When you are traveling on a budget, it can be tough to find a clean and updated room in Vegas for under fifty dollars. I was pleasantly surprised by Gold Coast. I was attending a conference across the street at Rio, but wanted to get a less expensive guest room. Gold Coast was a great option for me.
It was easy to go back and forth between the hotels. It's always nice when you can walk into a casino and get to the guest room elevator without too much hassle. Door to door in 3 minutes. Rooms are basic, but clean and updated. Linens and beds were nice, no problems with electricity or plumbing (always seems to be common issue in big hotels, but not here). There were food options available at all times of the day, but I mostly ate elsewhere.
It's two blocks off of the Flamingo Exit off I-15, and parking is easy. Drive up to the 3rd level and you get a skybridge to take you into the casino that's air-conditioned with escalators.
