As the oldest hotel-casino on Fremont Street, Golden Gate feels like an interactive museum. You are walking into history at the 1 Fremont Street property, which opened in 1906 and celebrated its 120th anniversary in January.

Recognizing history, as always, The Mob Museum is partnering with Golden Gate for a limited-time artifact exhibition. Opening Monday morning, the display gives a visual detail into Vegas’s casino history.

The exhibit includes a 1930s-era slot machine, an array of Prohibition-era liquor bottles, and a collection of ashtrays and matchbooks. The items are accompanied by interpretive panels, all installed in front of a historic image of the Fremont Street backdrop.
