Rate Vegas

This place is almost hidden, and not just because the resort is so departed from the main drag of downtown. Pullman Grille is a steakhouse located in a somewhat hidden corner of Main Street Station, away from the casino, past the lobby, past the gift shop, and right near the room elevators. It’s certainly notable with it’s elaborate wood interior (some of it real carving) and historic entryway. However the centerpiece is a genuine train car sitting to the side of the dimly lit dining room. You can’t sit and eat in the train, inside it is a cigar bar. If you just want to see the train car without eating here, there’s a similar one outside the property between this hotel and Plaza.

I had the prime rib, and it was okay. Fairly common steakhouse-quality prime rib, certainly better than a buffet but not the heaven-on-Earth quality that I’ve only experienced at Seattle’s SkyCity (on the Space Needle) and here in Vegas at Sir Galahad’s in the Excalibur.

My suggestion is that you look around Main Street Station and see if the old-fashioned style of the hotel suits you. If it does, try the Pullman because it’s just as gorgeous as the rest of the property. If it doesn’t, go do Binion’s or the California’s steakhouse instead.
