I lived at the hotel for 9 months when I was working at the so,at plant Ivanpah, the three towers just before Stateline. I stayed at Whiskey Pete’s for 2 months but Whiskey Pete’s smelled like vomit, too many drunk construction workers but I would eat dinner at the bar only, the hot dogs. At Gold Strike, I paid $25 a night for a room. It had 2 queen beds a sofa, it was like 2 rooms but on the top floor. I was able to bring a microwave and a small refrigerator. The restaurants were just okay but I would drive the Old Las Vegas Blvd. to eat dinner, it was too depressing at Gold Strike. I loved to relax after work to get into the spa and pool. I wish they would have made the hotel into apartments for hotels employees.

I have many wonderful memories at that casino. Its sad to see thats how the Gold strike is left. It really says how much terribles cares. My mother worked there for 20-25 years as she raised me and my 2 brothers. That place meant alot more to me than just a casino or memory. The deserted wasteland is called Jean, NV. Cool video. RIDE ON!!!!!

HA! I was just there (where your video started out). I think it was a bit of a railroad dump at one time (a RR Stop for sure). That area is worth sifting, I found old overall buttons and several brass era doors buried in the dirt. Be careful though, that particular area is UPRR Property. And much of the land south of that is Clark County Dept of Aviation. The 'future airport' land is heavily posted so be careful. "Lucky" is Lucky Lager, a very prominent beer back in the 60's. The other beer can you picked up was a Schlitz (The Donna's sing about it), you can drink both of those after mowing your lawn. Yes, that was a rattler. My money says it was a Mojave Green. It's puffyness in this deceased instance was probably more from baking out in the hot sun. The 'brew' going on inside of it was already drawing flies. For all the desert exploring you do it wouldn't hurt for you to study up a little on how to identify what is and what is not a rattler, their behavior, what to do if you get bit and to wear gaters. The forlorn Gold Strike, modern, vandalized, ho hum. I think the land is slated for future warehousing and they're gonna knock the hotel down. At the 5:00 mark, those are trailers that hold gliders. Good video, keep on keepin on.

That “some sort of beer can” was clearly a Shlitz beer can. I recognized it immediately. Used to drink it as well. The fact that it was opened with an old “church key” (meaning a can opener that would punch those triangle holes in the top) really dates the can.

I've watched countless "abandoned" videos. What strikes me about this one is that the hotel was only abandoned in 2020, a period of only 3 years. Most "abandoned" videos are of places abandoned for up to a decade or even longer. It was likely COVID that put this hotel out of business and this means that we will have many newer abandoned sites to explore in the upcoming years. Pretty cool...

It's eerie how the furniture and stuff is still in there, looks like a zombie movie set or something. I wonder how many people are holed up in there. Looks like the Herbst family sold the property last year to some developer that plans to tear it down to build an industrial park.

That' hotel was weird. And wild to think someone decided it was cheaper to let it sit and rot then to try to sell off the equipment and furnishings. Back in the 70s I saw something sort of similar in terms of eerie / weird. A camping trip up to Canada and we stopped in an abandoned housing tract. Not movie style 'old ghost town' but a tract of houses very similar to the one I lived in at the time. Owned by a mining company as employee housing but the mine had closed. It was weird to walk among and inside those houses. Mostly moved out of but still had stuff here and there - bits of furniture, washers / dryers etc.

Tax write off for a corporation. I funny recall what hotel/casino corp owned the Guild Strike, but if they didn't sell it before it closed, each year it sits is a write off for fed taxes. Someone will decide they want it and buy it for an ungodly amount of $$$$$. I live in Las Vegas and my friends and I used to take off to the outskirts for the weekend. Gold Strike was the place we loved going to. It never failed for us to win large amounts of $$$$ there. That's where I won my first ever $1,000.00 royal flush on a bonus poker machine. 😁 Whiskey Pete's was another fun joint to start at to get away from Las Vegas for the weekend. Good times good times. 🎉

The Nevada Landing Hotel is where we would stay when we worked in Las Vegas (doing construction). We could stay there for around $20 a night mid-week when in LV it was much more. Gas was also a lot cheaper so the longer drive to work was not that bad. Eventually, my company opened a LV branch office and we did not have to go there as much... There was another hotel on the other side of the freeway where the gas station is at that was in the shape of an old paddle wheel river boat but it was torn down a long time ago...

Fun fact: The gas station has 60 restroom stalls. Wish he would’ve shown the two gold miner’s statues at 11:26 Regardless, he seems to have enjoyed himself. I miss exploring like this. PS: Here’s a funny story. In my city there’s a 90 year old tavern that opened to celebrate the end of Prohibition. It still had the original old-timey wallpaper like at 10:10 when it was bought by a new owner about 10 years ago. The owner wanted to keep the original look, but refurbish it. Since some of the wallpaper was in disrepair, he sought out the original design to replace it. When he couldn’t find the same color, which was kind of a mustard background with a maroon pattern, he had it custom made. It was later discovered/realized that the color of the wallpaper wasn’t actually the original color, but instead it had been gold like at this casino entrance, but was stained from 80 years of cigarette smoke. 😂

I remember back then there were 2 casinos in Jean, right across the road from each other. One was designed to look like a riverboat. That outdoor pool also had a nice, heated outdoor jacuzzi. Now both casinos are gone, but Jean still has the world's largest gas station & that Seven Magic Mountains attraction near Jean I think.

There's a huge parking lot, perfect for someone driving an oversize vehicle or motorhome or towing a trailer like I was. Inside the lobby, the collection of Hollywood movie cars and race trucks was cool to check out. Oh well, it was a decent place for the money and better than 'Vegas if you were on a budget.

I thought when the big Chevron opened, that it would cause that casino to flourish again; but that was wrong.

Most interesting things is a brave biker. You're very intuitive and curious. This definitely best video I've seen about Las Vegas. While working in Silicon Valley I've been in Vegas few times, but just as tourist not gambler. This is really eyes opening video about other side of glamorous Strip. Thanks for showing us real Las Vegas surrounding.

Great video as always, William. Years ago we stayed there, it was called the Gold Strike H & C. It was a busy place back in the 90's but started to slow down in the early 2000's. It will likely get torn down and rebuilt into a shiny new place. The Post Office nearby is in a town of 1 person, or so i heard sometime ago. Plus, the prison is very close, which made staying there a little tense. Thank you! 👍

Yes, it was the Gold Strike for many decades. I believe it was built in the late 1970's or so. Visited there in 1980's. Very eerie to think it's all gone now. Many decades of gambling there. I remember the 1¢ arcade there. 1¢ to play video games, pinball machines, and many others. I believe it was not called the gold strike originally. Can't remember the original name. This is concrete proof evidence that nothing lasts forever, everything comes to an end eventually.

@@truelies3690 Thanks, for your reply. We started going in the 90's, it was reasonably priced, maybe even cheap to stay there, and we always had a good time. We even got snowed in one time, that was pretty neat. Like you said, nothing last forever. Now this hotel/casino that was once filled with fun & laughter sets abandoned and will likely be torn down, and the Gold Strike will be only a fond memory for each of us to look back on. Happy Trails! 👍

Definitely a pit viper dead on the road. You can tell by the spade-shaped head vs. the streamlined head of, say, a non-poisonous gopher snake. Wonderhussy, a fellow youtuber visited the hotel a year or so ago and it was completely intact with a security guard's car parked on the premises. The owners must have given up hope.

@5:10 Those are container trailers for sail or glider planes, they house the planes with the wings separated prior to take off the wings are assembled and either small propeller planes and a rubberized winch is used to launch them into the air. So, higher end sailplanes have their own motors whether props or jets. Hotter climates such as Nevada or desert areas are perfect ideal environments providing thermals from heat that can keep a glider in the air for hours at a time.
