My husband and I go to Vic and Anthony’s for the filet mignon. We have not found a better filet anywhere! It cuts like butter and the flavor is the best. :-)

[@Coolist]

I'm going to get the filet next time

[@Alex-fr2xb]

Love your solo restaurant reviews the most! Hope to see many more!

[@user-ps9py1qh6n]

Vic & Anthony's is my favorite, we go every time we are in Vegas. The Crab Cake there is the best i have ever had in my life and I try it everywhere i find it. I definitely agree on the Texas Candy topping on a steak. I must try the Quail now! Ill be there in about a week

[@williamhansen5498]

Totally enjoy all your reviews.

[@Coolist]

Thanks wH - appreciate that

[@guillermoreyes54]

Had dinner there a few week ago (June 2024) and the Ribeye (medium rare), the buttered mushrooms, and the smashed potatoes, are one of the best I ever tasted (I travel a lot in the US and Internationally), and they have one of the largest wine selection I ever see. You can not see a better quality-environment-price relation. Do no hesitate to pay them a visit. Reserve with anticipation, they are almost full on weekends, and are very strict with the reservation times.

[@GMartin407]

Holy hell. Nolets Reserve Negroni with Carpano Antica. Absolute class of a cocktail that must have been. Try a Bijou if you're feeling a spirit forward Gin cocktail. Gin, Sweet Vermouth, and sub the Campari for Green Chartreuse. takes it in a differrent direction from a negroni that I love.

[@scatherinelynch]

So excited your back in Vegas! Heading there in September. Still undecided on where to stay and make reservations so looking forward to your new videos!

[@Coolist]

I have Lots of fodder for you 😉

[@diggingmystyle]

My friend, you're spot on. I ate here last night and the quail was unbelievably good. I loved the Texas Candy sauce as well. The rib cap and crab cake are amazing.

[@xs10z]

I've eaten there about five times... it's always a stellar experience in every way. I, too, always sit at the bar to eat... there is never a problem doing that, and you get very fast service when you sit there. Can't wait to go there again!

[@jeffsusla6213]

As a fellow Wisconsinite yes on the deviled eggs and now I know why you can pound through so many drinks in a sitting. Cheers and great video as always. I’ll be at the GN in October and definitely be using your recommendations.

[@doubtilove]

Pleas now I went to republica like you said and it was definitely a vibe

[@cjkordas3447]

I ate here Saturday night a couple of weeks ago for my first time and I thought it was a beautiful place visually, I had the crab cake appetizer which I thought was amazing - nothing like the Maryland crab cakes I am more familiar with but it was perfectly seasoned and huge chunks of crab meat made it a delicious beginning. I also ordered the ribeye medium. it came out a perfect med rare which is what i was hoping for as places tend to undercook - no texas candy just a HUGE side of broccoli and sea salt fries. Paired it with a glass of merlot and it was probably the best steak I have had that wasn't sous vide. Top 3 in Vegas in my book idk about in the country

[@larrybenton777]

The vibe and decor at Vic's is perfect for a steakhouse. I really enjoyed it. Even more than Jean George's, which is excellent. My favorite probably still Prime at Bellagio for the view and Sinatra vibes.

[@alexmiller7505]

Negroni aficionado here. Nolet's Reserve price varies wildly. At consumer level pricing I've seen it as high as 500 a bottle. However, at whole sale it could run 150-200 a bottle. There isn't anything super special about Antica Carpano vermouth other than it's just a quality vermouth. That typically runs about 30 a bottle give or take. Campari is Campari, you either love it or hate it, their really isn't an in between. Gold leaf probably added 20-30 bucks to that drink but to be honest I wouldn't put Nolet's in a Negroni. Personally I would think it's botanical qualities would be wasted once you mix it with such a powerful companion like Campari. Personally I think the best gin for Negroni's is Hendrix. It's not as floral as other gins but it still has good qualities and let's face it, one you start mixing a high end liquor with 2-3 other ingredients everything gets lost in the shuffle. Long rant here lol, but Hendrix, a good dry vermouth, Campari in equal amounts, stirred on ice, never shaken and poured over one big rock with an orange peel is the way to drink it.

[@Coolist]

Helluva comment - awesome insight, Alex.

[@Coolist]

Maybe it's the Campari that i don't care for. I'm starting to think that's the case...

[@alexmiller7505]

@@Coolist you can ask for oneade with apertol instead it's much less intense

The maple glazed quail was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the wagyu filet mignon. Will definitely eat there again.

[@Coolist]

Next time I will definitely try the filet

can't wait for the Luxor review!!!!!¡

[@thelycanvikin1840]

Love your videos man! First time commenting and as an ex cook I respect that you always try to work your way around a well made menu. After this 30 days do you know what your next trip is? Would love you to do an all inclusive at el dorado royale Riviera Maya and let me know your take on it. I booked an 8 days trip in March 4 to Riu republica punta cana/4 days at royaltin chic

[@Coolist]

I still am going to try to do Jamaica and Mexico this year so maybe one of those

[@GlimmerBelle]

Vic & Anthony’s is one of my top favorite places to go for special occasion dinners here in Houston. I love going to Vegas to try new places but have considering trying their location of Vic’s & Anthony’s to see if it’s comparable. Now I really want to haha! :)

[@DeMan-1032]

I would like to know if you have reviewed the Golden Steer in Vegas? If not that would be a good one to get your feedback on. We always go every time we are in Vegas. It is very old school and we were very apprehensive when looking at it from the outside but wholly crap where we surprised. We have been to many of the same places and this is right up there in my opinion. Great cocktail list and hands down the best tableside preparation of a Caesar salad, chateaubriand carved tableside for two and tableside bananas foster you will ever have.

[@patrickfreeman205]

Looked like a fantastic meal. When I am in Vegas, it’s Jean Georges for me.

[@Coolist]

I'm with you on JG. There will be some Prime action on this trip

[@VegasYouTuberSteve]

Getting burned out on strip hotels so I want to stay at the Circa for my Freemont Street stay. I now may add a couple nights at the Nugget too. I always base my Vegas trips on your stellar reviews. Oh, if you're ever in Tampa Florida. You must eat at Bern's Steakhouse. You will add them to your list for sure. Thanks James! 👍🙏

[@Coolist]

Bern's - noted... ✔️. Circa and GN are absolutely the two best options downtown - they are in a league of their own, but interestingly, two opposite experiences. Do both :)

[@lucasstames5940]

Did you have more fun here or sugar? The best shrimp cocktail for me was at the W! Ft. Lauderdale pool side 2014

[@mblumenstein1]

Where's Cut at Venetian, Coolist? That place absolutely blew us away. Bavette's is spot on. Prime is other worldly too. Headed to V & A's on your recommendation in a few weeks. Cheers.

[@curly6619]

Speaking of quail and Michelin, you must try Picasso in the Bellagio if you haven't already.

[@paulhenry8586]

The best appetizer I've ever had in my life was at this restaurant. A quail plate where they had seared the birds in some sort of orange raspberry marmalade not the maple glaze they were phenomenal

[@jtoddsmith73]

Please go eat and do a review of Nusr-et. I would really like to hear your take on that dining experience.

[@thor4644]

in ac they have happy hour 1 dollar clams and oysters

[@donnalopez8272]

Great vlog. Have you tried Oscar's steakhouse

[@Coolist]

Not yet! It's one of the very few last few, alongside the one at Circus Circus and the new one at Resorts World.

[@larrypreiser4511]

I'm a big fan of CUT steakhouse. Vuc and Anthony's is absolutely phenomenal though.

[@curly6619]

Top 10 steakhouse in America and people are still allowed in looking so casual like that couple in the opening. No respect! I'm a local and I miss old Vegas :( Thanks for your videos, I like to travel solo as well!

[@mrpeel3239]

Do they wet or dry edge their beef?

[@jasonep2]

That looked like a really good meal. Yet one more reason for me to find my way downtown on a future trip to Vegas. And regarding Negroni, I'm not a huge fan of Campari, so when I order a Negroni I tend to get one with Cappaletti (l find it less astringent/bitter than Campari) instead. Or, if I want to go with more of a variation on the traditional Negroni, I make one with equal parts Bols Genever (a gin like spirit that is distilled from a grain like malted barley, rye or corn and can only be made in the Netherlands, Belgium and parts of France and Germany), Punt e Mes Vermouth (a great bitter-sweet Italian vermouth) and Cynar (an amaro made using artichokes, among other ingredients). And speaking of best steakhouses in the US, I just found one of your older videos where you visited Manny's. I'd love to see you do a Minneapolis steakhouse series ranking the best ones in town and how they compare to other steakhouses you've been to (I've only been to local ones and a couple in Vegas and so far, Manny's is still my #1)

[@Coolist]

Yo Jason. Great insight on the Negroni - I'll try to remember Cappaletti next time (if there is a next time 😊). I've done most of not all of the MSP steakhouses, but not really on the channel. It'd be fun to revisit them again especially after all of my time in Las Vegas

[@GMartin407]

Are you/have you been a bartender before or are you just really well learned on your spirits? This list is spot on coming from a bartender.

[@jasonep2]

​@@GMartin407 Spirits (and wine, too) are a big interest of mine and I like to learn more about things I drink. I'm not a bartender but I enjoy making cocktails and coming up with different things (usually riffs on classic cocktails).

[@joshowens2219]

Maple glazed quail is the best thing on the menu. Crab cake a close second. Wasn't too impressed with the filet mignon. The baked potatoe was a freak of nature how big it was.

[@waynechernick3526]

Me personally best steak in Vegas is the Tomahawk at Adiamos at the D.

[@dandeely1000]

Don't know if you've ever had a Boulevardier. It's basically a Negroni but made with bourbon instead of gin. Also sometimes I will ask for Aperol instead of Campari, it's not quite as intensely bitter. Enjoyed the review!

[@Coolist]

Very prophetic that you mention a Boulevardier... 😎

CUT was one of my first faves of Vegas steakhouses. The modern and classy aesthetic coupled with the creative menu makes it a Vegas standout.

[@joshowens2219]

Best shrimp cocktail around.

[@johnstout6026]

Been bartending for 20 years. The reason this was the best Negroni you have ever had was because of the sweet vermouth. Carpano anitca is the quintessential high end vermouth for this type of drink. Nolets gin isn’t bad, but there are better options. I would recommend you try a cocktail called a boulevardier. This is basically a bourbon Negroni. Thanks for the video. Cheers.

[@Coolist]

Good take. I had one at mgm grand 😎

[@ryancooke4028]

Not just Nolet’s. This was Nolet’s reserve that runs about $600-700 per bottle.

Think I disagree with you on you have to be a top 3 Vegas steakhouse to be in the top 10 in the country. I think we conservatively have 6 of the top 10 steakhouses in the country. It's odd to think about, but having been to most of the top end Chicago steakhouses, not one of them would beat my top 10 in las vegas (I'm with you I think Bavettes is the best one in Chicago).

Dear "Mr. Coolist, so glad I came on one of the punta cana reviews or I would haver met such a warm, honnest. And down to earth sexy man lol.. Your life lessons give so much power and yes been in a relationship wicth a narcissistich psycho... We were 7 years together I worked as sales for a travel company si I gave my all and traveled a lot solo due to my job.... So my e, was free and did his best in 'meeting" seeing him heat multiple times litterly broke my heart... So open heart surgery... He left we difforced when I was still in hospital and took every bit of money he could. So leaving the hospital after 7 months, I found myself in our empty house with my cats being under fed... He asked you keep them or I do euthasie on y them. Of courted I keep them, they're my little darlings. Went back to sales, worked my ass off, like 20 hours a day... He divorced me in a very hard disrespectful was. I broke.. The they discovered a cancer tumor and removed the kidney... And well meeting se one new, so passionate and helpful till I discovered he wa a heavy coke you're. It broke me so hard I committed suicide, found me and 3 days in coma but I fought back. So ended in an Psychiatric hospital for six months. I came out totally new. But mom got Brain infarct so I decide to quit job and everything and will take her in and taking care of her. That's 5 years now, but one thing is I'm very happy to be able to do so. End looking for some holidays isaw your Punta Cana réviews and it was like seeing a gréat handsome , fashionable and filosofer. Thank you, you have saved my life.
