Golden Steer Las Vegas has served steaks since 1958, which makes it the city's oldest steakhouse by its own history page. The room sits at 308 West Sahara Avenue, west of the resort corridor. Red leather booths carry brass name plates for icons like Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe. The place runs on ritual, and this guide walks it table by booth.
The restaurant began as a small bar and dining room serving hunters. Old menus listed game, rattlesnakes and turtle soup. By 1965, headliners from the Sands crossed town for late dinners. The old corner is preserved today as the Rat Pack section.
What Golden Steer Las Vegas Does Best
The kitchen's strength is old technique done correctly. The famous Caesar salad is tossed tableside for 23 dollars per person, with a two person minimum. Bananas Foster and Cherries Jubilee flame tableside at 25 dollars each.
The dining room adds the rest. The walls stayed through a larger Victorian bar in the seventies and a nineties redecor. The ambiance page keeps the phrase Old Las Vegas, and the room earns it nightly. This connects to our earlier piece, The Best Restaurants in Las Vegas, Sorted by Occasion and Budget.
A Menu With Real Prices
Golden Steer Las Vegas posts its full card online. Steaks list plainly on the official menu. The eight ounce petite filet lists at 76 dollars, and the twelve ounce Aristocrat filet at 98. A sixteen ounce New York cut lists at 81, and the bone-in ribeye at 112. Prime rib runs 84 for the English cut and 112 for the 20 ounce Diamond Lil.
Big tables scale up. The 45 ounce tomahawk for two lists at 295 dollars, the 50 ounce porterhouse at 265, and the Australian wagyu with lobster tail at 325. Sides run 16 to 19 dollars, led by the house's famously large 17 dollar baked potato. Starters run from 30 dollar oysters to a 32 dollar crab cake and a 40 dollar bone marrow. Kaluga caviar lists at 210 dollars for 30 grams.
The Booths and the Regulars
The booth system is the show. Sinatra and Elvis Presley dined here, and the plates on the booths say so. The Rat Pack section holds the old corner. The 1980s brought quieter regulars. A Chicago figure held dinners here with his lawyer, a story the history page tells plainly.
Desserts close cheap. Double Chocolate Lava Cake lists at 14 dollars, Key Lime Pie matches it, and Italian Bomboloni runs 12. Ownership changed in 2001, when the Signorelli family bought the house. The current generation runs it today, along with the newer Armory and Gambler's Den spaces. The core room never moved. The house closed briefly during the pandemic, its first closure in 65 years, and shipped steak boxes nationwide.
Hours, Dress and the Rules of the Room
The doors open at 4:30 p.m., seven days a week, with last seating at 9:45 p.m. The house closes Christmas Day and the day after. Dress runs smart casual, and the page bans beachwear, ball caps and sleeveless shirts.
The seating rules matter. The full party must be present to sit, with a 15 minute grace period. Groups should note that rule before booking. Cancellations inside 24 hours and no shows draw 25 dollars per person. Corkage runs 75 dollars a bottle.
Conclusion: Order the Caesar, Keep the Night Slow
Golden Steer Las Vegas delivers the version of the city that predates the towers. The steaks cost real money, the booths hold real ghosts, and the tableside service forces a slower clock. Dinner here is a two hour commitment, and it pays one back.
One planning tip: reserve the Rat Pack section when booking, and order the tableside Caesar for the full table. Both moves need a phone call or a note, and both define the night.
