Chef/Partner James Trees has announced the opening of reservations for High Steaks Vegas, a modern steakhouse concept coming to the top of the Masquerade Tower at Rio Las Vegas.

Reservations will be accepted beginning Oct. 14 for dining at the restaurant, which will be open from 5-11 p.m. daily. To reserve a table at High Steaks Vegas, visit OpenTable.com/r/high-steaks-vegas. For parties of 12 or more, contact events@highsteaks.vegas.

Along with 180-degree indoor and outdoor views of the Las Vegas Strip and Las Vegas Valley, High Steaks Vegas will emphasize a fresh approach to the classic Las Vegas steakhouse, offering beef ranch partnerships, game meats, market-driven fish and vegetables, seafood towers and classic cocktails. High Steaks Vegas will offer 240 seats, each with incomparable views. 

With five acclaimed restaurants across the Las Vegas Valley, Trees is widely regarded as the city’s most celebrated native chef. A James Beard Award finalist for Best Chef Southwest and recipient of the Key to the City of Las Vegas, Trees is best known for Esther’s Kitchen – his flagship Italian restaurant in The Arts District in Downtown Las Vegas that’s earned local and global praise.

Trees’ portfolio also includes Al Solito Posto and Ada’s Food & Wine in Tivoli Village, as well as Bar Boheme and Petite Boheme in The Arts District. Trees brings decades of experience, having worked under culinary legends including Eric Ripert, Gordon Ramsay, Michael Mina and more.

“Our goal with High Steaks Vegas is to revive the classic steakhouse experience while modernizing it and showing off the incredible view,” Trees said. “We’ll have baller steaks for sure, but also some value options for our local friends. We like to say this is the Vegas you were promised.”
