The quintessential New York City steakhouse Peter Luger brings its flagship dry-aged porterhouse that arrives tableside with a sizzle, thick-cut bacon, and lunch-only burger to the Las Vegas Strip at the end of 2022.

The restaurant that opened in 1887 in South Williamsburg and became a go-to destination for New Yorkers and visitors alike lands in the former Rao’s space at Caesars Palace… Rao’s closed last November.

The 135-year-old Peter Luger Steak House essentially created the blueprint for the American steakhouse and looks like a German beer hall with dealmakers at one table sitting aside families celebrating a special occasion at the next. The Las Vegas version promises to bring Luger’s notoriously gruff, bow-tied waitstaff, old-world charm, and on-site dry-aging of USDA-Prime steaks.
