Golden Gate Hotel & Casino

The Golden Gate opened in 1906 as the Hotel Nevada. In 1907 it was assigned Las Vegas’ first telephone with the number 1.  Located a one Fremont street in downtown Las Vegas Nevada. It is the smallest hotel, 106 rooms, on the Fremont Experience. The Golden Gate was the first to serve a fifty cent shrimp cocktail in 1959. It continues the tradition today. There is the “Original Shrimp Cocktail” $1.99 and the “Big” Shrimp Cocktail, made like the original, but using larger-sized shrimp, $3.99. A bargain at either price.

Update 6/25/2017: After Dupar’s closed, no more shrimp cocktails at the Golden Gate.

Fremont East District in Downtown Las Vegas

In 2006 the city of Las Vegas revealed plans to redevelop Fremont Street east of the Fremont Street Experience as an entertainment district. The Fremont East District offers an eclectic mixture of bars, clubs and cafes along Fremont Street from Las Vegas Boulevard to Eighth Street. The district continues one block north of Fremont Street to Ogden Avenue and one block south to Carson Avenue. In addition, beginning in February 2010, the city began waiving the $20,000 tavern-limited license origination fee for businesses locating within the district.

In the Fremont East District, you’ll be keeping good company with popular downtown venues such as Azul Tequila, The Beat Coffeehouse, Insert Coins, Beauty Bar, Downtown Cocktail Room, The Griffin, Maharaja Hookah Café, The Park, La Comidea, Radio City Pizza, Commonwealth and the Vanguard Lounge and more in the planning and construction stages. . Fremont East is one of the only areas which is non gaming, except for the El Cortez Hotel and Casino.
