Its not cool, hip, new or interesting for most folks. It%26#39;s across the street form the Rio and 3/4 mile from the Palms (across the street). It%26#39;s west of the strip. Blackjack pays 2 to 1. Decent food if your not super picky. I%26#39;m staying there soon.

But it does look very clean and well-lit for an older casino. The dealers are very friendly. I think the buffet tends to lean a little too much on the pork side, but, like Bridgefan says, ';it%26#39;s fuel for the body';.

Since you mention in your other posts that you%26#39;re traveling with a 9 year-old, I%26#39;m going to say ';skip it';. Although there IS a bowling alley on premises...

Stay on the strip.

Thanks everyone for the info!!! I need all the advice I can get!

Au contraire. If you have a 9-year old with you, I%26#39;d definitely recommend the GC. The rooms are good-sized and all should be renovated by July 1. The buffet is decent and there%26#39;s a shuttle to the Orleans which has a movie theater.

The Gold Coast is a very basic, clean and safe hotel but nothing fancy. The pool is very small. It has a friendly and helpful staff. They have a shuttle that goes to Bill%26#39;s (on the strip) and another shuttle that goes to the Orlean.

Always had nice stays at GC. No, it%26#39;s not luxury, but that%26#39;s why it%26#39;s cheap. We like the restaurants, the casino, the people and the rooms are nice. We also like the fact that you can walk right across the street to Rio and Palms in five minutes, but sleep at one third the price at GC.

Geez, ive been there quite a few times and never saw 2 for 1 pay on BJ. haven%26#39;t been there in 6 months, better get over there next month.

Gold Coast.

PROS - clean rooms,loose slots, items in convenience store are cheap, friendly staff, shuttle gets you to the strip in about 5 minutes for free, way way cheaper than strip resorts %26amp; it is smaller than the big resorts so it only takes a few minutes to get anywhere.

CONS - its NOT a 5 star, you are not gonna get 1200 thread count sheets, the buffet is mediocre to low end, The casino is blah but Rio and Palms are so close by it doesnt matter.

Id stay there.

Good if you smoke and like to be around smokers. Small bathrooms, pool is a joke. Great booze shop.

For a good $ rate, better facility and location, check Hooters, Excalibur,Sahara. Imperial Palace for a similar environment to GC but midstrip.

Or,spend a little more and take a big step up at Luxor, MonteCarlo, Harrahs, Flamingo
