We love you, Dad, just not as much as Mom. Just kidding — of course we love you as much as Mom. More, maybe — let’s prove it with a guide to just a few of the good things kids can treat the old man to this Father’s Day, which officially occurs on Sunday.
Off the Strip dining
• Andre’s Bistro & Bar Now, unless you’re British, you may not be too familiar with afternoon tea, but it’s a tradition that ex-pats like to indulge in when they find a place.

Limited seating, make reservations at AndresBistroandBar.com

• Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse Las Vegas The popular chain offers two specials on Father’s Day — 16-ounce prime rib for $45 (20-ounce for $55), or the Double Eagle Steak, a dry-aged bone-in ribeye that measures up at 3 inches high for $125. 3925 Paradise Road, (702) 796-0063

On the Strip dining
