Mavens Overview
Legends Steak and Seafood is located in the Tropicana, at the very south end of the Strip. The Tropicana is one of the oldest hotels still standing on the Strip, and is down-market compared to the neighboring Hotels, particularly Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand. Hence, the expectations of diners at Legends Steak and Seafood, are substantially lower than they would be at one of the high-end Steakhouses on the Strip. This is reflected in the Internet Buzz, excerpted below.
Legends is offering a four course Prix fixe, including wine, for $34.99, which would barely cover an entree at most of the other Strip steakhouses.

Slightly expensive. Quiet atmosphere but people bring their kids too. This place would have been romantic if kids didn't eat there, but we were seated at this booth in the corner so we had our privacy. Small cozy place.
It wasn't bad. If you want lobster, they have 2 tails for $19.95, which is what I had. They were average size and tasty. A good deal for Vegas.
So we got a 100 dollar food credit to this steakhouse while staying at the trop. Otherwise, we might not have ever set foot in this place. You just don't think "nice steak dinner" and also think Tropicana, but that's actually a mistake. Once we got beyond the host desk all of a sudden the decor looked nice and modern and elegant, and we were in a fancy pants restaurant. We didn't expect that at all!
My husband got the prime rib and crab legs and had nothing but awesome things to say about both - as well as the horseradish that came with. The service was excellent and it was a great and intimate meal that I thoroughly enjoyed. It wasn't the best food I'd ever had, but it was definitely a high point of the trip!
I don't think many of the servers knew the food that was being served. I asked for a recommendation and got a "Everything is good" response. We asked how much the drinks we ordered and we got a " Don't worry about it" response. After getting the drinks we lost our server for about 20 minutes.
I got the Chilean sea bass spicy succotash and it was pretty damn good. They served some sort of bread/quiche thing before the meal which wasn't very good, I would recommend just some natural bread with olive oil/vinegar. Very good and friendly service and nice ambiance.
If you're in the mood for a fair steak, here's the place. Service is not up to the standard of a gourmet room, but nothing at the Tropicana is.
