The steakhouse of the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino, Embers simulates fine dining for budget-minded Las Vegas visitors, providing the refined atmosphere without the correspondingly steep prices. Steaks and choice meats such as milk-fed veal, rack of lamb, and prime rib dominate the menu, although some creative seafood (macadamia nut orange roughy) and poultry (Long Island duck roast) makes an appearance. Candlelight and oil paintings set a gracious tone for dinner, after which the affordable-by-steakhouse-standards tab is a welcome surprise.
