Hailed as Las Vegas’ “Most Historic Hotel,” the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino in downtown has stood the test of time and then some.
Since opening as the Hotel Nevada in 1906, this corner establishment has stood placidly at One Fremont Street while the city — and the world — changed around it. Most notably, Fremont Street Experience with free light shows and special events was built right outside its doors.
In step with the revitalization spreading throughout downtown Las Vegas, the Golden Gate underwent a major expansion not too long ago. A stunning lobby exhibits items from the hotel’s notable past — things like a Kellogg telephone and ledgers from 1907. There’s a high-limit gaming area in a nook just off the enlarged casino floor, which was also refurbished with new carpeting. The bathrooms have been redone, and silhouettes of either a gangster or flapper make them easy to find.
Also in the casino, guests will encounter the resort’s signature “dancing dealers” from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. nightly. The Bar Prohibition! in the casino is the place to go for a cocktail. With a classic speakeasy vibe, it boasts having once served Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. The One Bar with its bikini-clad and flair bartenders is also a great gathering spot located outside on Fremont Street.
Very little has changed to compromise the Golden Gate’s old school charm. The décor elements harken back to the Roaring ’20s or the Rat Pack era, while the latest technology has been utilized to bring the hotel into modern times. The existing 106 rooms have all been updated and now include hip amenities like 32-inch flat-screen televisions, Keurig coffee makers, pillow-top mattresses and iHome clock radios.
The hotel has opened a five-story tower that is home to 16 luxury suites, including two penthouses that cover the fifth floor. It also features a porte cochère for valet parking and the hotel’s exterior has contemporary pinstripe lighting accents.
The Golden Gate offers the best of both worlds. Guests can enjoy the intimate atmosphere of a historic boutique hotel and then step outside the front doors into the heart of the action in downtown Las Vegas.
With a great lineup of entertainment, two floors of gaming, several dining choices, three trendy bars and one of the best vantage points for the Fremont Street Experience light and sound show, The D Las Vegas is a hotspot in downtown.
The resort has a sexy, contemporary vibe. Its moniker — The D Las Vegas — pays tribute to its location in the resurging downtown scene as well as represents the Detroit roots of its owners. CEO Derek Stevens is also called “D” by his friends.
The accommodations (629 rooms and suites) are stylish and comfortable, and the casino floor is modern and vibrant. Gorgeous “Dancing Dealers” make the betting action more exciting.
There are two high-energy bars — the Longbar, which stretches the length of the casino and is lined by 15 big-screen TVs, and the outdoor D Bar with flair bartenders. Plus, a state-of-the-art sound system has been installed to keep the music pumping and the party going throughout the premises.
The D Las Vegas is the only downtown casino/hotel with two floors of gambling action. On the first floor you’ll discover the latest in slot, video and table gaming as well as a high-limit area. Those who want to enjoy vintage Vegas can head to the second floor, which is home to classic coin-operated machines and a Sigma Derby simulated horse racing game.
To enjoy a full evening at the resort, check out its headlining entertainment: the dinner show “Marriage Can Be Murder” and “Defending the Caveman,” which is the longest running one-man show in Broadway history. Or just sip on a cocktail and take in the sights of bustling Fremont Street from the Vue Bar, which boasts both indoor and outdoor patio seating.
Afternoons are also a blast at The D. Comedy magician Adam London appears in “LaughterNoon.”
For a superb meal in a refined setting (without the high price tag!), Joe Vicari’s Andiamo Italian Steakhouse features authentic Italian food, succulent steaks and great service. The dishes originated from the recipes of late Master Chef Aldo Ottaviani and are prepared from scratch daily. In addition to an extensive wine list, the restaurant boasts amazing cuts of meat from the nation’s top butchers, including Pat LaFrieda and Stockyard Premium beef and all-natural Strauss Brands lamb and veal. Among the items not to miss are the Andiamo Grande Meatball, the homemade gnocchi and desserts like the cannoli and bread pudding.
Casual dining options include McDonald’s and the 24-hour D Grill, which boasts a menu offering more than 75 breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert items all prepared from scratch (all the ingredient are fresh — nothing is ever frozen!). Plus, a Detroit staple, American Coney Island, can be found here — it’s first location outside of Michigan! So this is the only place in town where you can get the famous Dearborn Sausage Company brand hotdog with the Keros family secret special recipe chili sauce.
Downtown Grand is located on Third Street between Stewart and Ogden avenues in downtown Las Vegas, just steps from The Mob Museum and two blocks from Fremont Street Experience as well as a short stroll from the hip bar scene in the Fremont East Entertainment District.

Another inventive culinary concept at Downtown Grand is The Commissary, which features communal seating and an outdoor patio. Also open on a seasonal basis is The Pool Deck. In addition to an outdoor pool with a fire pit and cabanas, there is a bar, a lunch menu and park-like landscaping.
At night, you’ll find a lively scene in Downtown Grand’s casino bar Furnace or the Art Bar, which also serves small bites.

Located on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, Circus Circus Hotel, Casino & Theme Park has been a family favorite for years. With circus acts in the midway, thrilling rides in The Adventuredome and both casual and gourmet dining, this hotel has something for everyone.
Since opening in 1968, Circus Circus has appeared on screen in many films. It was a malevolent wonderland in Hunter S. Thompson’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” and a backdrop to the foreign intrigue in the James Bond thriller “Diamonds Are Forever.” The quirky romance between Austin Powers and Vanessa Kensington blossoms in front of the iconic clown marquee in “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.”
Inside, the classic casino floor (some areas even still have the original popcorn ceiling) is an adult playground, complete with many table games and numerous slot machines. Overhead, live circus acts — acrobats, trapeze artists, clowns and jugglers — run throughout the day beginning at 11 a.m., and a carnival midway offers games of skill and chance for all ages.
Accommodations are affordable and comfortable, including the motel-style manor rooms, which are located separately from the main building with their own interior corridor and security staff.
Please keep in mind all rooms are non-smoking; guests who smoke in rooms will be charged a $250 cleaning fee at checkout.

Circus Circus also touts the largest space-frame dome in the United States, The Adventuredome, an indoor theme park featuring the Canyon Blaster, a double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster, guaranteed to make you scream. The new El Loco, featuring a 72-second ride with gravity-defying turns and over-the-edge twists, provides a heart-dropping thrill as well.
An intimate race and sports book, pools and a unique rotating carousel-like snack bar round out the experience and should serve to reinforce any desire to run away and join the circus.
A Las Vegas institution, Circus Circus is one circus that’s always in town.
