In this in-depth dining review, JacobslifeinVegas visits the iconic Golden Steer Steakhouse, just off the Las Vegas Strip, after waiting over four months for a reservation. Known as the oldest steakhouse in Las Vegas, Golden Steer boasts classic décor, rich history, and a reputation for prime, dry-aged beef. The atmosphere on a busy Monday night was lively yet comfortable, and the staff delivered top-tier service.
The video showcases appetizers like calamari and crab cake, both priced competitively but receiving mixed reviews. Jacob favored the calamari for its crispiness and value, while his guest preferred the crab cake’s freshness, though noted Hugo’s Cellar had a better version. The twice-baked potato was underwhelming, but the highlight was clearly the steaks — a 12 oz filet mignon and the famous 24 oz ribeye, both praised for tenderness, flavor, and quality.
Jacob’s filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare, buttery and tender, while his guest’s well-done ribeye still delivered rich, juicy flavor. The wine pairings elevated the meal, especially a Super Tuscan red that enhanced the mushrooms’ flavor. Overall, Jacob offers a nuanced but positive take, confirming that for steak lovers and Vegas history buffs, the Golden Steer may just be worth the wait.
