The popular Golden Steer Steakhouse in Las Vegas has been without its iconic cow statue since July, 2014, but now it’s back and more Vegas than ever.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
Let the useless trivia begin! Cattle were one of the first livestock animals to have a fully mapped genome.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Golden Steer Steakhouse opened in 1958, making it the oldest steakhouse in Las Vegas, and we’re pretty sure the restaurant’s gold cow statue has been around since day one.<\/p>\n

Last year, however, the plaster steer fell victim to a traffic altercation involving a lobster delivery truck.<\/p>\n

The struggle between surf and turf is real.<\/p>\n

Here’s the backstory<\/a>, expertly reported by, well, this Las Vegas blog. Trust us, we’re milking it for all it’s worth.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
The excess skin in a steer’s neck is called the “dewlap,” and does not resemble a human vagina in the least.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Golden Steer’s mascot was spared and put into storage (photo below) until a week or two ago.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
The rope halter thingy was retired during the upgrade. Yes, that’s the technical term for it. Probably.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Many thanks to reader @StripCab<\/a> for alerting us to the bovine’s return.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
Not to be a buzzkill, but steers are castrated bulls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Why the delay in resurrecting the shimmering, quadrupedal ungulate mammal? Well, times have changed over the decades, and the permitting process took longer than expected.<\/p>\n

In the end, the fine folks at Supreme Lobster and Seafood helped pay for a refurbish of the sign post and gold steer, complete with a new paint job and glitter. We’re waiting to hear back from Golden Steer about the cost of the new sign. We’re guessing $9,225. Want to take the over-under<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The old-school Golden Steer Steakhouse is west of the Las Vegas Strip, on Sahara Avenue.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
Some members of the Golden Steer waitstaff have been at the restaurant for 40 years or more.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s reassuring to once again see the golden steer in its place of prominence at Golden Steer Steakhouse, a Las Vegas institution.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
