Golden Gate Hotel Questions

Anyone have an opinion on the Golden Gate Hotel at 1 Freemont St? Also does the Deuce bus stop at that hotel? I know it%26#39;s at the of the Freemont Experience, but, is it near all the action or would we have to walk quite a ways to cheap food and casinos other than what is in the hotel?

Thanks :)

Golden Gate Hotel Questions

The Golden Gate is at the Plaza end of Fremont Street. It is in the middle of everything. Well, not in the middle but you can walk the entire Fremont street experience in 10 minutes. That is the nice thing about down town. It is all very close. The GG has a great diner. Good prices and very good food. The GG has a small casino but there are many others with in a 2 minute walk.

Good luck and enjoy,

Golden Gate Hotel Questions

I love the Golden Gate!! Historicaly its the oldest hotel in Las Vegas. Its small and has a great diner and deli in the back that serves up a very tasty shrimp cocktail for 99 cents( if you have a players card!). They have the biggest craps table I have ever seen. I have never stayed there because I have read that the rooms are tiny and the bathrooms even smaller. But I have read where others have stayed there and liked it fine. It is however, rumored to be haunted though.

Are you looking to stay there or just visit?

As far as I know, the Deuce does not stop there but stops at the corner of Fremont and Las Vegas Blvd. The Golden Gate is at the other end of Fremont but the walk isn%26#39;t bad at all. You will see about 8 hotel/casinos along the way with some shops and restaurants in between. The Golden Gate is small but worth the visit for sure especially for the cheap shrimp cocktails at the Deli and the good food at the Bay City Diner. They also have craps and blackjack.

acsmacan... they have redone the Golden Gate rooms, and I believe they are now nice enough and large enough rooms on or above the level of the Fitz or Binions... maybe more like 4Queens or Fremont. They have two bed double bed rooms, and even 2 bed queen bed rooms now. I have heard that if you go to bed early or are a light sleeper, the rooms are quite noisy till the wee hours of the morning.

Thanks for the quick replies :)

My 21 y/o daughter and I are planning a trip to Vegas on the cheap, cheap, cheap. Found the Golden Gate and since we don%26#39;t want luxury, just somewhere clean, safe, and close to the Deuce thought is might work.

The GG is perfect for a nostalgic and low key Vegas romp. You will be perfectly safe and comfy there. Please read some reviews if you haven%26#39;t already.

p.s. can%26#39;t help with The Deuce question but i know it must be close.

the ghosts wont bite.

I stayed there last year. The room was very small and way outdated. They have since remodeled all the rooms and they are nice. I liked that the windows opened all the way. When I went to bed at night, I could hear the slot machines through the ducts that were above the bed. Just don%26#39;t stay on the 2nd floor. I swear that floor is haunted!

Destination-

When are you planning to travel? If you are going on Sun- Thrus trip, I believe that you can get a 2-4-1 coupon room deal thru the ACG book!! The Las Vegas Advisor%26#39;s Member rewards book also has a similar coupon for a room and a 2-4-1 for the diner as well. If your looking to save some $$ both of these books are a must have.

Thanks. I read the reviews and the majority seem to be positive if you aren%26#39;t looking for luxury.

We are going the 1st week in May and the rate for 5 nights including tax was around $110! Can%26#39;t get much cheaper than that so since it%26#39;s safe, we%26#39;ll book.

I%26#39;ve been to Vegas twice staying on the strip. My daughter went in Jan. and stayed in a time share. She got a free plane ticket for bumping off her flight so wants to take a trip with me, but, I%26#39;ve lost my job. While I have the time, there isn%26#39;t extra cash and she is a college student so we MUST do it on a shoe string.
