STK Steakhouse

STK Steakhouse at the Cosmopolitan does modern steakhouse with a DJ, which is very Vegas and somehow works. The happy hour is legitimately good: 2:30-5:30pm daily, 7 items for $7, half-off cocktails. That's not a typo—you're getting $7 food and half-price drinks at a trendy Cosmo steakhouse. It's one of the best Strip happy hour deals that nobody seems to know about.

The Happy Hour Lowdown

Daily 2:30-5:30pm. The deal is simple and excellent: 7 select items for $7 each (food) plus half-off cocktails. That's three hours, every day, including weekends. The $7 items rotate but expect sliders, tacos, small plates—actual steakhouse-quality food, not trash. The half-off cocktails bring their normally $18-20 drinks down to $9-10. This is absurd value for the Cosmopolitan.

Why You're Actually Here

The combination of value, quality, and location. STK is a legit steakhouse—good food, proper cocktails, beautiful space. During happy hour you're accessing that world at prices that won't wreck your trip budget. The $7 items are actually filling; order three and you've had lunch for $21. The cocktails are craft-level, not well drinks. You're at the Cosmopolitan, which is peak Strip energy, getting off-Strip pricing.

The Vibe Check

Modern steakhouse meets lounge. There's a DJ (yes, at a steakhouse), mood lighting, beautiful people, Cosmo energy. It's upscale without being stuffy—business casual works, but you'll see plenty of people dressed up. The crowd during happy hour is Cosmo guests, locals who know the deal, couples on date night. It's social and lively, music at conversation-friendly levels during early happy hour.

Real Talk

The DJ gets louder as night approaches, so early happy hour (2:30-4pm) is more chill. Full dinner is expensive ($50+ steaks), so happy hour is your value entry point. The $7 items are legitimately good but not massive portions—order multiple. Service is professional and friendly. It gets busier as happy hour progresses, especially on weekends.

Pro Tips

Go early (2:30-3pm) to snag good seating and beat the rush. Order multiple $7 items and split—you'll try more for less. The half-off cocktails are the real move; their mixology program is solid. This pairs perfectly with Cosmo pool hangs or exploring the property. Solo travelers can grab bar seats. Combine this with other Cosmo happy hours (Jaleo) for maximum efficiency.
