Golden Gate is expanding its casino floor with a new high-limit slot room, the latest investment in owner Derek Stevens’ effort to reshape Las Vegas’ oldest hotel-casino around slots and electronic gaming.
The new high-limit area will officially open with a ribbon-cutting on Friday afternoon.
Its debut comes about a year after Golden Gate eliminated its traditional live dealer table games and launched its nightly “The Night Starts Here” promotion.
The promotion reached about 65,000 unique participants during its first year, accounting for roughly 200,000 redemptions, according to Stevens. Golden Gate has given away more than $4 million in free play and served approximately 682,000 complimentary drinks through the promotion, he said.
