Stay in Jackie Gaughan's suite!

[carolineno]

Would anyone here ever reserve this?! Sounds like a swinging place for a VMB meetup if any high rollers want to donate! Price is right, wish they had a shot of the kitchen though. http://www.latimes.com/travel/deals/la-tr-las-vegas-cortez-hotel-gaughan-suite-20170117-story.html

omg really? Thought you were effing with me but I see an intercom - so lovely - dead -

$500 a night is on par with a lot of less luxurious and certainly less historic rooms on the strip.

It almost looks like very little has been changed, which is a little bit creepy.

I wonder what Michael and Brendan think about this.

Well, just when I think I have done it all- Fremont gives me another reason to come home! How amazing. For those of us that are true Jackie fans, this is an amazing opportunity. Off to Southwest to get return tickets.

More great pics on LA Times of the Suite.

This is awesome news - during really bad blackjack streaks I have joked with the blackjack pit bosses that they should be comping me Jackie's suite instead of a Tower room. I'm gonna save up some money and spend a night here sometime!

looks nice but don't think I could get over the feeling of him living there almost to his and his wife's death
bargain at $500/night

Part of me feels a bit weird about it, but Elco doesn't seem to be over-hyping it. I imagine that if it stays off the menu so to speak, only true fans who would honor the suite, Jackie, and old Vegas in general would stay there. Maybe wishful thinking on my part. Gonna ponder staying here for my birthday!

Wonder if Bugsy Siegel slept there too.

At least the appliances aren't avocado green or gold!

I love the range. That would be pre-1979 as it still has the GM branding, That was the last year appliances were made like automobiles. Given that he probably didn't use it much, it may even have collector value. (Yes, people do collect appliances). I spent my teen years working at a place that sold Frigidaire appliances and Zenith TVs.

I would love to stay there and have a gathering...so cool.

In my tour of his empire I have stayed at Ogden House, Vegas Club, Plaza and Western. Haven't stayed at ElCo yet...the JG Suite would be a nice way to end the tour.
