The Golden Gate Hotel and Casino is a tourist-class hotel and casino, located eight miles from Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport. An outstanding value, this landmark hotel is situated at the end of the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas. Built in 1906, The Golden Gate has the distinction of being the oldest hotel - and the smallest, on Fremont Street. It has also been called the best hotel in downtown Las Vegas. This hotel is unpretentious and attracts a loyal clientele, as well as returning out-of-town guests. The Golden Gate offers visitors a look at the Las Vegas of yesteryear, and is probably the only hotel in Las Vegas that has a grand piano in the middle of its casino.
The guestrooms do not lack any of today's modern comforts and amenities. These rooms have been updated and renovated over the years, without spoiling the ambiance of this historic hotel. The Golden Gate is famous for originating the famous shrimp cocktail and still offers them for 99 cents at its famous Shrimp Bar and Deli. Another of the hotel's high points is the Bay City Diner, which serves outstanding traditional entrees at value prices. Don't be alarmed if you see emergency personnel gathered inside. The Bay City Diner is a favorite of locals who know a good meal, including the police.
