Golden Gate Casino

Golden Gate proudly bills itself as the oldest hotel in Las Vegas, tracing its roots back to a small downtown hotel that later became the casino standing on the corner of Fremont Street today. Its cozy, historic casino floor is a favorite subject of any Golden Gate review, packed with vintage character and a shrimp cocktail counter that has become a downtown institution in its own right. Owners Derek and Greg Stevens have kept the property both nostalgic and current, most recently modernizing its table games technology while preserving the old Vegas atmosphere upstairs. For a compact, characterful stop among the best casinos in Las Vegas, Golden Gate hotel and casino is hard to beat.
