Golden Gate is back in action again with some dramatic changes and a new casino expansion.<\/p>\n

We took a peek behind-the-scenes at what were, until recently, walled off areas of Golden Gate’s casino floor.<\/p>\n

The casino’s floor is expanding into the space previously occupied by Du-Par’s restaurant.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
The Du-Par’s kitchen was at left, counter and tables to the right. Yes, we all miss the pancakes. Bright side: Pancakes never gave anyone a jackpot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Du-Par’s made an abrupt exit from Golden Gate<\/a> when the restaurant’s owner got into hot water with the I.R.S. for tax evasion. There are no plans to have a restaurant at Golden Gate anytime soon.<\/p>\n

The new floor space will accommodate an additional 50-60 slot machines, a significant number for a casino with a very small footprint.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
The door at back leads to Main Street, the one on the right to Fremont.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s one more look at the work-in-progress. The area will be accessible to the public in a few days, and slot machines will be brought in within a week.<\/p>\n

\"Golden<\/p>\n

Golden Gate regulars will notice another big change to the casino floor, a move of the casino cage.<\/p>\n

It’s moved closer to the hotel’s registration desk and valet entrance. Don’t forget to check out the old-timey slot machines on display nearby.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
Due to strict rules about capturing images of casino cages, we are unable to share this photo, sorry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next up at Golden Gate, an expansion of the high limit room.<\/p>\n

Currently, high limit is table games only, but with a move into the previous cage space, the high limit room will now include high limit slots.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
More room for high limit slots, or what we commonly refer to as our “retirement plan.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a look at the current high limit room.<\/p>\n

Our favorite part: The fringe on the walls was inspired by the fringe on the uniforms of the casino’s dancing dealers.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
This is the den we’d have if we were ambitious or even moderately successful.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The high limit room revamp is set to include some intriguing elements inspired (and necessitated) by the building’s original design features.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the other side of the construction wall. Golden Gate’s original arches will play a part in the design of the new high limit room. Now you know.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
There’s a chance these arches were around when Golden Gate opened in 1906, but we aren’t sure. We are a blog, not that guy in the Amish hat on “Pawn Stars.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The latest changes at Golden Gate follow on the heels of another recent, multi-million dollar expansion that integrated the former La Bayou casino space.<\/p>\n

That expansion also included a new entrance, loyalty club desk and beer distribution room. Of course, we got photos<\/a>. Do you know this blog at all?<\/p>\n

Golden Gate has managed to do a lot with a little, and we hear there are still more surprises in the works.<\/p>\n

Update (7\/11\/18): Golden Gate owner Derek Stevens has shared one of the “surprises,” a new sports book. We got a look at the space.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
It’s not much to look at now, but give it a minute.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The future sports book space sits behind a temporary wall at the south side of the recent casino expansion into the former La Bayou space.<\/p>\n

While we’re providing updates, here’s a look at the most recent casino expansion as slot machines were being installed.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
Not too shabby for a place that’s been around since 1906.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There’s more to come.<\/p>\n

Update (7\/12\/18): We said there was more to come!<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the expanded Golden Gate casino, complete with shiny new slot machines.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
The newest casino space in Las Vegas in the oldest casino in Las Vegas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oh, all right, just one more.<\/p>\n

\"Golden
Everyone loves that new slot machine smell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

See you at Golden Gate.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
