Gold Coast Hotel & Casino is located in Las Vegas. It is also a world-famous landmark, largely due to its unique architecture. It resembles a luxurious historical palace. The hotel was opened relatively recently, in 1986. The casino is located in the hotel. It was one of the first in the region. The Gold Coast also became the first hotel with its movie theater in Las Vegas. The famous businessman Michael Gaughan was the founder of the hotel. He invested heavily in the hotel's facilities.

The hotel has become a real-world landmark over the years. One of the most striking events in its history occurred in 1995. An ordinary American student won the jackpot on one of the slot machines this year. Its amount was about 11 million US dollars. Such a big win was a real record for the state of Nevada.

The first major renovation of the hotel was completed in 2002. The area of its casino was significantly expanded. Several new restaurants were also opened. Despite its global fame, the Gold Coast has been experiencing serious financial difficulties in recent years. Several gaming rooms were closed in the casino due to this. But these difficulties do not threaten the work of a well-known hotel. The building in which the hotel is located was built in the likeness of colonial palaces. Beautiful arcades are special elements of its architecture. Luxurious stained glass windows adorn the building.

Massive wooden doors and other natural wood finishes make the hotel look even more like a historic building. The interior design of the hotel fully corresponds to its historical style. Marble floors with intricate patterns, massive furniture in the style of past years and huge chandeliers, a variety of works of art and rich fabrics – this design allows guests to be transported to the refined atmosphere of past centuries. The Gold Coast Hotel attracts the attention of not only gambling enthusiasts, but also world-famous film directors. It is featured in the movie "Mars Attacks".
