b"It is literally the original hotel in Las Vegas, built in 1906 and given the address 1 Fremont St.\\xa0 It was originally the Hotel Nevada, then in 31 it became a casino and was renamed Sal Sagev, Las Vegas backwards until 1955 when a group of Italian-Americans from San Francisco rethemed it into the Golden Gate.\\xa0\\nFast forward to today and this isn\\u2019t what you would expect out of a 110 year old property.\\xa0 This is the very definition of classic.\\xa0 It\\u2019s old without being dated, it\\u2019s small without feeling cramped and it's themed without being gaudy.\\xa0 Much of that can be attributed to it\\u2019s most recent owners, Greg and Derek Stevens.\\xa0 Their 2012 renovation may be the most subtle and functional ever in a place that doesn\\u2019t really have any space to grow.\\xa0 With 122 rooms Golden Gate is the smallest hotel/casino in Vegas on Fremont or the Strip but again, that somehow adds to it\\u2019s charm.\\xa0\\nAnd the future looks even brighter.\\xa0 The Stevens group\\u2019s recent acquisition of La Bayou next door seems to indicate plans for expansion of the Golden Gate.\\xa0 And the purchase of the Las Vegas Club, Glitter Gultch and Mermaids across the street makes it clear that they are making their claim to shape Fremont St as they see fit.\\xa0 Those who are fans of the D have reason to believe a players club card that connects all 3 properties is coming soon."
