Is the Gold Coast Worth It? Honest Review, Rooms & Rates

Just over a mile off the Strip, the Gold Coast is a welcoming locals' casino with a Victorian-style gambling-hall character - rich wood, brass fixtures and an easygoing crowd. It's all about value: cheap rooms, locals' prices on dining and gaming, and free self-parking. Sitting on Flamingo Road at the edge of Chinatown, it's also home to Ping Pang Pong, one of the best-regarded Chinese restaurants in the country.

There's plenty to do on-site, including a 70-lane bowling center - one of the largest in Las Vegas - and regular live music. One honest note: the free shuttle that once linked the Gold Coast and sister-property the Orleans to the Strip no longer runs, so plan on a short rideshare or a car. For travelers who want to be close to the action without paying Strip prices, it's a reliable bargain.

Insider tipIf you want room to spread out, book the 720-square-foot Executive 1 Bedroom suite - double a standard room, with a separate bedroom, a 55-inch TV, and rollaway beds and cribs available on request. Check the stated occupancy when you book, because the extra space doesn't automatically mean extra beds.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Gold Coast have a free shuttle to the Strip?

Not anymore - the free Gold Coast–Orleans–Strip shuttle no longer runs. Plan on a car or a 5-to-10-minute rideshare to the center Strip. The upside is that all the parking is free - self-parking and even valet - so driving in is easy on the wallet.

What does the Gold Coast resort fee cover?

The $45.34-a-night fee (including tax) covers Wi-Fi, the fitness center, the pool and hot tub, and phone calls. Self-parking stays free on top of it, so there's no extra charge for the garage or the pool beyond the nightly fee.

Is the Gold Coast a good base for eating in Chinatown?

Yes. It sits on Flamingo Road right at the edge of Chinatown, so Spring Mountain Road's restaurant row is only a few minutes away - and the hotel's own Ping Pang Pong serves cart-pushed dim sum that's repeatedly ranked among the best Chinese food in the country.

What is the Gold Coast like - is it an old-school casino?

Very much so. It's a Victorian-style gambling hall done in rich wood and brass, with an easygoing locals' crowd and regular live music in the lounge. It trades polish for character and value, which is why it draws budget travelers, bowlers and gamblers rather than resort-seekers.

Is the Gold Coast cheaper than staying on the Strip?

Usually, yes - rooms start around $38, with locals' prices on dining and gaming and free self-parking. Just budget for the $45.34 resort fee and, now that the shuttle is gone, a short rideshare each way if you want to be on the Strip.
