text: Wow!! The Golden Gate hotel is old, poor thing. It needs an overhaul big time! I haven't stayed here & to be honest I probably wouldn't with the condition it is in right now. However, I did play here.......oh yeah....great little casino to play in when your trying to stretch your dollar and get the most action. We stumbled into this little gem when we were at Binions and I asked one of the dealers where we could learn how to play roulette cheap. He told me that there was 25 cent roulette at the GG! Wow 25 cents, can't get cheaper than that! The funny thing is that when we got there the Roulette table was full so we all sat down and played Blackjack. The minimums were about $5 for all table games which was a little disappointing since I was ready for my 25 cent games.....hey I know that sounds cheap but I was trying to learn damn it!! I get intimidated by Roulette & Craps.......too fast & people get all ticked when they sense you don't know what the hell you are doing!! So the Blackjack tables were fun & the dealers were nice & fun too! And wow the waitresses were speedy....always a plus! So I didn't try the famous cocktail but I did go back the next night and won about $180 on the 25 cent Wheel of Fortune game, besides the fact that I was playing it for about 3 hours!!!! I'm telling you I love these casinos where you feel like you are actually winning & that you have an edge over the house!!! I will be back again GG....thanks for the great times!
