Gold Coast Casino

Gold Coast Casino is very popular with locals and Vegas visitors. It has the largest bingo hall of any casino in Vegas as well as a 70 lane bowling attraction. Live entertainment plays nightly, either in the showroom or the lounge. Whether you're on vacation or here for a convention, check the sponsors on this page to get the best deals.

The Gold Coast Casino is located on west Flamingo just over the I-15 freeway. You can walk to the Rio next door, or the Palms down the street. The hotel offers free shuttles to the "Barbary Coast" on the Strip , and its sister casino, the Orleans, to the west. Shuttles run every 20 minutes, from 9:30 am to 12 am daily. There are acres of free parking, and 2 free self-park garages, or you can Valet park for free if you have lots of luggage.

Rooms are a good value with very comfortable beds. They range in size from 360 square feet to 720 square feet. Bathrooms are on the smaller side, but the vanity area is separated from the tub and toilet area. You'll find lots of towels, even a small window near the tub that opens for ventilation. This is very rare in Vegas hotels. Most hotel bathrooms only have a mild fan that really doesn't suck out all the moisture from the shower leaving mildew stains in them.

At the Italian restaurant, Arriva, you can get a free bottle of wine if you order 2 entrees after 8:30pm. The Monterrey Room has a 16 oz. steak that is worth getting; Monterrey is open 24 hours. Ping Pang Pong offers a variety of specialty dishes with cuisine from the different provinces of China. Other places to dine include the Cortez room with steaks and seafood, the Ports O'Call Buffet and Capt. Charlie's Oyster Bar. You can wake up to Seattle's Best Coffee; have dessert at Kate's Korner or fast food at Terrible Mike's.

As far as entertainment at the Gold Coast Casino there is plenty to see, hear and do. Enjoy the neon bowling with rock'n'roll on Saturday nights. The lounge offers Karaoke and dance bands. Friday and Saturday nights are hot in the showroom with a Latin band and lots of beautiful salsa dancers. You can also find great local talent and headliners performing in the showroom on a regular basis.

The casino gaming floor is vast and includes many of your favorite games like craps, blackjack, super fun 21, midi baccarat and more. There are over 2,100 slots and video poker machines and word has it, they are loose. The bingo hall has over 700 seats with lots of winners. Join the Players Club and use your card at the Orleans too. For a fun hotel at a budget price I recommend you stay at the Gold Coast Casino.
