Golden Gate Hotel & Casino News - Page 3

The plans for the new gaming resort in Downtown Las Vegas to open in December 2020 were unveiled by Derek and Greg Stevens last week.

Whether placed by amateurs or experts, the sportsbooks at Golden Gate, the D, and the 18 Fremont location will appeal to all types of bettors and offer a competitive wagering menu.

Members of UNITE HERE's Culinary and Bartenders Unions will hold a strike vote on Tuesday, 22 May 2018 at the Thomas & Mack Center of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

More than likely, there are hundreds of casinos undergoing some sort of renovation right at this very moment. But only we have a list of the top 10 to keep an eye on.

Building on its 111-year history, the hotel and casino will unveil its renovated casino in late August.

The Vegas Stats & Information Network and the casino unveiled the opening lines and shared insights during a Selection Sunday special that aired on SiriusXM.

The Plaza's casino was reconfigured to include a "party pit" near the resort's Main Street entrance with three blackjack games and a roulette table. The glass-walled room faces out toward Fremont Street with an atmosphere enhanced by music and lights that are intended to draw customers from the pedestrian mall. Live music was added to the casino's floor seven nights a week. The casino, which has 600 slot machines, includes 30 vintage coin-in slot games that appeal to an older customer base.

Eldorado Resorts' acquisition of MGM's holdings in Reno for $72.5 million will give the company a 32% share of the hotel rooms in the city.

Derek Stevens, who also owns The D Las Vegas and the recently closed Las Vegas Club, purchased the remaining share of the Golden Gate from Mark Brandenburg, whose family founded the casino.

Downtown gaming revenue has increased in eight consecutive months, including September's 9% jump.

CEO Jim Simms, who oversaw a complete upgrade of the casino floor, says the casino hotel is looking for a bigger share of the downtown Las Vegas gambling audience.

On Nov. 1, Jeff Victor will become vice president of operations for the Derek Stevens-owned group of casinos, which includes the D Las Vegas and Golden Gate.

The owner of the Golden Gate has worked there since he was 12 and takes pride in Las Vegas's development into a world-class city.

The owner of the D Las Vegas and the Golden Gate purchased the Riviera's 852 slot machines, four roulette wheels and spare machine parts.

Bill Boyd said a 1983 decision to take over management of the troubled Stardust was an easy choice.

The authorization comes after a more than a year-and-a-half of negotiation with the casinos, Culinary Local 226 spokeswoman Bethany Khan said.

At the most basic level, it’s just another fight over selling liquor and making money.

When word of the plans leaked Tuesday, several people showed up at the D Las Vegas’ American Coney Island, looking to pay for several of the restaurant’s signature hot dogs with Bitcoin.

In a matter of five years, Stevens transformed two aging hotels into entertainment and gambling attractions that have renewed portions of Fremont Street and given downtown additional character.

The Golden Gate has unveiled the first phase of its renovation just a few days following the name-change announcement from its sister property, the D Las Vegas.
