Why we recommend it
The Golden Steer Steakhouse is one of the oldest restaurants in Las Vegas, and a meal here is as much about the city's history as it is about the steak. It was founded in 1958, when the Strip was still young, and the restaurant proudly notes that Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. were among its regular customers. It describes itself as a place to celebrate vintage Las Vegas in style, following in the footsteps of Elvis and Sinatra.
The setting is the main draw. The Golden Steer has kept the look and feel of an old-school steakhouse, and it suits diners who want a traditional evening with attentive service rather than a modern tasting menu. Steaks are the focus, and the menu sticks to the steakhouse tradition rather than chasing trends. Ask your server for recommendations on cuts and preparations, and consider sharing sides, as steakhouse portions are traditionally generous.
The restaurant has four private dining rooms, each with its own theme: The Mob Room, The Western Lounge, The Gamblers Den and The Armory. They are popular for birthdays, business dinners and family celebrations, and booking one turns a meal into an occasion. Even if you are dining in the main room, the names give a sense of the playful Las Vegas history the restaurant leans into.
The Golden Steer suits couples, groups of friends and anyone who enjoys old Las Vegas. It is at the higher end of the price scale, so it works best as a special night out. Reservations are strongly recommended, as the restaurant is well known and tables go quickly, especially at weekends. Smart casual dress fits the mood. Check the website for current opening hours and booking options before you go.
The restaurant is on West Sahara Avenue, just west of the northern end of the Strip and a short taxi or ride-share from the resorts. It is a short drive from The STRAT, so you could pair dinner with a sunset visit to the observation deck. The success of the original has also led to a second Golden Steer in New York, but the Las Vegas restaurant remains the one with the history.
