Bronze Bull Banished to Backroom

My posts about Benny Binion's bronze statue reminded me of the Bodacious Bronze Bull debacle.

It seems the only place for a muscular bovine in a Steakhouse is on the plate.

Shortly after Mario Batali placed the virile statue at his Palazzo restaurant, guests began having their way with Bo, fondling him, mounting him, posing for pictures, etc.

Citing safety concerns, the bull as Norm from the Review Journal states, was put out to pasture.

The bull was named after Bodacious, the baddest bull ever to buck, who was retired at the National Finals Rodeo after smashing Tuff Hedeman's face in at the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) finals weeks before.

Perhaps Bodacious the Bronze Bull should be relocated to the South Point so that he can hang out with Benny Binion.

It makes sense in more ways than one, as I have just connected the dots and noted that Benny Binion's famous Bucking Bull and Horse Sale has moved to the South Point this year.

That gives ole Michael Gaughan a measly excuse for moving the bronze statue of Benny, but it is indeed a weak and puny one at best.

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- if Mr. Gaughan wanted a statue of Benny he should have had a replica made, and left the original downtown.
