| - i love how such a cool and fun spot was built in the space of one of Downtown Vegas' original hotel/casinos.
80's and 90's kids' childhood nostalgia meets vice of current age at Gold Spike. daybeds, love sac beanbags, and lounge chairs to relax at. a DJ spinning current and 90's dance hits. life-size Connect 4, dartboards, pool tables, bean bag toss. board games and card games you can check out and play with your party back at one of the tabes. and that's just the inside.
outside, there's a life-size Jenga and life-size beer pong, as well as an ice-skating rink (no idea if it's a permanent fixture or just something for the wintertime). more patio furniture, firepits, and heatlamps. even a band that plays live music.
the crowd is great here. the drinks are delicious, and you don't have to fight through a mass of people just go get an order in. you can forget (and enjoy) that you're not at one of the night clubs which are filled to capacity with all the bachelor/bachelorette parties or the 21st birthday celebrants or the young and crazy college kids that don't know how to hold their alcohol. you don't have to get on some sort of guestlist where the guy-girl ratio has to be a certain way. you're not waiting in line for hours or paying an exorbitant cover charge. you're not restricted to a small portion of the club's total space because you want to dance to some grooves.
the Downtown Vegas revival looks bright with attractions like Gold Spike, the Container Park, Insert Coin(s), etc.
-civilities.
