness of the egg roll. Salmon: I ordered it medium rare. It was closer to medium but was not dry and had nice crispy skin. The potato cake that came with it wasn't super crispy but tasted good when eaten with everything else. Scallops & Bacon: The scallop was well cooked and made a nice (albeit slightly salty) bite when eaten with the toppings and garnishes. Sides: The asparagus and lobster mac & cheese were both delicious. The asparagus was well cooked with a balsamic glaze that balanced the saltiness of it well. The lobster mac & cheese came with a generous amount of lobster mixed with well cooked pasta. Service: 4.5 Our waiter was attentive without being annoying. He noticed some things that went wrong without us having to bring it up and corrected them immediately. Our waiter was 5/5, but I had to take away 0.5 stars for mistakes made by the kitchen (sending out our sides before mains etc). Ambiance: 5 The restaurant is located below the casino within the Circa Casino. It was beautiful and a good hybrid of modern and old school.

We came here for our anniversary, and note that parking is not free here, but it was all worth it. The service here was impeccable. Britney took care of us all night, and Billy and Dilan came by to make sure we were enjoying our dinner and their customer service was 100. We ordered dirty martinis with bleu cheese olives - very good btw, the complimentary bread basket was so good - one was like a cheesy sourdough roll, and the other one was like a light pizza foccacia. We ordered the Steak TarTare (yummm and it comes with toasted slices of bread), the Real "Garbage" Salad (light on dressing and it was still slightly salty, but still a great salad, plus they split it for us), the Rib Cap (cooked perfectly med rare, plus they cut it for us into 6 pieces), and then a side of Japanese Sweet Potato (we loved it). Then we ended the meal with their famous Sticky Toffee Butter Cake (wow, and you can share with at least 3 people, maybe 4)! It was an amazing dining experience and the restaurant is just so beautiful. I will be coming back for sure!

My fiance took me here for my birthday The place was busy we had a reservation and still had about a ten minute wait. The food was delicious. I ordered filet and lobster. We also had the mashed potatoes which were amazing and Brussel sprouts that were too salty (they did take them off our bill). The experience was festive and we decided h the is might be our celebration spot!

French Onion Soup
Lindsey D.

Service was exceptional. The food was cooked perfectly. Lobster pierogies were very good however they didn't taste anything like lobster. Lobster Mac and cheese had huge chunks of lobster in it and was really good. The place itself is a lot bigger than it appears and overall it's the perfect spot for a nice intimate dinner.

What is the corkage fee?

Good evening, to complement our wine list, there is a $50 corkage fee per 750 ml wine bottle (for wines not represented on our wine list) with a 2 bottle maximum per table.

Do they have a DJ on Friday nights? If so, what kind of music and how loud?

Hello, We do have a resident DJ who spins every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 7:00pm until… 

Do they still serve the lobster and shrimp potstickers?

Hi Joanne! At this time that dish is not featured on our menu, Chef Barry and his team are considering bringing it back soon! Thank you and have a great day!

If you're staying at the Circa can I order room service from their Barry's Downtown Prime steakhouse?

Unfortunately, Barry's doesn't deliver room service, though I'm not sure ordering out from this restaurant is the best policy anyway. Half of what you're treating yourself to… 

My father can't walk too far, is the entrance somewhat close to the valet parking entrance on Ogden/ main?

Good evening Erika. The entrance on Ogden/Main is about 100 to 120 feet from the escalator that leads down to Barry’s Downtown Prime, it is not far. The valet parking at Garage Mahal is however several hundred feet away and a much longer walk… 

I thought I saw they have a bar and possibly a happy hour?

Thank you for reaching out! Our bar opens daily at 4:30pm. We do not however have a happy hour. Our full dinner menu is available starting 5pm throughout the restaurant,… 

Does Barry's offer half order sides for those who are dining solo?

Good evening, we do not offer half order sides however Chef Barry and the culinary team can create a custom menu for 1 with advance notice. Please email yl@barrysdowntownprime.com and I’ll be more than happy to set that up for you!

Is there a happy hour menu or what and when is it?

Good afternoon and thank you for reaching out. We do not offer happy hour, but we do offer our full dinner menu in the bar area ever evening.

Is this restaurant overly loud or dark? I plan to have a group out for a business dinner and want to make sure we aren't yelling across the table.

Good afternoon, we have a DJ on Fridays and Saturdays, the dining room definitely gets louder starting approx 7:30pm through 11pm. We are able to control the volume in our private rooms however. Also, no DJ Sunday through Thursday. The room is not… 

Can I dine as part of one?

I've seen parties of 1 dine at the bar, but if it were me I'd dine at the table as a party of one also. I don't see why not, just my opinion.

Is this place kid friendly? I tried to call the restaurant multiple time and I get no answer

There is a sign, as you walk through the front... says no one under 21 allowed beyond that point. I wouldnt bring my kids here, even without the sign. This is more of a dinner date place for a couple or with other adults.

What is the dress code?

I honestly didn't see dress code being enforced. Saw people with shorts and a t shirt, some people with suits and then some semi formal.

I like to reserve a table for 4 on Tuesday's at 5 or 6 if possible?

Call and make a res. We did. Service and cuisine tops. Had a memorable dinner. Will be back😋.

Are any of the vegan options also gluten free?

yes they have a vegan menu https://www.barrysdowntownprime.com/menus/

What are the stuffed shrimp from the steak "add-ons" section of the menu, stuffed with?

Crabmeat, stuffing, spices, cheese if i recall

Do you need reservations and are you at full capacity?

I would make reservations it was packed and we went on a Thursday night. I wouldn't chance it if you know you want to eat there

We will be in Las Vegas for the new year, should we make reservation at Barry's or others as well in advance prior to arriving to Las Vegas? Thanks

Yes I would definitely make reservations before they get booked up! Governor has cut dining to 25 % capacity.

Is there a dress code?

I don't think so. We were dressed appropriately for an evening out & dinner at a nice steak house. However, I did see a few patrons dressed down with tennis shoes & casual shirts.

Did they have music playing in the background? If yes, what type or style?

Yes they do and they play music from all genres but in a classic & jazzy way. A live DJ comes out later in the evenings and the music gets more clubby.

Our waitress was super friendly and really encouraged us to try some things because we really weren't sure about the menu. She was super attentive and we really appreciated that. The reason I'm giving this a three star review (and I feel bad doing so) is because I genuinely hated the drinks. Like viscerally hated. The menu really was a struggle as someone who's a gin drinker. There wasn't a lot on the menu which I'm often used to, but the drinks were either cloyingly sweet or incredibly tart and bitter. There seems to lack of balance and there were a lot of really weird flavors that really didn't seem to go together. Now I can't speak on every single drink on the menu, but I did try a couple that are either premixed or on tap and I really struggled with them. I was excited about the ginger drink, and I was given a taste of their homemade ginger beer, and it felt like it was going to burn a hole through my stomach. Which is typically not my reaction to anything gender flavored. I just think the balance of flavors are not quite right and so certain things overpowered other flavors. I ended up really not wanting anything on the menu because everything was so rum based and I really don't like rum, so they offered to make me a cocktail with some flavors that I liked. They told me they had passionfruit, which I was really excited about. It usually is a really nice combination of sweet but not too sweet and good fruity flavor. I had a passionfruit gin drink made, and it was absolutely gorgeous coming out. Unfortunately, what I didn't know was that the passionfruit that they have is on the very sour and tart side (contained by a staff member later), which has never been my experience with passionfruit in the past. One of the things that I told the waitress was that I really don't like sour. I like citrus but not something that is so overly sour that it tastes like I'm eating a warhead. And the drink that was made for me had both lemon and this really tart passionfruit to the point all I could taste was this awful sour flavor. I felt bad and drank it and was not about to ask it off the bill because they were so kind about everything. The drink ended up only being nine dollars and I genuinely wonder if they undercharged me, but I felt a lot better that that's all I paid for it. Aesthetically it was beautiful, but it tasted horrible. I tried my friends drink, which was a play on a margarita with Mezcal, and that was also incredibly bitter and sour. I'm not someone who needs disgustingly sweet drinks, hence me not liking rum, but I do need a balance of sweetness with the other flavors. My friend thought her drink was OK, but she said she wouldn't order it again. I would definitely give this location another shot if I could figure out a drink that would work, but it seems their drinks either are very sour or very sweet and I'm hoping that at some point they will be able to find a good balance between the two.

The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 I was looking for a cocktail bar to try in Vegas and I'm so glad that I tried this place. Located in the Uncommons, I parked in their parking structure. I hung out for longer than 2 hours so I think that's why I paid $3 for parking at the end of the night. Entrance located in the Quad Area. Our waitress Bella was sweet and recommended the right drinks. We tried the Li Hung Hula margarita, Monkey In A Tree piña colada, and the Oso Panda signature cocktail. All drinks tasted amazing and looked very good. I loved the ambiance of this place. They have outdoor patio seating and inside seating. It gives a comfy feel with their seat cushions, small tables, and stools. I noticed it got busier as the night got later. They have one T.V. that they had on when I came in but was covered up by the time I left. I definitely recommend this place. Glad I came after dinner as they do not serve food here. I would definitely come again!

I've been to the Uncommons many times but the reason I never stopped into this place was because I…read morewas always looking for food. I will say on weekend nights, I had always seen this place crowded and lively. I was for sure curious. On a weekday evening, I strolled into this venue. It had great chill music and had some customers, but not busy at all. The weather had been a little more humid than usual and with the full opened walls/doors to the outside patio, it was a bit warm, little muggy sitting at the bar. The decor is really nice though, a really good tiki vibe. The bartender addressed us right away and we were first looking for an espresso martini but they had a Carajillo, which was explained to be a Spanish version of an espresso martini. The bartender said it was really good. We got it - and you have to expect something that is the same as the espresso martini. The flavor was alright, but the knock for me was that it was all ice. There was very little drink in it. The agua fresca was a winner - the Sundown Sipper. It was refreshing and a great blend of juices. Not tart, perfect amount of sweet tropical flavor. I did really enjoy this. If you're not a drinker, you have options here.

We came to Velveteen Rabbit after a disappointing dinner experience elsewhere, and honestly, this…read moreplace was exactly what we needed. The atmosphere immediately took my wife and me back to our early adult years in the best possible way. The dim lighting, mellow crowd, and music all worked together perfectly, and somehow the playlist felt like it matched the crafted cocktails and overall vibe of the room. One of the things we appreciated most was being able to actually sit together and have a conversation without having to yell over loud music or a packed crowd. It felt relaxed, mature, and genuinely enjoyable--a breath of fresh air compared with so many bars that seem focused more on being loud than creating a good atmosphere. The cocktails were excellent, the bartenders were top-notch, and the entire experience felt thoughtful from beginning to end. If you're looking for a place with a mature vibe, great drinks, good music, and an atmosphere where you can actually enjoy the person you're with, Velveteen Rabbit is a must-visit.

Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 This was my second time here and it was less busy than the first time I came. I feel like this place can be easily missed since the building is all black, but definitely worth stopping in for. Vibes are very dark and intimate, yet lively. I am not sure how to explain it, but I liked it. Lol Somehow you can make a reservation, but I haven't looked into it. There were a bunch of seating against the wall on the couches but they were all reserved. My friend and I ended up at the bar in the "standing room" which was fine! Their seasonal menu is Conspiracy Theory based. I from that menu and my drink was called the Moon Landing Hoax, which was recommended to me but pretty strong in my opinion. I will say that the aesthetic of the drink was super cool with the astronaut. My friend ordered from their regular menu. She enjoyed her Repo Espresso Martini and she would order that again! All in all, I still like this bar a lot! I would come back again.

Wow! This bar is super hidden but thankfully my husband had been here before so he knew how to find…read moreit again. We invited two friends and we had separate reservations but they were able to seat us together! We enjoyed the welcome cocktail, which was tequila based and presented in a coconut kinda thing that was overflowing with dry ice for effects. So fun. They gave us these books for menus! Each cocktail had a story like description and a gorgeous photo. They have two parts to the cocktail menu, with the back end ha I g market price cocktails. Watch out! The market price old fashioned was $295 due to the vintage old forester in it. The cheapest cocktail I saw was $38, the velvet moon, which my husband has had many times. He had it again, as his second cocktail, so that I would try it; it is so good. His first cocktail was the Passion's Serenade $45. What a cool idea and it was tasty. Most drinks were around $60. I took my time and ordered the Liberty's Torch. I had no idea they would bring the elements to the table and make it right in front of me! Wow! My second cocktail was the Maison de Luxe $70. Our friends had the velvet moon as well! And they had some sort of Mexican style drink like a cantarito which came with a little sombrero hat that they got to keep! I was impressed that they brought a second snack set for our friends who joined us a little late. I was glad I could eat everything and not have to share! Haha This place is so unique but very expensive. We asked for the check so we could get on to dinner and they surprised us with four gelatin shots! Thank you! We will be back.

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with beautiful decor and a cozy, intimate atmosphere. The service was outstanding. Our bartender was super friendly and every drink were crafted and presented beautifully. The cocktails are definitely on the expensive side, but you're paying for the entire experience. They also bring out complimentary snacks and dessert jellies, and everything is served with incredible attention to detail. It's a small space, so I'd recommend making a reservation. If you're looking to treat yourself to a unique cocktail experience in Las Vegas, I would definitely recommend The Vault.
