Rare Society Lands in Las Vegas With Fat-Washed Cocktails and Fire-Kissed Steaks

San Diego's retro-swanky steakhouse Rare Society makes its Nevada debut Wednesday, July 2, opening in southwest Las Vegas with Rat Pack-inspired swagger, in-house butchered steaks and wagyu tomahawks served exclusively at the new location. The Southern Californian steakhouse from chef Brad Wise and Trust Restaurant Group draws on Wise's live-fire approach to classic chophouse fare. It's earned a following for its Santa Maria ranchero-style grilling — meat seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic, seared over American red oak, then finished low and slow. The technique shines across wagyu steaks, Pacific swordfish, and flame-kissed vegetables, all smoked and charred over woodfire. In San Diego, Rare Society is known for its dramatic steak boards — 53 ounces of dry-aged cuts arranged on custom-designed lazy Susans and served with bearnaise, horseradish, and buttery bone marrow. Other standout cuts include 40-day dry-aged bone-in New York strips and 'bullseye' rib-eyes, Wise's term for the ideal balance of weight and marbling in a rib-eye steak. Beyond beef, Rare Society leans into seafood: broiled oysters with yuzu arugula butter and crispy capers, creamy lobster mashed potatoes, and $275 seafood towers overflowing with crab, ahi tartare, and a whole Maine lobster. Dessert looks like bananas Foster cheesecake with an espresso martini. At its new home in the Uncommons shopping and dining area, Wise includes items unique to Las Vegas, like Alaskan king crab and a richly marbled Snake River Farms wagyu tomahawk. The cocktail menu is similarly carnivorous, featuring Old Fashioneds made with dry-aged, fat-washed bourbon, rosemary oleo, bitters, and a lardo garnish. Rare Society spans 5,000 square feet at 6880 Helen Toland Street, Suite 100, with seating for 160. The design channels classic Vegas steakhouse glam: dark woods, hand-stitched leather, and gleaming black stone details, warmed by layered lighting, mirrors, and polished metal accents. With award recognition for his San Diego restaurants Trust and Fort Oak, Wise brings serious culinary pedigree to Las Vegas. Rare Society joins a growing list of buzzy openings at UnCommons, alongside Amari Italian Kitchen, All'Antico Vinaio, and the upcoming Hawaiian food hall that will replace the closed Sundry food hall next year. Rare Society is located at 6880 Helen Toland Street, Suite 100; open from 5 p.m. to close Wednesday through Sunday. Reservations can be made on OpenTable . See More: Vegas Restaurant Openings
