This is not your upscale hotel, however the services are adequate if you do not want luxury. We stayed for 10 days and my complaints are only minor. The lighting in the very small shower area is very poor. I took showers in the dark. And
if you get a room low in the hotel that faces the south, you will have a view of a wall!

I liked staying off of the strip. We used the shuttle several times a day and were very happy with that service

If I were to return to Las Vegas, I wouldn't hesitate to use the Gold Coast.

We stayed at the gold coast for 4 days in september 07 when arriving from Norway after a 18 hour journey. Quick check in and nice room. Excellent and cheap buffet restaurant. It's a gambling hotel but quiet rooms and good service at the buffet. Shuttle bus every 15 min to The Strip. Problems with the water was fixed in a few minutes. Recommended !!

Stayed one night at the Gold Coast after three nights at The Mandalay Bay (I couldn't get a flight out). My rate was $28 so for that rate you can't complain. The bed was comfy but the 3 pillows on the King bed were very flat. Lots of hot water but the sink and shower area were tiny. My only complaint is the door did not have a dead bolt lock on it. Just the hook thing that you push over that if someone opens the door they can't get all the way in. I did not feel too secure. You could hear noise in the hallway too.

Casino was very good. Great watiress service and pretty friendly dealers. Check in and check out was a breeze. There is also a great ice cream place in the lobby that is a good value.

There is also a walkway to the Rio and the Palms is across the street. Like I said for $28 for the night it beats hanging out in the casino all night waiting for my very early flight the next morning.

Stayed at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino for a combination business/pleasure trip. Here's a few thoughts -

1. Great Staff! - We straggled into the place at midnight due to cancelled flights and rebookings. The front desk supervisor (Jane Willey??) took a look at us and without us asking, upgraded us to a suite for our four night stay! Thanks!!!

2. The Room - Okay...Needless to say -the suite was nice. Lots of room - clean - and a decent view of the city. Two bedrooms and a couple of TV's were also nice too!

3. Gambling was good. This was an off strip property and we noticed lots more people here gambling than at the strip hotels. Low limit table games and after a bit of time we found the low denomination slot games that gave us lots of action

4. The food -

Ping Pang Pong - Authentic Chinese. Perhaps a little too authentic for those of us not immersed in the culture and food.

Ports of Call Buffet - Decent food - good price - what else do you want?

Monterey Room - Good coffee shop withs solid, middle of the road food for good prices.

5. Convenience

The Palms and The Rio are adjacent to this hotel and an easy enough walk. There are also free shuttles to the strip and to the Orleans. We found good gaming at The Orleans and it looks like a good property that might be worth staying at.

6. Summary

Have never stayed off strip before. The Gold Coast is not a 5 star property and doesn't pretend to be. However, if you are looking for a decent room and good casino with convenient connections - this is an excellent choice. I would definitely stay here again!
