LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The Golden Gate Hotel and Casino is celebrating 120 years of service as Las Vegas’ oldest continuously operating casino.
The hotel, which originally opened in 1906 as the Hotel Nevada, still stands on its original foundation and contains pieces of history throughout the building. Hotel officials say Las Vegas wouldn’t be the same without it.
“So I think what’s amazing is you’re standing in this little humble room. This literally is the birthplace of Hotel Casino Gambling as Las Vegas knows it today,” Jeff Victor, VP of Operations told FOX5. “The fact that it still exists is part miracle, I guess. And part because this was the first cement building to be built in Las Vegas.”
The Golden Gate’s longevity sets it apart from other hotels and casinos across Las Vegas that have their own claims to fame.
