Hank's Fine Steakhouse   

For years the pattern was set -- you went to the Strip for money-is-no-object fine dining and visited the neighborhood hotel-casinos for less distinguished fare at more moderate prices. Hank's Fine Steaks & Martinis breaks this longstanding rule with gusto; located in Henderson's Green Valley Ranch Resort, the classy chophouse can match it's Strip counterparts in quality of entrees, the elegance of its surroundings and its ability to draw a celebrity clientele. However, the prices match as well. Expect to pay north of $40 for one of the four steak selections -- two on the bone, two off -- and close to that for the veal, pork, chicken and Chateaubriand. Sides and salads and appetizers are, of course, extra. But the dry martinis and live piano music soften the tab's impact.
