More Gold

I neglected to sum up the overall experience at the Golden Gate, but there are some important points worth sharing. First of all, the casino has a great bar called the Prohibition Bar and it has remain largely unchanged for years. Purportedly many famous people have tipped one back here and it is a pleasant place for a cocktail and a gamble. Unlike some places, they seem to want to give you a free drink. There are no meters or lights, just a friendly face. Sadly, if you are feeling hungry, you’ll have to go elsewhere as the hotel has no restaurant. Those with happy memories of Dupars or the Bay City Diner will be disappointed. There are no pancakes or shrimp cocktails here for any price. All those spaces are now filled with tables or machines, as is the space once occupied by La Bayou. This has nearly doubled the gaming floor but it is still a small casino compared to most of its neighbors. So, if you fancy a cold drink and want to play, the Golden Gate is a good choice. If you need a bite to eat, go somewhere else.
