The Monte Carlo in Las Vegas seems to be recovering nicely from this year's serious fire, which injured 17 and shut down several floors of the hotel for a few weeks.

And the hotel is not wasting any time before bouncing back: the Light Group's BRAND Steakhouse has already opened on the Monte Carlo's casino floor.

BRAND's open design will lend itself to people-watching, and diners and voyeurs alike will go to see and be a part of the scene.

The menu was created by the Light Group's Executive Chef Brian Massie and will offer "imaginative interpretations of classic steakhouse favorites" along with large, one-of-a-kind chops.

It seems no Vegas hotel casino can be complete without a steakhouse and at BRAND, they're not messing around: the menu offers a 120-oz beef porterhouse (dubbed the "Ultimate Steak"), served with a choice of two house-made sauces and two sides. The meal is meant to be shared among six people -- if you wish.

If you can still move after that, the restaurant also has the BRAND lounge with five elevated plasma television screens and a booth for a live DJ. Don't worry, there's plenty of seating in case dancing on a full stomach gets dicey (or chunky).

The steakhouse and lounge will be open seven days a week from 5 p.m. to midnight with the last seating taking place at 10 p.m.
