During an opening ceremony celebrated last week end, Derek Stevens and Mayor Carolyn Goodman commemorated the unveiling with a special ribbon cutting ceremony.
“We maintained some of the great historical themes, but we’ve added a number of more modern amenities,” CEO and owner Derek Stevens said after a ceremony.
The expansion is part of a series of projects expected to continue the revitalization of downtown Las Vegas.
Across from the Golden Gate, Stevens is working on a new hotel-casino project on the site of the now-closed Las Vegas Club and Mermaids. Meanwhile, the nearby Downtown Grand recently earned approval to build a hotel tower that will nearly double the resort’s existing room total.
Fremont Street Experience, a five-block entertainment district with access to casinos, is also expected to undergo renovations to its light show.
