9/27/2023 0 Comments Gold spike roomsWe arrived six hours early for check-in, and the Front Desk explained to us that either we could wait a few hours and get a non-smoking room, take a smoking room immediately, or pay $50.00 to upgrade to a suite immediately. For some reason, they have not taken down the ugly Travel Inn sign outside their "Oasis" wing. The only old vestiges of the old Gold Spike I noticed were the outside of the building (which does have a nice new sign) and the carpets in the room hallways. The restaurant had brand new furnishings and paint, and the rooms were completely redone. The casino itself was airy, had a brand new floor, and looked nicer than many of the properties downtown that have not been renovated as recently. It is clear that the Gold Spike truly considered this a top-down renovation: the “lobby” which was just a small-but-nice desk right off the casino looked new and classy. The Gold Spike does charge a $6.95 a night resort fee, however, the total, which came to just under $18.00 with this resort fee and room tax, was quite to my liking. I had no problem using the coupon on a Sunday night. After speaking with the front desk, it seems that a lot of (but not all) Friday and Saturday nights are blocked off. Please note that the American Casino Guide (the 2010 edition, at least) has a steal of a coupon for the Gold Spike- a $7.77 / a night room special. I am not sure what boutique means, however, the property fits in line with other places I have stayed at that define themselves as such. They proudly consider themselves a “boutique” hotel, and with 162 rooms (according to Wikipedia), it certainly seems to fit in that category. It is owned by the Siegel Group, which also operates the Siegel Slots and Suites. It is located at Las Vegas Boulevard and Ogden, about a 5 minute walk from the California or the El Cortez, or about 3 minutes to the Fremont Street Experience. I recently stayed at the re-opened and refurbished Gold Spike casino in downtown Las Vegas the night of November 14-15, 2010.
