Prime rib is part of the Las Vegas experience, but deals are getting harder to find.
As an affordable prime rib aficionado, I track the cheapest options (selfishly) so I know where to go.
This isn’t a rundown of the “best” or highest-quality prime rib; it’s options that won’t break the bank.
Quick note: Pricing can, and will, change- double-check the menu before making the trip!
On the Strip
Much to my chagrin, Strip prime rib deals have evaporated. Here’s an option within walking distance, however.
Ellis Island: While not located directly on the Strip, Ellis Island is a short walk behind Horseshoe and offers a king-cut Prime Rib meal for $34.99 at their Village Pub & Cafe.
This prime rib deal is served with garlic green beans and au jus sauce.
Downtown Las Vegas
Prime rib deals on Fremont Street are tough to find after the demise of Tony Roma’s (Fremont) and Siegel’s 1941 (El Cortez). Siegel’s will return for breakfast this fall, but the space will transition to Alex Prime, an upscale concept, in the evenings.
I assume their staple prime rib deal is over.
Nevertheless, we persist.
Freedom Beat at Downtown Grand: Offered during September 2026, Friday – Saturday from5-10pm, Freedom Beat is offering all you can eat Prime Rib for $19.99.
Market Street Cafe at California: For $24.99, Market Street serves up the “Cal Prime Rib” from 4-10 pm daily.
The meal includes a house salad and your choice of steamed rice, baked potato, mashed potatoes, or fries. Guests will also receive a fresh vegetable and Market Street’s cherries jubilee.
Magnolia’s at 4 Queens: Available from 4 pm-midnight daily, Magnolia’s offers a slow-roasted, 10 oz. prime rib for $29.99. The meal comes with your choice of potato, a vegetable of the day, and dinner rolls upon request.
Magnolia’s has been slow roasting prime rib since 1966, so they probs know what they’re doing.

Off the Beaten Path
Jerry’s Nugget: Jerry’s Famous Coffee Shop serves an 8-10 oz. English Cut Prime Rib offered for $22.99 and a 28-30 oz. Thick Cut Prime Rib for $46.99. Prime Rib options at Jerry’s are served with rice, a choice of potato, and soup or salad.
The Brass Fork at Palace Station: Available nightly from 4-10 pm, English-cut prime rib will set you back $25.99 and is served with a choice of potato, seasonal veggies, au jus, and horseradish.
Primarily Prime Rib: A restaurant at South Point specializing in Prime Rib, a 10 oz. cut will set you back only $29.95 and comes with salad, potato, and veggies.
As you may expect from a restaurant named after prime rib, elevated cuts & options are also available.
South Point is located well south and will require a taxi/rideshare ride from resorts on the Strip.
Garden Buffet at South Point: South Point’s Garden Buffet offers an affordable prime rib & champagne brunch for $37.95 ($32.95 for players club members) on Saturday & Sunday from 8 am-3 pm.
Prime Rib Dinner is offered Saturday – Thursday from 4-9 pm for $37.95 ($32.95 for players club members).

Although finding a cheap prime rib meal in Las Vegas is becoming more difficult by the day, there are still budget-friendly options and specials to take advantage of.

I’m a former software salesman turned Vegas aficionado. While the craps table is my preferred habitat, I pull myself away to explore new attractions, shows, restaurants, and outdoor activities around Las Vegas with the intent of sharing my experiences.
Ultimately, I just want to help folks plan a better trip and save a few bucks in the process.
