Steak is useful for exercising incisors, muffling trumpets, and reducing swelling from black eyes caused by trying to eat steak with one's eye. Put steak to its prototypical use with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of steaks, seafood, and drinks at The Charcoal Room located in Northwest Las Vegas in the Santa Fe Station Hotel and Casino.

The Charcoal Room features top-grade cuts of meat, an extensive wine list, and fresh fish daily. The atmosphere is equal parts fine-dining class and low-key relaxation, like a news anchor whose desk is concealing a pair of sateen parachute pants. Peruse the menu to discover substantial steaks such as the pan-seared bone-in rib eye (22 oz., $32) and petite cuts such as the filet mignon (7 oz., $28). Classic salad styles such as the wedge ($7) or Caesar ($7) are perennially in good taste, complementing meat with the finest of chlorophyll. The boneless baby-back ribs ($10) and lobster mac 'n' cheese ($14) turn the traditionally difficult-to-eat into forkable fare. Since swords themselves always return from the grill too hot to eat, swordfish ($32) makes for a blade-inspired meal not forged by a sweaty blacksmith. Collect a cartel of iron-eaters who prefer their steak prepared on top of more steak and request a corner booth facing the door at The Charcoal Room.

This Groupon is not valid for happy hour or on holidays.

The Charcoal Room gets a 4.5-star average rating from seven Yelpers with more than 50 OpenTablers giving it a 4.4-star average and Gayot rating it a 14/20:

• Freshly baked rosemary ciabatta, sesame- and poppy seed-coated sourdough bread sticks and focaccia topped with tomato bits are presented in a rustic basket. Order a glass of wine from the extensive wine list and your server will pour it with a flourish from an individual carafe, a classy touch. – Gayot
• We have eaten at The Charcoal Room in the past and always found the service to be outstanding as was the food. – An OpenTable.com user who dined on 07/20/2010
