Golden Gate Hotel & Casino

Golden Gate Hotel & Casino Photos, Tips and Details:

The Golden Gate Hotel & Casino opened in 1906 and was called Hotel Nevada when it opened. It was the first hotel in Las Vegas. It was than renamed Sal Sagev (Las Vegas spelled backwards). Fun Fact: This hotel received the first phone number in Las Vegas “1”.

In 1974 it was renamed Golden Gate and it has a San Francisco theme, with 122 rooms and suites. Tip: They do not have a pool, but hotel guests can visit Stadium Swim at the Circa Resort & Casino (sister property).

Tip: The Golden Gate is located on the Fremont Street Experience and has some of the smallest hotel rooms in the entire city, unless you book a suite.

This hotel and casino is owned by Greg and Derek Stevens. They became full owners of the property in 2016. They did a expansion of the casino in 2017 when they purchased the La Bayou Casino next door.

They feature over 250 of the latest slot machines and a fun casino pit with all the popular table games, including Blackjack, Craps and Roulette. The casino pit has dancing dealers nightly. They also have Circa Sports betting kiosks and a High Limit gaming room.

The Golden Gate uses the CLUB ONE loyalty card, which can also be used at The D Hotel & Casino and Circa Resort & Casino (sister properties).

Tip: Be sure to check out the lobby area for some Las Vegas history with displays. The Golden Gate Hotel and Casino was known for the famous 99 cent Shrimp Cocktail. That is long gone. Tip: There are no dining options in the casino since Du-par’s Coffee Shop closed.

Bar Prohibition is very popular, and a great place to watch sports. Outside they have One Bar with cocktails, beer and slush drinks. This property is as vintage Vegas as it gets – in a good way.

Free valet parking is available for hotel guests and if you gamble. See the CLUB ONE Booth for details. RTC Bus Routes: DEUCE and CX
