They also have the girls at the outside bar and the last stage of the Fremont Street Experience is right out the front doors. Poor variety of video poker and the paytables are not the best for downtown. ]]> Fri, 22 Nov 2013 01:29:13 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2506689 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2506689 This is a great place to come if you are looking for a buget friendly stop. Most of the time the there are pleny of $5 tables, max $10 during peak times. The VP is ok, but I didn't see any fp at the .25 level. Very easy to earn free room mailers. The hotel itself is very one star, bur serviceable. The rooms are small - seriously they are small - and the bathrooms are dated. No pool, no room service. Valet is close and quick. ]]> Mon, 18 Nov 2013 16:16:20 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2506538 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2506538 They have a resort fee coming which may hurt the budget minded. Great eye candy at the tables. I enjoy looking at the old slot machines and pictures. Vp pretty weak, especially for downtown. Cafe still has the old Dupar's baked goods. Nice history. ]]> Tue, 13 Aug 2013 17:13:02 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2505293 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2505293 I happen to be paralyzed and in a wheelchair, but fly out several times a year I fly out to Vegas and always enjoy checking out the various resorts -- especially the Downtown properties. I never stayed at the Golden Gates because they did not have handicapped-accessible accommodations so it will be interesting to see they make some of the rooms accessible for the disabled with their current renovation project. On my recent visit, I went to the Golden Gate for my usual fix of shrimp cocktails and the back area was walled off. The Golden Gate has some very attractive dealers at their table games, but my favorite part of the Golden Gate is the food. Besides the $1.99 shrimp cocktails, I think they have the best coffee shop downtown. Their breakfast items -- including pancakes, French toast, fresh baked muffins, pies and fresh squeezed orange juice -- are some of the best anywhere. Among the entrees I enjoy are the roast turkey dinner and the chicken pot pie. The service in the coffee shop is excellent and there are several staff who have been their many years and do their job to perfection. Looking forward to see the completed renovations at the Golden Gate. I just hope they don't wipe away that old Las Vegas feeling and atmosphere. ]]> Wed, 29 Feb 2012 01:55:02 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2505283 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2505283 This small hotel and casino goes back to the turn of the century! Lots of fun in the casino, pretty lady dealers, cheap table games, nice old slot machines. Great Deli and Shrimp Bar. Old pictures of San Francisco, hence the name Golden Gate. Players card always has an offer for new sign ups. ]]> Tue, 28 Feb 2012 01:20:34 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2505251 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2505251 Straight Forward Review based on my 2 week trip last month: Property- Golden Gate Casino on Fremont Street Pros- Low limits like most of Fremont Street Sexy ladies outside Sexy dealers inside ACG Matchplay coupon for $25 (I hit blackjack on it!) Shrimp Cocktail Cons- Small You can only look at the ladies, no touching! lol ]]> Fri, 24 Feb 2012 05:29:36 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2504891 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2504891 We always drop in at the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino when we visit the Fremont Street area. When we first got our players cards we got free shrimp cocktails that were great. We used coupons from the ACG to get free play after playing. ]]> Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:13:59 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2504877 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2504877 All I can say, is get the shrimp cocktail. For $1.99, it has to be the BEST VALUE in Vegas, and the best in taste. They also have a bucket of "help yourself" crackers which go great with it. Wash it all down with a Margarita. They are really good here. Like most downtown places, the Video Poker is decent. Play it at the bar and drink bottled beer, not a fan of draught beer here.

Smaller than NYC rooms even! Ditto on the bathrooms. Having said that the location is great, the staff is super, and the rooms were clean and reasonably updated. If you are on a Budget the Gate will serve you well. tip: ask for an "exterior room" ... The interior rooms don't really have a window/view. PS: give the shrimp cocktail a try..it's great ]]> Tue, 25 Oct 2011 18:45:32 +0000 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2502726 https://www.americancasinoguidebook.com/nevada/golden-gate-hotel-a-casino.html/discussions/2502726 The rooms are small, and the bathrooms really, really small. But the renovation has made it all quite pleasant. The decor is all in black, white and orange. Kind of a Halloween look! Even the coffee maker is black. There is a large flat screen TV and what looks to be free internet access (I did not use it, so I can't be sure it was free).

The front desk was a problem. The people there seem to be inexplicably slow, both on check in and check out, as well as in answering questions. This seems to be a habit, as I have stayed here several times and it is always a long wait to speak to someone, even when there is only one person ahead of you.

The first time I asked for late checkout they said it was against their policy. When I asked for 10 extra minutes they said "no" and said even one minute late would be subject to a charge. Also, you had to check out in person and stand in line, instead of simply calling to say you are leaving, as is customary in most hotels. Since that time I have made it a point to check out at least 15 minutes early and never ask for late check out.

But the renovated rooms are quite pleasant and reasonably priced. If you don't mind being crowded, you'll enjoy it.

The proximity of the excellent deli to your room is great. Or, stay downstairs and enjoy listening to the piano player. The restaurant is good too. Great prime rib dinner and fair pricing. ]]> Sun, 20 Sep 2009 08:43:32 +0000
