(Las Vegas).- In Las Vegas, the original hotel is commemorating its 117th birthday. In 1906, when it first opened as Hotel Nevada, daily rates for rooms were just $1. It is currently referred to as the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino and is a pioneer in the hospitality sector.
The hotel — also once named Sal Sagev, or Las Vegas spelled backwards — still has its original 10 rooms. One of the original ten rooms is available for your stay. But more than 100 have since been added, including two suites, and the property was expanded again to include a casino entrance from the pedestrian mall.
The first telephone in Las Vegas was installed by Golden Gate in 1907, and the company continued to operate throughout the Roaring Twenties, the Rat Pack era, and even the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, there are antique slot machines and an original telephone model in the lobby.
Rat Packers Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin were known to hang out at Golden Gate’s Bar Prohibition, which offered a free cocktail to the first 117 guests who mention the anniversary Thursday.
Derek Stevens owns both the oldest and the newest downtown Las Vegas casino, Circa.
When Las Vegas was just a railroad town 117 years ago, Stevens said that Golden Gate really put the city on the map.
“You made a pit stop in Vegas. You got off the train and ran. In one of the ten rooms, I jumped. After a restful night’s sleep, you take a shower and board the train to end your journey. But that’s exactly how Vegas got its start a long time ago,” he stated. It’s remarkable how it has affected not only Las Vegas history but also American history.”
