LAS VEGAS – Morton’s The Steakhouse has “cooked up” a variety of gift ideas to show employees special appreciation on Administrative Professionals Day, April 23. Whether it’s an elegant dinner, a gift certificate or a signature Morton’s gift item from the online store, it’s sure to be the perfect gift.

“Morton’s is an excellent choice for any special occasion,” said Daniel Hurst, general manager of Morton’s The Steakhouse in Las Vegas. “The service, food quality and ambience make Morton’s a memorable experience, and your employees will know you chose the very best.”

For dinner, each table is presented with a loaf of onion-crusted bread that’s hard to pass up. Appetizers include Tuna Tartare, Maine Lobster Cocktail and Colossal Shrimp Cocktail. Choose from salads, such as Caesar, Spinach and Sliced Beefsteak Tomato.

Morton’s features USDA prime aged, Midwest grain-fed beef shipped directly from Chicago, along with fresh fish and seafood and hand-picked produce. Steak entrees include the Double Cut Filet Mignon, New York Strip Steak and Chicago Style Bone-In Ribeye Steak. Try the Domestic Double Rib Lamb Chops, Chicken Christopher, Sesame Encrusted Yellowfin Tuna and a host of other items.

Morton’s side dishes are served in generous portions and can easily be shared. Whether it’s Steamed Fresh Jumbo Asparagus, Sauteed Fresh Spinach & Mushrooms or French Fries (that’s one of the menu’s new additions), there’s something for every taste bud.

Everybody loves a happy ending, and Morton’s guarantees one with a sampling of decadent desserts. In addition to the delicious New York Cheesecake and Key Lime Pie, the restaurant prides itself on the popular Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake.

Don’t have time to take the administrative professional out for dinner? Give a Morton’s gift certificate in denominations from $50 and up, along with a special message. “Morton’s Steak Bible,” co-written by co-founder of Morton’s The Steakhouse Klaus Fritsch, is filled with colorful food displays and 100 never-before-published recipes.

The Ultimate Gift Set includes a black Morton’s apron, a copy of the “Morton’s Steak Bible” cookbook and two of the restaurant’s special seasonings. Morton’s boxed set of Stainless Steak Knives comes in sets of six or two. Also available is the Pewter Pig Lamp that has graced each table for 28 years. Beautifully cast in pewter, the lamp emanates a soft glow and is the perfect accent for the dining room or den.
