Golden Gate Hotel & Casino

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 at the Golden Gate.

Back to the Future, DeLorean seen on the streets of Las Vegas

The Delorean from Back to the Future arrived 1 year and 18 days early as opposed to the film’s version of October 21, 2015. Maybe it was going to visit Biff Tannen’s Pleasure Paradise Casino & Hotel, the above photos spotted the DeLorean  on W. Charleston near the I-15 on October 3, 2014.

Did you know, in the movie, Back to the Future Part II, the hotel tower of Pleasure Paradise was an existing casino, the Plaza in Las Vegas. Long shots of the Plaza/ aka Union Plaza were digitally combined with the courthouse as filmed on the Universal Studios back-lot.

Biff Tannen’s Pleasure Paradise Casino & Hotel was a fictitious casino and hotel founded and owned by Biff Tannen following his spectacular gambling winning streak, which was actually the result of being given Grays Sports Almanac by his older self in the 1955 of the alternate 1985 universe.
