The year is 1960 at The Golden Steer Steakhouse in Las Vegas when drinks were flowing, money was flying and mob families were very prevalent in this desert gem. All of the most powerful families would escape their East Coast fortresses and come to stay at their favorite casinos, and of course, dine at their favorite restaurants.
Mobsters were notorious for their epicurean lifestyle of the finest furs, the flashiest cars, and the most lavish homes. Hotels and restaurants on the Vegas Strip were trained to know the exact specifications and preferences of each family.
Maitre D’s always ensured that their private rooms were set up just the way the respective families liked it when they were in town. You may wonder, how would they know who might darken their doors during dinner service? Poker chips.
If you looked closely enough in the local newspaper you would find a hidden poker chip that was a signal to which Mob family was in town. This alerted all hospitality professionals to start airing out the family’s respective wine and ensure their private rooms were set up just right.
After years of going to Las Vegas we tried the Golden Steer for the first time. The exact place we have been looking for. The old Vegas fantastic service and excellent food. We were able to reserve the Frank Sinatra booth for my wife’s birthday. A full team of professionals taking care of our every need. The best steak and lobster we have ever had. Large portions of food no way of leaving without being completely satisfied. Thanks for a very special night to remember and a step back into the glory years. We will definitely be back.
Incredible experience. Beautifully prepared aged beef and seafood. This was my first time but will not be my last! Thank you
Absolutely incredible. We have never eaten strip so tender. Combined with the lobster tail and you can’t wait to come back.
My Wife and I celebrated our 20 year anniversary this year. We ate at the Golden Steer for the first time and it was Amazing!! The specialty drinks were top shelf! My wife had the pretty lady and I had the sunrise. Salads made fresh at your table. Our appetizer was excellent, we has the escargot. You must get the Tomahawk Ribeye! Carlos and Ali plus the rest of the staff were 5 stars!! We will definitely be coming back next time we are in Vegas!!
