The 38 Best Restaurants in Las Vegas | Eater Vegas

"In a city still teeming with the legacy of Old Vegas’s glory days, Golden Steer Steakhouse is rife with history, having once served Vegas royalty such as Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Elvis. Scenes from the movie Casino are said to be recreations of conversations that happened within the restaurant’s wood-paneled walls and red leather booths. The Golden Steer was established in 1958 and expanded its space in 2023. The menu is all classic steakhouse, with thick cuts of porterhouse, rib-eye, or tomahawk with gravy boats of jus, what’s perhaps the largest baked potato in Vegas, and jumbo western Australian lobster tail elaborately plated on its red shell and slathered in melted butter. —Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Know before you go: Rumor has it that Venko has made the tableside salad more than a million times in his decades-long tenure." - Matthew Kang
