This is my favorite hotel and casino to stay at when I'm in Las Vegas. The Gold Coast is located slightly off the strip. There is plenty of parking and check in is really easy. No long lines. Everything here is centrally located.
There is a gambling area called the "Hippy pit ". I love this area. They play fun music, hand out fun trinkets, and dress up in tie-dye. There are also hundreds of slot machines along with card and table games.
There is a subway, TGI Fridays, and Java loft here. There is also a bowling alley.
The rooms are very clean and comfortable. I've stayed here a couple times and never had a problem. The staff here are polite and friendly. Definitely a hidden gem.
