After the Fire, Brand Steakhouse Debuts at Monte Carlo in Vegas

Where: 3770 Las Vegas Boulevard [map], Las Vegas, NV, United States, 89109

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.
