Longtime Las Vegas residents are very familiar with the name Barry S. Dakake. He’s one of the city’s preeminent chefs, known for years as the face and talent behind N9NE Steakhouse at the Palms (a huge celebrity hangout). That restaurant closed years ago, but Dakake has returned to the Vegas dining scene in a big way—at a new steakhouse at Circa Resort & Casino that bears his name.
Even though it’s only been open a few months, Barry’s Downtown Prime has quickly become a must-visit destination for downtown visitors. For starters, it just looks fantastic—from the exclusive-feeling entrance to the retro interior, this place exudes quality and comfort. If the Rat Pack was around today, you’d completely expect to see them here every night.
