kobe_beef_SUB_BIG.jpgOne-eyed gossip hound Norm Clarke dishes about the latest trend in Vegas dining: very, very expensive steaks. According to Norm, the days of the $20 steak “have gone the way of the $1.99 buffet” thanks to an influx of Kobe beef. At Shintaro, the Japanese eatery at Bellagio, where the 10-ounce Washugyu Kobe tenderloin is going for $190. Shintaro’s 12-ounce sirloin commands $170. At Bradley Ogden, the high-end restaurant at Caesars Palace, the 8-ounce Kobe steak goes for $175. Also, Craftsteak at the MGM Grand, offers a 10-ounce Kobe filet mignon price at $100. But they do offer one for people used to more sensible prices: a 14-ounce Kobe ribeye for $98.
