In addition to overseeing the menu at Prime, Jean-Georges has his own eponymous steakhouse at the ARIA. With a slightly more casual ambiance but equally fine dining to its Bellagio counterpart, a highlight here is the tableside carvery, which includes a smoked Wagyu brisket, a 42-ounce Wagyu tomahawk, and a 36-ounce porterhouse. If you want some meat with your meat, go for the Japanese Wagyu carpaccio as a starter.

The self-titled steakhouse by Jean-Georges Vongerichten specializes in fine cuts of beef in a sharp, contemporary dining room. Under the day-to-day guidance of executive chef Sean Griffin, the restaurant serves true certified Kobe and F1 Wagyu (blended with Angus), seared lightly for a subtle crust, allowing the natural flavor of the meat to shine. Other cuts are grilled over apricot wood and mesquite.

The Jean Georges Steakhouse in Aria, for example, has a special that includes Zarkana and dinner for $158 as well as a drink at Zarkana. That seems like a decent deal to me. Not cheap but certainly not a bad deal.

One of the world’s most famous chefs and a protégé of Paul Bocuse, Vongerichten had already traveled the world, developed a unique personal style by combining a French foundation with Asian techniques and flavors and cooked in prestigious kitchens from Hong Kong to New York City when he was approached by Steve Wynn about opening a restaurant at Bellagio. Vongerichten agreed and created Prime, the regal lakeside steakhouse that cultivated countless culinary talents through the years including Wylie Dufresne and Kerry Simon. The chef expanded his Vegas presence in 2009 with the sleek and inviting Jean Georges Steakhouse at Aria.

During the self-guided gourmet tour, guests are provided with immediate seating and multiple courses at three of ARIA’s restaurants, including either Carbone, Jean-Georges Steakhouse, Catch or Bardot Brasserie. VIPs have access to a virtual guide and pre-selected craft cocktails, and night owls can extend their tour by upgrading the experience to include a limo ride to Maverick Helicopters for a Champagne toast, followed by a 15-minute flight aboard an ECO-Star helicopter for a bird’s-eye view of the Strip.

Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s self-titled restaurant provides an updated version of traditional American steakhouse dishes, from the best cuts of meat to the most inventive methods. According to head chef Sean Griffin, the restaurant’s Kobe and F1 Wagyu (a cross between Angus and Kobe) cattle are cooked perfectly on a regular basis so that their inherent flavours may show through. According to the recipe, some of the meat is roasted, while others are grilled over apricot and mesquite woods.

With contemporary surroundings and a refined atmosphere, we loved the plush leather seats and dark interiors in Jean Georges Steakhouse inside the Aria Hotel Resort. The menu’s signature dishes include Jean Georges’ Wagyu beef, but I kept it simple and went for the rib-eye, which was seasoned well and melt-in-the-mouth-tenderly rare, just how I asked for it. I really didn’t need to start with the Sushi sampler or order a side of fries and mac & cheese.

If you are looking for the best of the best, Jean Georges Steakhouse is just the place at Aria. They offer Kobe A5 beef, sometimes regarded as the best beef in the world. However, they have two other types of beef, dozens of cuts, and offerings beyond steak.

Why You Need To Dine Here: Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten traveled throughout Asia which influenced his unique use of flavors and textures from vegetable juices, fruit essences, herbal vinaigrettes, and light broths in his signature cuisine.

Jean-Georges offers a three-course prix-fixe menu ($118) and two six-course tasting menus ($198): a traditional tasting of the chef's signature dishes and a seasonal tasting featuring fresh market ingredients.

World-renowned Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's traditional steakhouse. If you are craving Kobe A5, arguably the best beef in the world, we have it. But, the offerings extend far beyond a simple steak.

Classic steakhouse Jean Georges at the Aria is one of the most expensive restaurants in Las Vegas that's worthy of a splurge if you love Kobe beef.
