History
The Gold Coast was built in 1986. It was the
second major resort built on the west side of I-15. It also
was the second Coast casino built after The Barbary Coast. The
Barbary Coast was built in 1979 by Michael Gaughan. In October
2006, Boyd Gaming and Harrah's Entertainment traded the
Barbary Coast for the former Westward Ho Hotel and Casino and
adjacent property, so they would be able to build Echelon
Place. In March 2007, the Barbary Coast officially changed its
name to Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon.
The Gold Coast received a major upgrade in
2002 that provided additional space for parking, restaurants,
and gaming. The Gold Coast has also recently remodeled some of
its rooms and is in the process of adding a new restaurant,
T.G.I. Friday's.
