The Mural on this wall is dedicated to
Tony Hsieh
(1973-2020)

Tony Hsieh was a visionary who spent his life cultivating environments that were optimized for human connection, inspiration, and success. The ingredients necessary for what he considered ‘happiness’. His unique way of thinking, paired with his kind and generous spirit, helped him achieve feats once thought to be unimaginable. From building a leading global e-commerce and customer service company like zappos.com, to revitalizing an area of downtown Las Vegas that many had forgotten about. Please enjoy the landscape he spent much of his life investing in, and Tony would only ask that you be curious and kind.

Located at Main Street and Fremont Street is the Plaza, prior to the construction of the casino, part of the site was used for the first train station in Las Vegas, a Spanish style depot, constructed in 1906. It was replaced in 1940 with a Streamline Moderne train station designed by H. L. Gogerty, with a Union Pacific shield, and “Streamliners & Challangers” neon sign. This station was demolished in 1970 and replaced by the Union Plaza Hotel, which included a small waiting room to be used as a station for Amtrak trains.

The Golden Gate Hotel & Casino is located at One Fremont Street in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the United States. A part of the Fremont Street Experience, it is the oldest and smallest hotel (106 rooms) on the Fremont Street Experience.

John F. Miller initially opened a temporary tent hotel – the Miller Hotel – on the property in 1905, while he planned to construct a permanent hotel structure, which opened as the Hotel Nevada on January 13, 1906. A casino operated within the hotel until a statewide gambling ban took effect in 1909. In 1931, the property was expanded and renamed as Sal Sagev (“Las Vegas” spelled backwards). The casino reopened that year when gambling in Nevada was legalized again. In 1955, the casino was renamed as the Golden Gate. The entire property was renamed as the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino in 1974. The Golden Gate was known for its cheap shrimp cocktails, served from 1959 to 2017.
