Picked it as a cheap place to stay. Staff was great, the room as good as any budget hotel. Every one was happy with the hotel (3 friends were with me). An example of the service the staff picked up our scattered shoes and put the pairs nice and orderly in the closet. Something I have not seen at the... more

Two women travelling alone on a budget: Perfect! We payed $25.00 a night through Expedia. I expected the WORST after reading some of the reviews here, but was pleasantly surprised. We stayed on the non-smoking floor and had no issues with stale smoke. Yes, the room only had 4 channels, but we spent most of our time on Fremont St.... more

The Gold Spike is an under-rated downtown hotel that's perfect for college kids, people on a budget, or those who just want to have fun for cheap. If you're trying to impress your girlfriend/wife or you're terrified of seeing homeless people, stay at the Wynn and stop writing reviews about this property that have nothing to do with the actualy... more

The moment I went in I knew I had to write a review, for I had read many awful ones... Maybe I was expecting such a horrid hotel that it wasnt so bad but for me it was just what we needed. My boyfriend and I went to a convention on April 2007... we were both very happy with this... more

I stayed at the hotel last October and am planning on going again this year. All the reviews are correct. You can save some money, but you may be dissappointed with the accommodations. I didn't expect much and that was a good thing. The price was good, but the place is as described. Fortunately I was on the 5th floor... more

I just got back from a three week Las Vegas trip (yes, that's right, THREE weeks!). The duration of my and a buddy's trip was the reason for us to find the cheapest place possible. After doing some research, we found this place for an average of $30/night for the whole three weeks. Splitting it came to a spectacular $15/person/night... more

I went to Vegas for a week to play poker. The casino is dingy, dirty, smells and is somewhat unpleasant (but i came for the rooms not the casino). The gold spike had the cheapest rate that I could find so I booked it. It took a little time to check in as there is only one clerk. The elevator... more

I read all the 'mixed' reviews here and at a few other sites before deciding to gamble and book a weekend at the Gold Spike. This was Vegas, after all, so why not gamble on the hotel room, too? As far as I'm concerned, I hit the jackpot! Yes, this is an older joint. Yes, lots of locals do come... more

Our experience (my and I) was so terrible that I had to share it with everyone. We just returned home from our trip three days ago. We were set up by some bootleg travel agency(World Wide Travel Center) with this hotel. We entered a casino with smoke so thick that your hand could cut right through it not to mention... more
