Prime Rib is a staple of the Las Vegas culinary scene and has historically been used as a loss leader by casinos to draw the gambling public in.
Unfortunately, over the years, cheap prime rib in Las Vegas has become more difficult to find, often relegated to inexpensive buffets, or restaurants away from the Strip and Fremont Street.
I thought it would be helpful to compile and maintain a list of prime rib deals and specials in Las Vegas to help you get your fix at an affordable price point.
Keep in mind that this isn’t a rundown of the “best” or highest quality prime rib, rather, options that won’t break the bank.
Quick note: Menus and pricing can change at a moment’s notice. While I plan to frequently update this post, I’ll also link out to each restaurant so that you can double-check the prime rib special before making the trip.
On the Strip
Ellis Island: While not located directly on the Strip, Ellis Island is only a short walk behind Horseshoe and offers a cheap 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
Tony Roma’s at Fremont: Tony Roma’s offers a $10.99 prime rib special that’s served from 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm daily. The meal comes with a baked potato and vegetables and ranks among the best prime rib deals in Las Vegas from a value standpoint.
I recently swung in to try it and thought it was awesome for the price.
Market Street Cafe at California: For $19.99, Market Street serves up the “Cal Cut Prime Rib” which they label as the “Juiciest Prime Rib in Town”.
The meal comes with a house salad, and choice of steamed rice, baked potato, mashed potatoes, or fries. Guests will also receive a fresh vegetable and Market Street’s cherries jubilee.
Siegel’s 1941 at El Cortez: The 24/7 prime rib special at Siegel’s 1941 provides a prime rib meal complete with veggies and a baked potato for only $19.95.
Magnolia’s at 4 Queens: Available from 4 pm-midnight daily, Magnolia’s offers a slow-roasted, 10 oz. prime rib for $25.99. The meal is served with your choice of potato, vegetable of the day, and dinner rolls upon request.

Freedom Beat at Downtown Grand: While Freedom Beat’s Prime Rib typically costs $21, loyalty club members who accumulate 25 points using their Grand Rewards Player’s Club card qualify for the “Gambler’s Special”.
That special entitles you to the same meal for $14.99. If you plan to do some gambling anyway, this could be a great option.
Off the Beaten Path
Jerry’s Nugget: Located in North Las Vegas, the casino itself, and the neighborhood is unlikely to blow you away, but the prime rib at Jerry’s Famous Coffee Shop just might. Options include an 8-10 oz. English Cut Prime Rib offered for $22.99 and a 28-30 oz. Thick Cut Prime Rib which is $46.99. Prime Rib options at Jerry’s are served with rice, a choice of potato, and soup or salad.
Primarily Prime Rib: A restaurant at South Point specializing in Prime Rib, a 10 oz. cut will set you back only $25.95 and comes with salad, potato, and veggies. South Point is located south of Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip 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 dinner Saturday through Thursday from 4 pm – 9 pm for $27.95. Note that you must be a member of the loyalty program to obtain the deal, so sign up. Non-members pay $30.95.
A prime rib brunch is also offered on Saturdays and Sundays that includes bottomless mimosas for the same price.

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.
Hopefully, I was able to assist you in finding a chunk of meat that meets your needs!

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.
