Gaughan merged his Coast Casinos brand, which included the Gold Coast, with Boyd Gaming in 2004.Īlong with several other local casinos, Gold Coast closed its poker rooms in 2011 due to financial reasons. Several acts such as The Jordanaires and Forever Plaid have taken place at the casino's 490-seat Gold Coast Showroom. During the renovations, the resort's theme was changed from a dark country western gambling hall to a more modern gaming facility. The Gold Coast went through major renovations in 2002 that provided additional space for parking, restaurants and gaming. In October 1995, the largest jackpot in the state at the time, $10,918,881.00, was won by an anonymous man on a ' Megabucks' slot machine. It was the second major resort built on the west side of Interstate 15, ten years after Palace Station. Upon opening, the Gold Coast was the first casino to have a first-run movie theater in Las Vegas (the original MGM Grand had a theater screening MGM classics) and was specifically catering to the growing 'locals' market of the Las Vegas suburbs. It was the first casino built from the ground up by Las Vegas casino mogul Michael Gaughan, who already operated the Barbary Coast on the Las Vegas Strip. It is located across the street from the Palms Casino Resort and the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino.

The Gold Coast is located one mile (1.6 km) west of the Las Vegas Strip on West Flamingo Road.
