Plaza Casino Review - CLOSED Jump to comments

The Plaza Casino is a fixture in downtown Las Vegas. It resides at the end of the road of the downtown casino walkway. In the old days, you could drive your car down that street and be surrounded by dazzling Vegas lights. Today, that street is a walkway only and it’s part of the Fremont Street Experience. Did you know that the Plaza hotel and casino was in the famous movie, “Casino”? There’s a scene in there where  Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone are dining and arguing over money. In the movie you can see out onto Downtown from the restaurant. The Center Stage restaurant has since been closed, but you can still eat under the famous glass dome at Oscar's Steakhouse.

Although no longer called Center Stage, Oscar's Steakhouse is still a famous place to eat in Las Vegas. It’s filled with history. Today,  Oscar's Steakhouse offers an outstanding view of the Fremont Street Experience. The entire restaurant is encapsulated in a beautiful glass dome, which provides one unique eating experience. Gone are the days of the  26oz Porterhouse but who brings their dog to Vegas anyway, or could eat such a slab of beef? Today you will find upscale pricing and more reasonable 8oz and 12oz filet mignon.  Oscar's Steakhouse is one of the great places to dine in downtown Las Vegas. Be sure to read our restaurant review of Oscar's here.

It’s hard to talk about one specific show or event associated with the Plaza, because they always change their entertainment list to bring you the best shows. The Plaza offers a wide range of entertainment options including: comedy, boxing matches, traditional Vegas lounge acts, arm wresting, magic shows and many more. There’s always something different going on. Currently Emmy award winning comedian Louie Anderson performs Wednesdays through Saturdays, there is the Bonkers Comedy Club, and ZBar with LIVE entertainment on the weekends.
