Stayed at the Gold Spike for the weekend Friday-Sunday worst hotel experience of my life. The room was a dump very old, dirty ,tv didn't work leak in the tub and and it just looked run down and smelled horrible. They shouldn't rent these rooms for ANY price they couldn't pay ME to stay in them again. Save your money and book a hotel at a decent place in a nicer area.

You can get a room at this place for about $14.99 a night in a package deal, maybe less by now. No it's not for everyone; that SHOULD BE apparent by the price. But we have the usual moaning on here by people that think a hotel that costs 25% of the price of a HOSTEL in cities like NYC or San Fran should be above the quality of a Motel 6. Give me a break.
I'm a single female & I do agree that the area is a bit sketch but if you do like me and follow a touristy group walking west to the main touristy part of Fremont Street there's no reason to fear this part of the city. I have stayed further EAST and that gets much more frightening.
I needed a clean bed and a shower. i got that here. The food is insanely cheap it's not the healthiest but what do you expect for $1.99? Go someplace fru-fru, pony up a few more dollars, stay on the South Strip if you can't hack it here. There's a gazillion hotels in LV. If you're scared of the Spike there's LOTS of alternatives.

my friend and i stayed at the spike for one night, we arrived early afternoon the casino,bar and restaurant are very clean, which is very impressive considering the way the outside looks. we had gambled at the bar most of the day and the bartenders are wonderful.When my friend and i were returning to our room in the early morning, we were harrassed by security, a very rude man named ED. He made us feel like we were low lifes. I have never been treated like this at any hotel. We then checked out that day and finished our stay at the plaza. Your security needs to treat people with more respect
