Tonight I am making a return to an off-Strip property and as you can see, that is the Gold
Coast. If you're familiar with the area where the Gold Coast is, you know that it's by the Rio
and a very popular topic of conversation these days which is The Palms, with their
reintroduction under new ownership. Today we have a Deluxe Two Double, and that is two double. The
room is a little bit small for my liking, but it is the same size as the Premium rooms. So Deluxe
or Premium -- same size, same bed choices. Let's look between the two beds. Not very many outlets,
so you're gonna have to have a power bank or something like that. You do have, over here,
the more out-of-date furnishings, which is probably the biggest difference between the
two rooms, Premium and this being a Deluxe. Here is the television.
The Premium rooms have a more sleek look. They are considered as being,
on their own website -- they said they are -- newly remodeled. Here is the safe in this room.
Even though it might not be the best aesthetic look, you do have plenty of storage for everything
you might need on an extended stay at Gold Coast. Let's look over here. You have seating for two.
Coffee, which is included in the room. And it being summer in Las Vegas,
it's about 110 right now, you gotta have some Summer Shandy handy.
Let's take a look at the welcome offering they had with the keys. You have
a map of the property, that's nice to have if you want to look at that. The Wi-Fi instructions -- by
the way, the free Wi-Fi is 5 Mbps speed. And the coupons. They have a new member signup bonus. A
glazed donut, hey. TGI Friday's, $10 off $50 or more, that's pretty good. Cornerstone Steakhouse,
$20 off $60 or more, that's excellent. Buy a bingo pack, get a free bingo blue pack.
Bingo's not my thing so that's something you might want to look into if you're interested.
Buy a game at regular price bowling, get one game free good for up to three games. And a keno
coupon. First of all, let's take a look outside. Do it a little backwards this time.
The reason I'm showing it, as you can see, there's not really a view here. On the other side
the view is actually much worse, it's just a concrete wall.
Into the bathroom this is a sliding door, so let's take a look. Bathroom exactly the same here in the
Deluxe as the Premium rooms. They run about the same price and for good reason. I can't really,
even though -- yeah, I'll take a Premium room just for the name only, Premium over Deluxe obviously.
The biggest difference between the two in the bathroom is right here. In the Premium rooms you
do have a shower/tub combo and in the Deluxe room, this is very nice, the walk-in shower.
And the Boyd special as I call it. You have the window out the bathroom shower right here.
So that's, I think, an apartment building right there.
One thing I had mentioned in my previous review of a room at Gold Coast which was, as I've said
many times I think now, a Premium room, is the shuttle service. What's a shame and really
a great disservice to people who would want to stay here is they discontinued the
shuttle service which was complimentary to The Orleans and The Fashion Show Mall on The Strip.
For a Friday night -- even though now you can't just get a free ride to The Orleans or The Strip,
which was by Treasure Island obviously -- this is what it costs. On a Friday night, $111.30 is
the base rate. $14.89 is the tax. $35.14 was the resort fee. And $161.33 was the total cost. Now,
you're getting that for a lower price on a weekend obviously because you're
off-Strip. If you want to stay somewhere like Mandalay Bay, you're gonna be spending much,
much more than that. For what it is, which is considered more of a locals casino,
the slots might be a little bit looser I guess you could say, and the video poker odds are
higher -- the pay tables. I recommend coming out to Gold Coast anytime. It's a fun place to play.
Thank you for watching.
