One of Las Vegas’ original hotels, the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino, a property dating back to 1906, has just completed a major expansion project.
Some careful work has gone into the architecture of the expansion in order to retain the building’s character. The casino floor has been part of the renovation, doubling its size and installing a majestic grand entrance and extending the outdoor bar fronting on to One Fremont Street.
“Golden Gate is an important landmark in Las Vegas’ narrative and it was our responsibility to revere its past,” said CEO and owner Derek Stevens.
“So many prominent figures have walked down Fremont Street Experience and into Golden Gate throughout the last century, so we intend to respect and relish its history, while introducing amenities suited for today.”
Stevens acquired adjoining land to facilitate the expansion project that is the second in recent years. In 2012 the location had a five-story hotel tower built and a new lobby.
Historically, the Golden Gate hosted the "Rat Pack", including Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jnr and Dean Martin, and was home to the city’s first electric signs and first public telephone.
