Circa Resort & Casino’s premier steakhouse lands place amongst travelers’ favorites in 2022

Barry’s Downtown Prime, the luxe and secluded steakhouse at Circa Resort & Casino, has been recognized by Tripadvisor as a 2022 Travelers’ Choice award winner for its place among the top 10% of restaurants worldwide.

The award celebrates businesses that have received great traveler reviews from diners around the globe on Tripadvisor over the last 12 months.

The Travelers’ Choice awards honor select restaurants that consistently demonstrate a commitment to hospitality excellence, and Barry’s Downtown Prime stood out by its constant deliverance of positive experiences to diners.

“We are honored to have won such an esteemed award and thank our wonderful guests for their support and reviews,” said Chef Barry S. Dakake, owner and chef of Barry’s Downtown Prime. “We want to offer a top-notch experience the minute people enter our doors – from the atmosphere we’ve created to the dishes we serve. Our staff works tirelessly to bring Barry’s to life every night, and we are proud of their passion and hard work in bringing this recognition to our restaurant.”

Dreamed up by Make It Happen Hospitality – consisting of Chef Dakake, Yassine Lyoubi, Marco Cicione and Donnie Rihn – Barry’s Downtown Prime is defined by vintage glamour, outstanding service and Chef Dakake’s signature cuisine. One of the largest restaurants in the city, Barry’s brings the classic Las Vegas Steakhouse atmosphere to Fremont Street Experience, where modern innovation and design come together to deliver the city’s finest steaks and seafood, fresh tableside preparation and creative cocktails.

“Congratulations to the 2022 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Winners,” said Kanika Soni, Chief Commercial Officer at Tripadvisor. “The Travelers’ Choice Awards recognize the best in tourism and hospitality, according to those who matter most: your guests. Ranking among the Travelers’ Choice winners is always tough — but never more so than this year as we emerge from the pandemic. Whether it’s using new technology, implementing safety measures, or hiring outstanding staff, I’m impressed by the steps you’ve taken to meet travelers’ new demands. You’ve adapted brilliantly in the face of adversity.”

Featuring photo-worthy tableside presentations, steakhouse staples, an elevated vegan menu and well-crafted cocktails, Barry’s Downtown Prime’s menu includes a range of offerings that showcase Chef Barry’s undeniable creativity. Guests can start their meal with appetizers such as the Fettuccini Alfredo Bone Marrow Luge made with Parmesan Reggiano, Truffle Butter and a shot of Madeira wine poured down the bone for a unique epicurean experience. A choice favorite among diners, guests can take the shot of Madeira once the bone marrow is mixed into the pasta.

For the main course, diners can continue with menu highlights such as Barry’s Steak, the restaurant’s signature cut – a 12-ounce Rib Cap meticulously roasted over fruitwood and 900-degree coals. Noteworthy cocktails include the BDTP Old Fashioned, prepared with rye whiskey, ginger and cherry bitters, cinnamon spice chocolate syrup and garnished with shaved chocolate and brandied cherries.

Barry’s layout is designed for flexibility, providing options for groups from eight to 350 people. This ranges from playful entertainment areas with live performances, to intimate booth seating under a beautiful olive tree. Boasting more than 3,200 square feet of private and semi-private spaces, groups can dine in a collection of multi-functional dining rooms such as The Pioneer Club that can be booked as a cocktail and passed hors d’oeuvres area; The Sultan’s Table that has an alluring meat window display; and The Garden Room, centered around a lush olive tree with glimmering lights in an enclosed section of the main dining room.
