Ahhhhh...the Gold Coast.
This hotel/casino has many attributes.
The rooms are very spacious. The shower is amazing. Never have I had such great water pressure in hotel before and yes this is important when trying to wash the Vegas funk (cigs and old lady perfume) out of your hair.
The TV has almost no tv stations, but who really cares, its Vegas and you should be out of your room.
The food choices in this Hotel are a little lacking. Many asain food choices, so if thats your favorite then your good to go here. There was a TGIF, which was so/so. The lunch buffet was only so-so. I couldn't believe the buffet actually closed though and didn't turn over the food with staying open, that was a huge downer. The Java corner was great. Huge muffins and yummy starbucks coffee. Kate's corner has great ice cream for when you need to cool down.
The pool was nice until the kids showed up, but again, not the casino's fault.
The Gambling is good. Cheaper table games than on the strip. More of a locals hang out.
Good location, right across the street from the Rio and the Palms and just two blocks away from the strip offering a shuttle.
I heart you Gold Coast and will be back.
