The Barbary Coast Hotel and Casino right at the center of the Las Vegas Strip offers a more economical and intimate option than its enormous neighbors. However, the Barbary Coast is home to the city's most acclaimed gourmet restaurant and erstwhile after-hours club, Drai's. A member of the Coast Casinos, the Barbary Coast proves popular because of its modest nightly rates and complimentary shuttle to the Gold Coast and Orleans Casinos. The modest casino offers numerous table games with many low-minimum tables. Novice gamblers will feel quite comfortable, too. Offering a boutique ambience, the Barbary Coast features only 200 guestrooms, where the hotel's "Old San Francisco" theme continues. The rooms are festooned with rich, Victorian-style décors with textured wallpaper, etched mirrors and stained-glass bathroom windows.
Besides Drai's, the Barbary Coast offers the AAA Four-Diamond Michael's, which serves traditional gourmet fare in a Victorian- style setting. Later at night, Drai's transforms into a popular after-hours club with a live DJ. Travelers delight at the Bellagio Hotel's water show across the street. Throughout the day, music and dancing waters entertain visitors who line up to watch the enormous, choreographed fountains.
The Barbary Coast is frequented by many return guests who enjoy the hotel's boutique ambiance, personal service and economical prices. What's more, the hotel is popular with young guests looking for budget accommodations close to all the action. Guests will receive complimentary Fun Books when they check-in at the Barbary Coast Hotel and Casino. The Fun Books include coupons for free cocktails, discounted meals and gifts, free souvenirs, free food, bowling games, and specials on bingo and table games.
