Since legalizing gambling in 1931, Nevada has made Las Vegas a symbol of extravagance, particularly with its prime rib offerings. The dish has become a culinary icon on the Vegas Strip, with most hotels promoting their prime rib specials. The popularity initiated with El Rancho's buffet and The Last Frontier's table-side dinners, leading to fierce competition. Despite inflation, prime rib remains affordable, embodying a sense of wealth for diners. This contrasts with the typically labor-intensive preparation of prime rib, making it a sought-after experience in Vegas.
The prime rib dinner, originally priced at $1.50 in 1942, offers an experience of lavishness and indulgence that has remained accessible over the decades.
The Vegas Strip's devotion to prime rib began with El Rancho's 24-hour buffet and was solidified by The Last Frontier's table-side service, setting off fierce competition.
