111-Year-Old Downtown Classic Hotel-Casino, Golden Gate, Debuts Expansion for Labor Day Weekend
Golden Gate Hotel & Casino had the city buzzing this past weekend during the unveiling of its new 5,000-square-foot expansion. The downtown property, famously known as Las Vegas’ most historic boutique hotel, has experienced its fair share of exciting face lifts since its birth in 1906 (Pictured: Golden Gate Casino Hotel expansion ribbon cutting with Mayor Carolyn Goodman and Stevens Brothers – Photo credit: Golden Gate Hotel & Casino).

Hundreds arrived to witness the monumental reopening. Attendees included passersby, loyal guests, city officials, and hotel-casino executives. Owners, Derek and Greg Stevens, joined Mayor Carolyn Goodman to greet the crowd, take a trip down memory lane, and participate in the anticipated ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Mr. Derek Stevens explained how the 111-year-old property now possesses all modern amenities while still maintaining its vintage feel. The expansion features 91 new slot machines, and a 360-degree, 24-foot television tower which frames a beautiful chandelier, all accessible through the newly designed entrance from Fremont Street. The property’s outdoor bar, OneBar, was also extended by 20-feet and is now only one foot shorter than downtown’s longest bar, located at the D Casino Hotel.

This was just the beginning of more downtown renovations thanks to Stevens, as he is working on a new hotel-casino project across from Golden Gate, currently occupied by the now-closed Mermaids and Las Vegas Club.
