Have stayed here several times and have enjoyed it each time. Tower rooms are very roomy, except for the bathrooms. Otherwise extremely happy. And yes you can see Jackie Gaughan around the hotel. Have done very well on the slots too. Highly recommend it.

Old school vibe, very nice room for the price.

Getto, smelly but looser than most.. Not bad but not good. Slots the good thing.

Haven't ever been here, but am booked for a cabana junior suite from July 28-31. The place just looks awesome and I seem to hear mostly good things about it. After my stay, I will update this.Any place with single-deck blackjack with 3:2 payout automatically gets major thumbs up in my book.

I saw a one legged hooker there once. Love it.

Kick ass drunken 3 dollar blackjack.

CLASSIC Downtown Vegas.
This Building is the only one that has not change its front facade since the 40's... Id say you get the real experince when you visit it after 1am..

Good odds. Nice clean remodeled rooms, but the clientele seems to have gone downhill.

a good resort but not the rooms

World famous Shrimp Cocktail hands down the best deal in vegas.

Low limit tables. Always seem to win here.

Not fancy but has old-time style. Maybe the best diner on Fremont Street. Live pianists singing old standards at the snack bar in the back. They are great; don't forget to tip!

The BEST shrimp coctail in all of Las Vegas and only $1.99!!
one of the oldest casinio's on Fremont, It still has the original rooms in use..

Always make it down for the Shrimp Cocktail. Best deal in Vegas. Wish I were there now!

Golden Gate is an incredibly intimate, unbelievably charming and downright friendly joint to hang out in. I haven't sampled the rooms yet, but the staff - dealers, cage, security, diner and snack bar - are awesome. Golden Gate is a breath of fresh, yet 100 year old, air in the age of monolithic casino hugeness.

Old Vegas fo shizay! It was way cool hanging out at this joint. Had a real old western gambling hall feel. It was kind dead when we were there, but it was 2:30AM on a Monday morning.

I have never stayed at the Golden Gate....pretty sure I never will. But every time I make the trip to Las Vegas, I have to go here. The cheap Roulette and Black Jack can not be beat. Staggering out of the Golden Gate at 2:00 am, after playing Roulette for an hour with the same $20 is the best.

Perfect place to get a snack while stumbling around downtown. Fun, intimate casino with low limits.

It's not too bad of a hotel (especially considering the $19.06/night rate I snagged). The rooms (all recently renovated) are fairly nice (although my queen room was a bit tiny, but perfect for a solo tripper), the bed is comfy, there was a very comfy chair right near the bed (you could lounge in the chair and use the bed as an ottoman), the TV is a modern LCD TV (They could have gone with a cheap no-name brand, but opted for LG TVs [Perhaps at a discount since the FSE Viva Vision screen is from LG]), and the clock radio is one with an iPod dock. The "prison chic" bathroom has been slightly updated, but still has the narrow closet of a shower and a door that must be closed in order to use the toilet.

YUMMY FOOD! Good odds on the slots.

Has a very '80's theme...1880's

Getting woke up by the Fremont Street experience every hour on the hour rocks. Who needs an alarm clock? The valet actually washed our filthy Bronco.

My first hotel, back when I was a Vegas Virgin. Paid $15 a nite for it, looked right out just under the Freemont Puppet Show. We didn't know what was going on when it started, I was asleep and thought the world was ending. Nice room, cheap, good location if yer into old skool.
