CUT is a good restaurant, but it's not one of those super-exclusive places where you're considered gauche if you ask what something costs.

CUT has a menu with prices for everything, and this Lobster Mac was just a special dish they made for likely high rollers who wanted it and probably had the comps to pay for it.

You are a chump if you just order something like that, don't ask the price, and just pay whatever they charge you.

I even think it's possible that they would have sold it for less than $108 if requested, and that's just what they bill the casino for some whale's comps.
I have been to CUT, I was not overwhelmed. It was good and all, but I did not leave there thinking I was at Smith and Wollensky in Manhattan. I just felt like I was around some regular people and I know for a fact I was around people from Kansas as some dude was decked in Jayhawk gear. Nobody seemed intimidated asking the cost of an appetizer.
