SW Steakhouse Las Vegas Menu: What to Order

SW Steakhouse plates dinner against the Lake of Dreams, the 90-foot waterfall show at the Wynn on 3131 Las Vegas Blvd S. Opened under chef David Walzog to a Forbes Four-Star rating and run since 2021 by head chef Mark LoRusso, it is a prime-beef room where the menu splits cleanly: American steakhouse cuts you order by the ounce, and Japanese A5 Wagyu you order by the gram. Book the patio for the show and order to your budget.

The Signature Cuts

The house signature is the chile-rubbed double-cut rib eye for two at $168, its spice crust grilled over mesquite until the marbled interior gives way — the plate most tables come for. Its rival is the dry-aged bone-in tomahawk, 32 ounces at $145, carved tableside for the theatre. Both are built to share and to time with the waterfall show outside. Our SW Steakhouse review ranks it among the strongest steak rooms on the Strip.

The A5 Wagyu Order

SW’s trump card is access: it is the only US restaurant sourcing Watanabe Farm Yonezawa Oguni beef from Yamagata Prefecture, and its Japanese Wagyu is all A5 with a marble score of 8 to 12, available as tenderloin, ribeye loin and rib cap. This is where the bill can climb — Japanese Wagyu and Kobe run $200 to $400 for a four-ounce portion, ordered as a small, rich supplement to a shared American cut rather than a main in itself. Non-steak entrees sit at a more grounded $45 to $100. For the show timing and best seating, see our guide on how to book SW Steakhouse.

How to Build the Table

The way to eat well here is to share big and supplement small: the $168 chile-rubbed rib eye or the $145 tomahawk anchors the table, sides run family-style, and a single four-ounce cut of A5 Wagyu goes round as a taste rather than a plate each. That keeps a celebration dinner memorable without letting the Wagyu run the bill alone. With the waterfall show and the Wynn setting, SW is a birthday-and-milestone room, which is why it anchors our birthday list and the Las Vegas entries on the steakhouse guide.

Not for a quiet, budget-minded dinner — SW is a see-and-be-seen Strip room where the show is loud, the Wagyu runs $200 to $400 for four ounces, and the signature cuts are built to share.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should you order at SW Steakhouse in Las Vegas?

The two orders that define the room are the chile-rubbed double-cut rib eye for two at $168 and the dry-aged bone-in tomahawk, 32 ounces at $145, carved tableside. Both are built to share while you watch the Lake of Dreams show. If you want to taste the restaurant's exclusive A5 Wagyu, add a single four-ounce cut as a supplement, priced $200 to $400, rather than as a full main. Run sides family-style.

How much is the Wagyu at SW Steakhouse?

SW Steakhouse's Japanese Wagyu and Kobe are the most expensive items on the menu, running $200 to $400 for a four-ounce portion. The beef is all A5 with a marble score of 8 to 12, and SW is the only US restaurant with access to Watanabe Farm Yonezawa Oguni beef from Yamagata Prefecture. Because it is so rich, most tables order one small cut to share as a taste alongside an American steak rather than a full portion each.

What is the signature dish at SW Steakhouse?

The chile-rubbed double-cut rib eye for two, at $168, is the house signature: a mesquite-grilled cut whose spice crust gives way to marbled tenderness, ordered to share. The dry-aged 32-ounce bone-in tomahawk at $145, carved tableside, is the other showpiece. Both are designed to be eaten across the table while the Wynn's 90-foot waterfall show runs outside, which is as much the point of SW as the beef itself.

Does SW Steakhouse have a view of the Lake of Dreams show?

Yes; SW Steakhouse sits lakeside at the Wynn overlooking the Lake of Dreams, the 90-foot waterfall and light show, and the patio tables are timed around it. If the show is part of why you are booking, request patio or lakeside seating when you reserve, because interior tables do not get the same view. The show runs on a set schedule through the evening. See our guide on how to book SW Steakhouse for the best seating and timing.
