Location. Combining economy and a comprehensive Las Vegas experience, the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino is located on Flamingo Road, just one mile west of the famed Las Vegas Strip. Popular among both families and professionals, this off-strip property stands five miles from the Las Vegas Convention Center, five miles from McCarran International Airport, and across the street from the Palms Casino.
Hotel Features. Home to an 800-seat bingo hall, a 70-lane bowling alley, musical performances and live comedy acts, the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino boasts all the excitement that typifies Las Vegas. The casino features 2,100 slots and video poker machines, Las Vegas' only million-dollar keno game, popular table games and multiple plasma- screen televisions. Among the hotel's six onsite restaurants, Arriva's serves fine Italian cuisine; the Cortez Room offers steaks and seafood; and the Ping Pang Pong Chinese Kitchen prepares many Asian specialties including dim sum. Other property features include an outdoor freeform pool and spa tub, a fitness center and ballroom dancing lessons.

Guestrooms. Although spacious, the guestrooms are modest and arranged in a very traditional fashion. Standard guestroom amenities include high-speed Internet access, coffeemakers and cable television.

Expert Tip. A complimentary shuttle bus takes guests to Gold Coast's companion property, The Orleans, which touts a 16-screen movie theater, or to the Barbary Coast, in the center of The Strip, one block from the Bellagio water show. :
