YEAH Gold Spike!!!\nA couple months ago I spent an eventful weekend in Vegas with my girlfriends. I have always stayed on the Strip but have heard stories about downtown Vegas and the Fremont Experience so I went along with my GF's to tour Old Vegas.\nMy first impression of the Gold Spike was like stepping into your favorite dive bar. The casino is REALLY REALLY small but the bar is nice and big and since all I wanted was a machine at the bar I was happy. \nOur room was itty bitty tiny but the it was clean and the furniture resembled IKEA so I was okay with it. \nWe ate a few of our meals in the restaurant including the Prime Rib. I was pleasantly surprised that $5.99 prime rib was actually really good! The manager of the restaurant came to our table to talk to us and make sure we were happy with our meal and our waitress was very attentive and funny... impressed!\n\nSince we chose to go to Vegas on a weekend where it actually snowed we spent much of our evenings and early mornings sittin' at the Gold Spike bar drinking with the regulars and chatting up the very friendly and entertaining bartender, Chris. He made excellent drinks and impressed us with his bottle flipping and awesome cocktails!\n\nOn a side note... there were feces on the floor of the lobby the first night and on the second night one of the regulars stole my phone from right next to me. My phone was not recovered but security did everything they could to try and recover it for me, including trying to chase down the jerk that stole it!\n\nAside from the poop and stolen phone... WOW... I had a blast with my friends and the people at the Gold Spike helped to make it a memorable weekend!\nDidn't hurt that we only paid $98.00 total for 2 nights!
