text: I've been going to the Golden Gate for years now for their amazing shrimp cocktails. It's been some time since my last visit and in that time they've renovated and added a whole new bank of rooms. Last night we were on Fremont for the Yelp Night of the Living Neon party and part of our passport was that if we took a tour of the new rooms we would receive a $25 match play. We entered the casino and our group was congregated around a slot machine that a friend of ours was playing. A casino host walked up and I figured for sure he was going to ask us to disperse. Boy was I wrong! He came up got us set up with players card and free shrimp cocktails in the new restaurant. For those of you that don't know there used to be a deli at the back of the casino that has now been removed and replaced by Du-Pars. Even beyond that he gave us each his card and said that when we return in the future to give him a call personally and that he can get us set up with whatever we need and want. Denise the gal that set us up with our players cards was extremely patient and amazing! \n\nDu-Pars was awesome our server was great, the shrimp cocktails are still the same great \"all killer no filler\" versions and I enjoyed the most amazing piece of strawberry cream cheese pie. Talk about OM NOM NOM's!\n\nNow on to the tour, we walk down to the new hotel check in (which was gorgeous by the way) and wait to be set up. As we're waiting Mr. Steven (the awesome host) came and gave us our match play tokens and waited with us before the tour. To our surprise we were given our tour by the President of Golden Gate hotel. NEVER in my years of visiting/living in vegas have i EVER met someone of that caliber. It was awesome! He gave us a 5 star tour and answered every question we had. He even went so far as to ask us our opinions and received them graciously. \n\nThe new rooms are gorgeous and totally worth the money, I will be keeping Golden Gate in mind for future stays on Fremont. The new renovations and decor is on point and the hotel/casino still has that vintage Vegas feel which i'm completely in love with. Great job Golden Gate for bringing your property into the modern day while not losing your roots!
