STRIPSTEAK - Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV · Modern American steakhouse
Inside Mandalay Bay
Tier 3 · Menu claim only What the tiers mean
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
Michael Mina's STRIPSTEAK inside Mandalay Bay is a modern, wood-fired steakhouse where Wagyu anchors the beef program. The menu carries Japanese A5 Wagyu (tenderloin and ribeye) alongside American Wagyu cuts, including the chef's-favorite rib cap and a 14oz New York, plus a Wagyu steak tartare. Local coverage identified the Japanese A5 as Kagoshima, served butter-poached with red wine-shallot butter and finished over a wood-burning grill. Open nightly for dinner. Sourcing beyond the stated A5 grade isn't fully detailed on the current menu, but multiple Wagyu cuts make it clearly Wagyu-forward.

Common questions
- Does STRIPSTEAK - Las Vegas serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 16, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does STRIPSTEAK - Las Vegas serve?
- Its menu discloses American Wagyu (rib cap 8oz; New York 14oz) - producer not named on menu American Wagyu - breed % undisclosed and Kagoshima (per 2023 Las Vegas Weekly; current menu lists only 'Japanese A5 Wagyu') A5 (JMGA). Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is STRIPSTEAK - Las Vegas listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
