Gold Spike oh how I love thee! The room prices and location can't be beat. I stayed here before the renovation in 2006 and had the time of my life. Sure the patrons seemed a little seedy but they were fun and entertaining. I returned to Vegas and my beloved gold spike in 2011 and to my surprise it had gotten a facelift. Just like my grandma after her facelift the gold spike was just as sweet on the outside as it is on the inside. This place would have gotten 5 stars but the bartenders took forever to take my order so 4 stars it is. I must say the gold spike is the best kept secret in Vegas.
