The prime aged beef programme whose specific preparation communicates the accumulated knowledge of what the classic American steakhouse tradition requires; the retro Las Vegas interior whose preservation communicates a restaurant that has chosen authentic institutional continuity over contemporary renovation; and the specific Rat Pack and Elvis Presley associations whose accumulated cultural mythology communicates that this is where the Las Vegas that the world still imagines was built.
