Gold Spike isn't what it used to be. Downtown Project totally gutted the old downtown casino and transformed it into a hipster magnet. The slot machines, tables, everything is gone. In its place is now a chill hang out spot complete with cheap drinks, good food and plenty of entertainment.
The lounge areas is what makes a visit to the Spike worth it. Huge bean bag chairs and comfy couches surround "board" games spread throughout the property. Giant versions of Connect 4, and Jenga is what everyone raves about. Overall great atmosphere, total 180 of the old smokey casino that Gold Spike used to be. Be warned though: more and more people are finding out about GS and its geting packed weekend evenings.
