Gold Spike Hotel and Casino

Gold Spike Hotel and Casino is a boutique 112-room, seven floor hotel-casino, connected with the Oasis at the Gold Spike, a 50-room three floor hotel located in downtown Las Vegas. It originally opened in 1976 as the 112-room Rendezvous. In 1983 Jackie Gaughan purchased the property after it had been closed for several months. The Gold Spike for years has been known as an inexpensive hotel with few amenities. On December 6, 2002 Gaughan and Barrick Gaming signed an AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE to sell the Gold Spike and three other casinos. This sale, along with several other downtown Las Vegas hotel/casinos, was completed in 2004, for a combined total of about $82 million. Barrick Gaming Corp was in partnership with Tamares Group....
