The Golden Gate will have a completely redesigned Fremont Street facade. Stepping back to the glam of yesteryear, there will be a multifaceted crystal chandelier, composed of spirals cascading downward in tiers of beveled mirror accents. The display will almost make it appear as though the TVs are emerging from a fountain of slot machines. The centerpiece of the new space will be an eye-catching 360-degree, 24-foot tower of televisions. The new casino space will offer almost 100 new slots for guests. The renovations will allow the casino floor to be larger but not take away from the table games. It makes for my favorite craps game in all of Las Vegas. Part of the charm of the casino at the Golden Gate casino is the tight quarters. The Golden Gate will be closed from August 20 through August 25th. This is only the second time in its 111 years in business that the casino-hotel is closing. The final touches to the Golden Gate will be vast, so the tiny casino floor will have to close for a few days. The Golden Gate Will Be Closed From August 20 – August 25 “We are thrilled to continue Golden Gate’s incredible narrative and evolution, while also contributing to the area’s ongoing revitalization.” “Since opening in 1906 as Hotel Nevada, Golden Gate has played a key role in the growth and success of Downtown Las Vegas,” says CEO Derek Stevens. The renovations will be revealed to the public on August 25. Finally, the casino will extend the outdoor bar, OneBar. There will be a new grand entry way on Fremont Street Experience. The renovation will nearly double the casino in size into the casino you may remember as La Bayou. Its 111th year in business will be marked with a major expansion of its casino floor. The Golden Gate Hotel is one of Las Vegas’ original hotels going back to the early 1900’s.
