Taylor Sheridan’s 6666 Ranch Pop-Up at Wynn Las Vegas: A Must-Try for Yellowstone Fans

Yellowstone's famous real world Ranch the Four Sixes Ranch brings it's world class steaks to Las Vegas. Taylor Sheridan's TV empire has come to Vegas in the form of a Las Vegas Steakhouse pop-up at Wynn Las Vegas.

If you’re a fan of Taylor Sheridan’s iconic TV shows like Yellowstone, 1883, or 1923, you’re already familiar with his unapologetic love for the Wild West. But what if you could taste that frontier spirit at one of the swankiest places on the Vegas Strip? Welcome to the brand-new 6666 Ranch Pop-Up at Wynn Las Vegas, where Sheridan brings the best beef from his historic Four Sixes Ranch (known as 6666) straight to your plate. This is not just a meal; it's a cowboy experience right in the heart of the glitz and glamor of Vegas.The pop-up is in the space occupied by Tableau at Wynn Las Vegas near the Wynn Tower Suites Elevators. Tableau is transformed nightly into Four Sixes Steakhouse. The decor changes from bright and fun brunch colors to darker tones, giving more candlelight dinner on the Ranch.

From the Ranch to the Strip: The Concept

For those who may not know, the Four Sixes Ranch is a legendary cattle empire that spans over 260,000 acres in Texas. Taylor Sheridan, a man who has brought the rugged Western lifestyle to TV screens through his hit shows (Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, and Mayor of Kingstown), is now giving foodies a chance to savor that same ranch-to-table authenticity. At the Wynn’s 6666 Ranch Pop-Up, you can experience beef raised on Sheridan’s land, an authentic taste of the American West.

This unique "ranch to Vegas" concept is the perfect blend of luxury and rustic simplicity. Sheridan took his Yellowstone ethos—tough, bold, and undeniably appealing—and created a menu that matches his storytelling. Taylor has always wanted to open a restaurant where he could feature the best of his ranch. SW Steakhouse currently showcases a couple of cuts from the Four Sixes Ranch. This new concept would bring fans of the Sheridan-verse straight to the Yellowstone dinner table.

Steak Highlights: A Cowboy’s Cut Above the Rest

When it comes to the menu, it’s all about the beef. Sheridan’s 6666 Ranch is known for raising some of the best cattle in the country, and the pop-up is showcasing cuts that will make any steak lover swoon. The stars of the show? Taylor's Cut and the Filet Mignon. Both steaks come straight from Sheridan's ranch and are cooked to perfection. If you’re a fan of Rip Wheeler’s no-nonsense attitude on Yellowstone, then Taylor’s Cut is for you—a hearty, flavorful steak that pulls no punches.

The Filet Mignon, on the other hand, is like Beth Dutton—smooth, refined, and just a little dangerous. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, this filet is perfect for anyone who prefers more finesse with their bite.

We would be wrong not to discuss the Prime Steak Tartare. A beautiful dish made with pasture-raised egg yolk, shallots, and roasted Serrano peppers and served with house-made Texas corn tostadas, this tartare is a revelation. The quality of the beef shines through in every bite—tender, fresh, and full of robust flavor that only top-tier cattle can offer. The richness of the egg yolk adds a velvety smoothness, while the shallots and roasted Serrano peppers bring just the right amount of sharpness and heat to balance it out.

But the real star here is the Texas corn tostadas, offering a satisfying crunch that contrasts perfectly with the silky tartare. These tostadas aren't your average chips; they're freshly made in-house and give the dish an authentic Southwestern flair, connecting back to the ranching roots of the 6666 Ranch. It’s like a nod to the land itself, paying homage to Texas's hearty, unpretentious flavors.

Sides That Pack a Punch: Texas Twinkie and Refried Lima Beans

Of course, no meal would be complete without the perfect sides, and the 6666 Ranch Pop-Up delivers in spades. You’ll want to start with the Texas Twinkie, a decadent, bacon-wrapped jalapeño stuffed with brisket and cheese. It’s got that perfect balance of smoky, spicy, and savory, much like the drama on 1883. One bite, and you’ll be hooked.

The Refried Lima Beans offer a surprising twist—this is no ordinary bean dish. Refried to crispy perfection, it’s a side that packs a flavorful punch, making it the perfect companion to your steak. It’s hearty, earthy, and straight-up delicious—just like the cowboy lifestyle Sheridan portrays on-screen.
