The Golden Gate opened in 1906 as the Hotel Nevada. In 1907 it was assigned Las Vegas’ first telephone with the number 1.  Located a one Fremont street in downtown Las Vegas Nevada. It is the smallest hotel, 106 rooms, on the Fremont Experience. The Golden Gate was the first to serve a fifty cent shrimp cocktail in 1959. It continues the tradition today. There is the “Original Shrimp Cocktail” $1.99 and the ”Big” Shrimp Cocktail, made like the original, but using larger-sized shrimp, $3.99. A bargain at either price.

Update 6/25/2017: After Dupar’s closed, no more shrimp cocktails.
