The Holy Cow suffered from a decline of tourism caused by the aftermath of the September 11 attacks . The Holy Cow closed on March 22 , 2002 , with the exception of the brewery , which continued to operate . Big Dog 's Hospitality Group planned to ultimately move brewing operations to the company 's Draft House Barn & Casino in North Las Vegas . The property 's 14-foot cow statue was sold for $ 2,200 to Jim Marsh , who owned several casinos and automobile dealerships in Nevada . Marsh set the cow statue up at his Longstreet hotel-casino in Amargosa Valley , Nevada
