I was here maybe five years ago, and I fell in love with the deli at the Golden Gate... they made awesome sandwiches, served Coronas right off ice, and had a wealth of seating. But above all, they offered their famous shrimp cocktails three different ways... with or without fake crabmeat, and jumbo. I have pictures of colossal cocktail-sauce splattered pyramids of shrimp cups that my friends and I constructed.
Fast-forward to 2013... if you want shrimp, that awesome Golden Gate shrimp bar and deli is long gone... to make way for some slot machines, probably. The famous shrimp cocktail dispensary is now relegated to a tiny chiller box behind the counter at Du-Pars, the casino's diner.
Shrimp are still tasty at $2.99, and they come with saltines and a slice of lemon. But not nearly as sweet as the memories I have of yesterdays gone by...
