Golden Steer Steakhouse, a choice center-cut portion of Old Vegas that continues to flourish, is expanding for the first time since 1978, the Las Vegas Review-Journal has learned.

Golden Steer, which opened in 1958, lies at 308 W. Sahara Ave., near the confluence of Sahara and the Strip. The restaurant is taking over its next-door neighbor, Hummus Vegas & Grill, a kosher Middle Eastern spot that closed this year.

The ribbon-cutting for the expansion is Nov. 9, with public dining planned to begin before Nov. 16, the first night of Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend. The expansion, to the west, adds about 60 seats and 1,000 square feet to Golden Steer, said Amanda Signorelli, a managing partner whose family owns the restaurant.
