GOLDEN GATE HOTEL HAPPY HOURS

Golden Gate is the oldest hotel in Las Vegas — open since 1906, which means it predates the Strip by about four decades and has outlasted nearly everything built after it. The shrimp cocktail is legendary, the history is real, and the location at the entrance to the Fremont Street Experience is as good as downtown gets. No happy hours on property right now, but that’s almost beside the point at Golden Gate. You visit for the history and the shrimp cocktail. For happy hours, step outside — you’re at the epicenter of downtown’s best options.
