You’re going to be walking into a bakery, pass the kitchen and into a dry-aged meat cooler, if you want to arrive to the secret Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse and speakeasy. You may also have to know a guy to get you in, but don’t get wise– eh?
THE CONCEPT
“With Bugsy and Meyer’s Steakhouse, we want our guests to feel as if they’ve traveled back in time to when the Flamingo Las Vegas first opened, with glamour, class and intrigue, but positioned in today’s world with modern touches,” said Flamingo Las Vegas Regional President, Eileen Moore-Johnson.
The restaurant’s name is a nod to notorious mobster Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel and business partner, Meyer Lansky nickname “The Mob’s Accountant”, who together famously opened the Flamingo Las Vegas back in 1946.
The main dining room features a mix of natural and chic, including light and dark woods with bright jewel tones in décor and seating. The artwork will especially pop with vintage black and white images, including historical ones of the Flamingo and Las Vegas. Large booths will be anchors around the dining room, with traditional tables and half booths peppered throughout.
They was the first to introduce Hollywood glam to the desert, having created the first resort-style hotel on the Strip. It changed Las Vegas forever to what you see, know and love today.
THE FOOD
Bugsy & Meyer’s offers small bites at the bar, steakhouse classics and throwbacks, to tableside presentations, a raw bar and more. Bugsy & Meyer’s in-house dry aged program is showcased in the restaurant in a glass encased show cooler.
