Atlantis Steakhouse

The Restaurant

Atlantis Steakhouse occupies a discreet upper-floor suite inside the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa on South Virginia Street, a few minutes south of downtown Reno and directly across from the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. The room is the most quietly accomplished steakhouse in Northern Nevada — about a hundred and twenty covers across a softly lit dining room of dark walnut panelling, leather banquettes, hand-painted Tuscan murals and a long marble bar facing the open exhibition kitchen. Forbes Travel Guide awarded the steakhouse Four-Star status in 2026, the property's first such recognition for the dining programme.

The cooking is American steakhouse executed with serious precision. The cuts list runs through 28-day dry-aged prime Angus from a small group of Midwestern family farms — a 12-ounce filet mignon, a 16-ounce New York strip, a 22-ounce bone-in ribeye, a 40-ounce Tomahawk for two — alongside one of the most ambitious Wagyu programmes in the American West. American Wagyu, A5 Japanese Wagyu imported from Kumamoto, and the rare Icon XB Wagyu from Tasmania are all available by the ounce. Beyond beef, the menu includes Maine lobster tail, day-boat halibut, a roasted Colorado lamb rack with rosemary-Dijon crust, and a tableside Caesar that has been on the menu since the room opened.

The wine cellar is the singular distinction: 1,720 bottles in inventory, 320 wines offered by the bottle and 40 by the glass, and the Wine Spectator Best Award of Excellence held for twenty-five consecutive years — a stretch matched by very few American steakhouses. The list runs serious depth in California Cabernet, real Bordeaux, Italian Brunello and a deep Champagne collection. The sommelier walks the floor through the evening, and the by-the-glass programme is large enough to anchor a full multi-course pairing without ever opening a bottle.
