The Golden Gate Hotel & Casino is located at One Fremont Street in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. It is the oldest and smallest hotel (122 rooms) included in the Fremont Street Experience, and is the first downtown casino to transition to all-electronic games in the city.
John F. Miller initially opened a temporary tent hotel – the Miller Hotel – on the property in 1905, while he planned to construct Hotel Nevada, a permanent hotel structure. The first record of Hotel Nevada being open is a blurb in Las Vegas Age on January 13, 1906. A casino operated within the hotel until a statewide gambling ban took effect in 1909. In 1931, the property was expanded and renamed as Sal Sagev ("Las Vegas" spelled backwards). In 1955, Golden Gate Casino, a separate business, opened on the ground floor of the hotel. The entire property was renamed as the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino in 1974 after the casino bought the hotel. It has been a consistently operating hotel and casino since 1955.
