Golden Gate already has big plans for Fitzgeralds including a remodel of the property. Fitzgeralds is also somewhat unique in that it’s casino spans two floors. The Golden Gate owners plan to take advantage of this by theming the second floor into a “Vintage Vegas” theme. I’m not sure what this means, but I’m hoping it also is accompanied by such vintage Vegas ideas as lower limits and player friendly odds (yes, I realize I am dreaming).
Along with the purchase comes word that the name of Fitzgeralds will change. This makes sense as Fitzeralds is a national chain and the old owners probably will retain the name. Hopefully this also means an end to the neon rainbow on the side of the building. Regardless, it is so exciting to see so much going on to improve downtown. These days a Vegas trip isn’t complete without visiting Fremont St and these plans to freshen up the properties can only help.

This saddens me only b/c my wife’s maiden name is Fitzgerald and it was cute to have a casino ‘named after her family’. ah well.
