BLT and Sterling Brunch are history.

According to LV Advisor, BLT and the Sterling Brunch are gone.
VegasChanges writes, "Workers at Bally’s removed all signage and placed construction drapes in front of the restaurant. BLT Steak and the Sterling Brunch have been removed from the Bally’s website. Caesars Entertainment has not confirmed permanent closure, but several employees have stated so."

 

Sad, but not unexpected. Also, to me at least, the Sterling Buffet, while still good, had slipped in quality. Additionally, the price kept increasing by leaps and bounds. I think it was something like $120 head (plus tax and tip before they closed). There is no telling what the new price structure would have been had they opened again, considering what other restaurants have charged since COVID.

 

Sigh. I think we all saw this coming, but still disappointing. Sterling Brunch is one of those spots I repeatedly tried to go to, but could never make it work.

I don't put much stock in what the staff are saying, in general, but removing the signage is a big... um... sign (pun originally unintended).

 

i wont miss it. Replace it with a popover stand as that is what they did well

 

Really feels like they're trying to empty out Bally's.

 

Thank you ELDO!
no one is shocked or surprised.

 

I received this email from marketing after the post stay feedback I provided. Needless to say, the stay and experience wasn’t great. But, the email offers some semblance of a plan for Ballys.

Oh well, gotta wait for the caviar bar to open to get my caviar fix . . . . or stick to salmon and flying fish eggs at Sakana!!!!

 

BLT and Sterling Brunch never reopened so the only surprising thing is they haven’t confirmed anything at this point. Sounds like someone is collecting government money as long as they can.

Bally’s has new food offerings coming in 2022 (outside, at Paris, and the food court). I’m joking. Unless they say Bally’s isn’t going to be sold why would anyone want to commit to a new restaurant? Or wait until that settles and they know what the new owners are going to do. Maybe Blake knows something we don’t.

If it is staying with Caesars, my money is on a Bobby’s Burger and Gordon Ramsey Fish and Chips.

 

I ate there once back in the day using a travelzoo coupon and enjoyed it. Staff was competent and understood the coupon rules and restrictions. They gave us free glasses of champagne for our anniversary which was not part of the coupon offer.

 

As a Diamond player the head chef would visit the table with complimentary apps. I will miss BLT.

As for the future maybe they need more room for WSOP Tables.

 

We had the exact same experience. Champagne for our anniversary, Travelzoo coupon. The service was good and the meal was good, not outstanding.

We are staying at Bally's next month and also have a lot of TR credits to burn, I guess we will have to go off property to do so. Do Giada's and GR Steak accept TR credits?

 

That Shelton restaurant sounds huge.
Found a rendering in the article below.
Hopefully they will tear out the Bally's sign and a big chunk of the Bazzar mess on that corner.
Not sure how this will compare. Hope they don't put "Ole Red" above every window like the rendering, that looks a bit ridiculous.


"Ole Red Las Vegas will hold 686 people seated, with a 27,000 square-foot footprint."

Glad I got to try it once.
Caesar's was still better, IMO.

 

I have used Reward Credits at GR Steak (at a 1:1 ratio).

 

Ok. I read the response 2x. He seems a vet. He really didn’t answer anything but my feeling is you will be able to verify offers in the restaurant.
He seemed to be answering both concerns with a bit of news….. He’s found a comfortable home behind a keyboard.

 

I ate at Sterling Brunch several years ago and never would go back. The lobster was mushy which indicates to me that it was frozen looooong ago. I ate at the bar and the service of the bartenders was good including frequent pours of veuve clicquot champagne but I heard it was switched out for a cheaper brand before it was permanently closed.

I did like the popovers at BLT and the restaurant was a decent value. But there are plenty of good steakhouses in Vegas.

 

We go back many, many years as customers at Sterling. We knew all the waiters by name and they knew us.

We had not been in several years ---since the head waiter retired and it went way downhill while the price went way up....so not something that we will miss, but it is one more great LV memory.

 

I stayed 2 nights at Bally's a few weeks ago and it was disappointing. The only place to eat in Bally's is the food court. That hallway between Bally's and Paris is pretty bad too. Many restaurants closed. The Paris bakeries are offering mostly prepackaged sandwiches and salads. Check in at Bally's is almost entirely kiosks - very few actual workers at the check-in desk. Long lines at the cashier always. I filled out the survey saying all this - didn't get any reply. Yep, that's what you pay the resort fee for!
