The story
Craftsteak is a Las Vegas steakhouse at 3799 Las Vegas Boulevard South, inside MGM Grand, and it holds a Forbes Travel Guide recommendation for 2026. The menu reaches well beyond the usual steakhouse plate, with a steak-focused core and vegetables, fruits and meats sourced with care.
James Beard Award-winning chef Tom Colicchio writes the menu. The kitchen works with local, small farms, on the principle that fresher ingredients taste better. Potatoes here are not an afterthought.
The three-course tasting menu is the most direct way in. Options include angus beef and an Australian A5 wagyu surf and turf. Save room for pastry chef Carrie Chesto's desserts, especially the monkey bread, a gussied-up cinnamon roll served with brown sugar sour cream ice cream.
