It was the second major resort built on the west side of Interstate 15, ten years after Palace Station. Upon opening, the Gold Coast was the first casino to have a first-run movie theater in Las Vegas (the original MGM Grand had a theater screening MGM classics) and was specifically catering to the growing 'locals' market of the Las Vegas suburbs. It was the first casino built from the ground up by Las Vegas casino mogul Michael Gaughan, who already operated the Barbary Coast on the Las Vegas Strip. It is located across the street from the Palms Casino Resort and the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino. The Gold Coast is located one mile (1.6 km) west of the Las Vegas Strip on West Flamingo Road. This locals' casino is owned and operated by Boyd Gaming.
