Holy Cow Casino and Brewery (formerly Foxy's Firehouse) was a locals casino and microbrewery[2] on Las Vegas Boulevard, north of the Las Vegas Strip, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Owned by Big Dog's Hospitality Group,[4] Holy Cow was the first microbrewery in Las Vegas.[5]
History
The brewery had a capacity of 2,200 bbl per year.[1]
At one point, Harry Caray, the announcer of the Chicago Cubs who was known for his saying "Holy cow!" during broadcasts, visited the Holy Cow Casino and Brewery and autographed a wall of the club with his signature saying.
The operation closed on March 22, 2002.[4]
In 2004, plans were announced to replace the Holy Cow with a $700 million, 940-foot condominium tower called the Summit.
In 2005, Ivana Trump became associated with the high-rise project, which was renamed as Ivana Las Vegas.[6] Trump added pink awnings to the Holy Cow building when it was reopened as a temporary sales office for Ivana Las Vegas, which was ultimately cancelled.[7][8]
The building was demolished in late April 2012.
In 2014, construction began on a two-story Walgreens store on the former property of the Holy Cow.[6]
