If you're looking for a less frantic pace than the strip this is the place to go. I found the staff very friendly and helpful,the room a little small but very clean and everything in working order. They have several restaurants to choose from and a buffet that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
If you tire of the Gold Coast, the Palms and the Rio hotels are across the street, and the hotel offers free shuttle service to the Orleans and the Barbary Coast which is located on the strip. I plan on going back.

I was very worried about booking at this hotel, BUT was pleasantly surprized and pleased. Our room was very clean and spacious, a bit dated, but who cares, you are not buying the place - and the beds were the most comfortable we slept in after travelling all over the world. Check in was really good and quick, the casino very bright and not smoky, and the shuttle was so easy to visit the strip. I would certainly stay here again, so if you want value for money, cleanliness, and peace and quiet, after the strip, stay here. The only downside, was that some of the staff in the Monterey restaurant, and one girl serving in Seattle Coffee shop, had a bit of an attitude problem. Apart from that, everything was great, and the Americans there, loved listening to our English accents, which was really nice.

The Gold Coast was actually much better than I had expected quality wise. The room was very clean and spacious. The casino was large and spacious and the staff was amazingly friendly. The food options were limited but I never ate dinner there with all the other options on the strip and in near by hotels.

This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a quality hotel room for a fraction of the price. You are not on the strip but the Palms Casino and The Rio are right across the street. I would definately recommend the Gold Coast and will personnaly go back.

I give it only four stars because there are many other hotels in Las Vegas that warrent a score of Excellent. The Gold Coast is older but definately not aged.

Because of the low price we were expecting that we may be making a mistake, but is sounded great for everyone in our family, especially the bowling alley for the kids, and the pool, etc. We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival when we were upgraded to a suite, and the suite was huge and really made a difference for us, the vacation was a big hit. This was a wonderful value and the hotel was close to my seminar and not far from the strip - it was kind of nice not to stay in the hustle/bustle of the strip, alot easier to get around. Highly recommended!
