    Nice to see a steak place that isn’t dark and cave-like. SW at Wynn has always been my favorite because it is more open and bright than most steakhouses but it is more formal than Bugsy & Meyers. Will have to try this one on my next time I stay at Flamingo. Great video. Keep up the good work.

    Love the look of the place, especially the variations in the different dining areas. It definitely looks like a place that belongs at Flamingo.
    The Mother Superior cocktail looked like a really tasty version of a Mary Pickford, one of my favorite classic rum cocktails.
    Yet another place to add to my ever growing list of restaurants to check out.

    The 2 nights I ate there I sat in the Flamingo mural room and the speakeasy. It had only been opened 2 months and was hard to find because none of the name signage was up yet. I tried to check in at the open air area and was told to enter the green walled area for reservations. It looks like the speakeasy is more well lit than when I was there. It looks like they have new dishes like that seafood trio appetizer too. I got the sauces on my first night too, but they weren't necessary like you said! I ordered asparagus and they brought a trough of it to the table! I got the créme cheesecake for dessert and it was decorated very well and was served with a chocolate coin that had Bugsy and Meyer's name in gold on it!
    B & M is a great experience but Bazaar Meat is a far greater experience!

    I’ve recently found your channel and I enjoy your style of presenting. Could you add dress code for some of the higher end places you visit? Maybe what they expect and what most people are wearing. I know you’re likely not an expert on ladies clothing, but some general guidelines. I’d also enjoy a video on where you shop for clothing or souvenirs when you visit.
