  • Just stayed at the Golden Gate on a comped three-night weekend stay. I had only played here once, a couple hours of $50 blackjack, before they sent me a mailer with the free hotel stay and a meal at the diner, so it appears the casino is not stingy with the comps. This casino is making a major attempt at resurgence, as the owners had previously done with the D. They've certainly turned it into one of the nicer casinos downtown. As far as hotel accommodations go, it's not the Nugget or the Grand, as they'd like you to believe. But I'd take it over the Four Queens. I also prefer historic charm and original fixtures over big new rooms, however. Unfortunately there's a bunch of things holding this place back from being a destination, at least for me. Among them: 1) The hotel appears to have cut corners on its renovations. The rooms look great and are clean, but it stops at appearance. At least in our room, they have a nice headboard and art above the bed, but somehow kept an old, extremely squeaky bed frame. I don't need the bed to be louder than my partner...it's distracting... 2) If you play blackjack, you'll learn there is only one table that doesn't have those damned continuous shufflers. You have to go into the high-limit room, where a single table sits, usually occupied by one person, with a minimum of $15 or $25 and its own pit boss who has nothing else to do but watch. 3) The "resort fee" covers...pretty much nothing. I asked if they have a gym. Yes. It's in the D, a couple blocks down the street. Same goes for the business center. And the Wi-Fi costs $10 a day. Lastly, I have to address people's complaints about noise. They aren't without their merit. The walls are thin, as you'd expect from an old hotel. And you will definitely hear the attractions on Fremont Street. But they do turn down the lights and sound out there at a reasonable hour. I had no trouble sleeping. The Golden Gate was nice to stay at once, just for the history, and I might be back to play or even to get breakfast at Du-Par's, which is highly reputed and draws a big crowd despite Hash House A Go-Go being across the street. Set the bar low and you might enjoy it.
