A restaurant called Wally's at Resorts World Casino in Las Vegas served a 60 ounce 190-day dry aged bone-in ribeye porterhouse steak for the whopping price of $20,000. It came with black truffle bordelaise sauce, Pommes Anna (potato cake thing), grilled broccolini, and freshly shaved black truffles. Apparently there was enough food involved to feed about 20 people.
No one actually randomly rolled into the place and ordered the steak. It was served to the Wally's company president and a handful of his friends. I can only imagine how much money they spent on wine to go with the meal. The restaurant has said that there is a limited amount of 200-day aged ribeyes for $1000 each. They are 50-60 ounces like the $20,000 one so I don't really know what the difference is.
I would NEVER pay $20,000 for a steak dinner for 5 or 6. I would NEVER pay $1000 for a steak dinner for myself. It is just so unnecessary.
Wally's at Resorts World Las Vegas served the pricey meal, a 60 oz. 195-day dry aged bone-in porterhouse ribeye from the Brooklyn butcher Fleishers Craft Butchery.

We ate at Mario Batali's restaurant Carnevino in Vegas several years ago. It had a huge dry-aging fridge and various ages of steaks. It was super expensive. We skipped an appetizer and pasta course. We went straight for the meat but even then we didn't go for the aged aged stuff. From what I've seen/read the well-aged gets a "funky" flavor to it like bleu cheese. Hey I can get a salad with bleu cheese for a lot less expense! 
The ribeye I had was delicious of course. I'm sure my ex went for the NY Strip as that is his favorite. I don't remember what our friend got.
That night after dinner the 2 of them decided to go check out Freemont Street ("old Vegas") and I stayed at the hotel. That delicious lardo appetizer (pork backfat whipped with fresh rosemary) on toasted bread didn't do me right. 
They were ziplining across Freemont and I was hanging out in the bathroom.1 person likes this

@NJChicaa Aging of beef, to me, brings out flavors that are wonderful. At least that has been my experience. I mean, Black Angus is really just a 21 day aged piece of meat. I'd go straight for the meat as well.
Never stayed on Fremont Street, but been there many, many times. My wife and I used to go to Vegas twice a year for years. Now I think it's been at least three years since the last time we were there.
We may be due for a trip. I actually like Vegas a lot.
Sorry you had to spend so much time in the loo. No fun at all on that one. At least you weren't puking up one of those 3 foot tall drinks. lol

@porwest I don't know what Black Angus is but I know that Angus beef is just a breed of cow. I've read from several meat experts over the years that it isn't worth the extra expense. . . at least for every day cooking.
I'm not a gambler (nor is my ex) and we didn't want to see any of the shows that were available so we pretty much just hung at the pool during the day and ate our faces off at night. I'd love to go back just for the restaurants!

I think the money those type of p people waste could be better served going back into the ecconomy.

I'd rather pay $100 and go to the lush steak and lobster buffet.
