Golden Gate Casino Drops Live Table Games Amid Las Vegas Decline
Golden Gate, the oldest hotel in downtown Las Vegas, will remove all its live table games by the end of August 2025. The casino will replace them with electronic versions, possibly in a stadium-style layout. This follows an earlier decision to remove live craps tables from the venue. The move marks a shift away from traditional gaming in the area. By September 2025, only 11 downtown casinos will still offer live table games. In 2019, Las Vegas had 81 casinos with live tables, but that number will drop to 67 by late 2025.
Main Street Station will also reduce its live table operations, keeping them open only on weekends. Staff affected by the changes at Golden Gate will be reassigned to nearby properties like Circa, The D, or other departments within the company. The decision comes as visitor numbers decline. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority reported 3.1 million tourists in June 2025, an 11.3% decrease from the same month last year.
The removal of live tables at Golden Gate reflects broader changes in Las Vegas gaming. Fewer casinos now offer traditional table games, with many shifting to electronic alternatives. The move also follows a drop in tourism, adding to the challenges facing the city's casino industry.
