Peter Luger Steak House From Brooklyn To Las Vegas
First opened in 1887, the legendary Peter Luger Steak House in Brooklyn continues its 135-year commitment to aging and serving America’s highest-quality beef. Sol Forman and his family purchased the restaurant at an auction in 1950 from the namesake’s sons. Once acquired, Forman’s wife, Marsha, hired a retired USDA inspector to teach her the secrets to selecting beef, a skill that has since been passed down through four generations of Forman family owners.
The family visits the New York meat markets, hand-selecting the best from an already narrow selection of USDA Prime beef. If chosen, loin and rib cuts are stamped with the family’s approval and brought to their on-site dry-aging facilities, where they are kept under carefully regulated temperature and humidity conditions until they are ready for butchering. Peter Luger Las Vegas has designed a dry-aging facility specifically for this location to ensure that the rigorous, time-tested standards are met.
Peter Luger Steak House And Caesars Palace: Icons Team Up
“Caesars Palace is an iconic resort, and this partnership has allowed us to bring our family’s restaurant to the other side of America,” said Daniel Turtel, Vice President of Peter Luger Steak House. “From the classic industrial design that recalls the Brooklyn original to a state-of-the-art dry-aging room that keeps everything in-house, Caesars has worked with us tirelessly to bring our beloved brand to the heart of Las Vegas. We’re eager to open our doors.”
The menu, which has set the standard for American steak houses, is famously sparse. Regulars often order the Steak for One, Two, Three or Four without ever looking at a menu. The restaurant also offers Rib Steak for One or Two, seafood options and a variety of renowned appetizers, salads and sides. The star of the show is the world-famous Peter Luger Steak for Two, a giant porterhouse that has been dry-aged in-house to perfection before being butchered and cooked in a broiler to order.
The steak is finished with butter on its serving platter and goes out sizzling. Additionally, Peter Luger fans line up for its signature Burger, which is only available at lunchtime. This traditional and flavorful half-pound lunch special is made with a patty full of USDA Prime chuck and dry-age trimmings.
The burger is served simply, with or without cheese and a slice of raw onion. Guests can choose to order a side of Peter Luger’s famous extra-thick cut bacon for a meatier burger. Exclusive to the Las Vegas location, the Chilled Shellfish Tower perfectly complements Peter Luger’s notable signatures. The tower is stuffed with shrimp, oysters, Maine lobster and king crab.
“Caesars Palace has a long history of firsts and has played an instrumental role in elevating the culinary landscape of Las Vegas,” said Terrence O’Donnell, Vice President and Assistant General Manager of Caesars Palace. “We are so proud to bring the timeless tradition of Peter Luger to the West Coast for the first time. We know our guests will love the understated elegance and commitment to quality Peter Luger will bring to the wide array of dynamic offerings at Caesars Palace.”
