Suncoast may not be a regular spot for Las Vegas visitors, but locals like it, and the casino is making some moves.<\/p>\n

Suncoast is about 10 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip and is owned by Boyd Gaming<\/a>, the company that also runs Aliante, Orleans, Gold Coast, Sam’s Town, The Cal, Main Street and others.<\/p>\n

Boyd has big hopes for Suncoast, and is investing in the casino with the not-so-secret goal of stealing customers from another locals-focused company, Station Casinos. Here’s a look at the new William B’s Steakhouse, along with some other Suncoast scoop.<\/p>\n

\"\"
William B’s speaks our love language: Carbs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The “William B” in William B’s is William “Bill” Boyd, one of the co-founders of Boyd Gaming.<\/p>\n

Naturally, we were the first to share<\/a> Suncoast’s SC Prime would close, back in Oct. 2023. “SC” stood for “Suncoast,” which we are retroactively annoyed by, like whenever somebody uses “DTLV” for “Downtown Las Vegas.”<\/p>\n

William B’s Steakhouse is much more visible than SC Prime, and doesn’t feel like a locals casino restaurant, all due respect. William B’s is in the former Salvatore’s Italian Restaurant space.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Next to the oyster place. Not coincidentally, oyster bars do very well for Station Casinos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Normally, we’d be miffed that anything has taken the place of an Italian restaurant, but William B’s is outstanding, so bygones.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Even when they’re busy, you can hold a conversation without screaming. Huge selling point. The General Manager uses an iPad to control the volume in real time. We love that guy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There’s a bar that spans the width of the restaurant, serving the full menu, perfect for solo dining.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The newest watering hole at Suncoast. Top tip: Don’t order water, weirdo. It just dilutes the liquor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We haven’t been to William B’s for the full shebang yet, but the items we tasted on the lounge menu were fantastic.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Everything was really good, and we are a smidge picky.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We also had these sliders, the “Mini Filet Sandwiches.” The cheese was not, in fact, blue. Otherwise, these were delicious.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The truffle fries were also fleek, or possibly bomb.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The prices sit somewhere between a typical locals casino steakhouse and a Strip steakhouse. The closest comparison is T-Bones Chophouse at Red Rock.<\/p>\n

The steakhouse at Suncoast blows T-Bones away. T-Bones has lots of fans, we just aren’t one of them, as we are not into “mid.” “Mid” is how the kids say “meh,” btw. And “btw” is the way the kids say “by the way,” btw. Please keep up or we will be forced to call you a “peep” or “fam,” and nobody wants that.<\/p>\n

Here’s the Billy B’s menu. No, we would not call Bill Boyd “Billy” to his face.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Yes, the menu is on the Suncoast Web site, but we’d sort of like you to think we’re providing exclusive information, so just play along.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s the other half of the William B’s menu, which you can’t find anywhere else, especially on the Suncoast Web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We went back to William B’s for a media event, sampled quite a few menu items and all were top notch. Bonus: Tremendous banana cream pie, and we tend to be in the cake camp, not the pie camp.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The bartenders are awesome, and make some drinks with flair involving smoke. Others involve bubbles and smoke, made with a machine from England that costs $600.<\/p>\n
