Filet Mignon special, free party hitting downtown Las Vegas

Filet Mignon Day is Monday at Oscar’s

Oscar’s Steakhouse at the Plaza will celebrate Filet Mignon Day (which is Monday if your calendar isn’t already marked) by offering a pair of dinner specials that dispel any notion the tender cut may not be hearty enough for serious steak enthusiasts. Diners can choose from a 12-ounce filet stuffed with blue cheese or a filet mignon trio of three 4-ounce filets that are blackened, grilled with lobster bordelaise and bacon wrapped, respectively. Specials are $48 apiece. These are in addition to Joey C’s filet mignon, named after Joey Cusumano, a friend of reputed mob boss Tony Spilotro. oscarslv.com
