Hopefully, when the new investors of The Golden Gate Hotel <\/strong>make the inevitable<\/em> “improvements,” they will leave the diner as is<\/em>. And what it is, is an authentic, on-the-street, “Big City<\/strong>” downtown diner.<\/p>\n

I’m not the only one who sees something special in The BAY CITY DINER<\/strong>: <\/em>
\n“The Golden Gate Hotel’s<\/strong> BAY CITY DINER<\/strong> has been used for a number of Motion Pictures by Hollywood: It appeared, along with many other classic Fremont Street casinos, in the film Honey, I Blew Up the Kid<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

“In the movie PAY IT FORWARD<\/strong>, Helen Hunt <\/strong>worked at The Golden Gate’s Bay City Diner<\/strong>.” The following is from yelp.com: “Have any of you seen the movie “Pay It Forward<\/strong>“? I did, but after I moved back to Boston in 2002. It was filmed in Las Vegas, and I remember flipping out when there was a scene with Helen Hunt as a change lady. At the Golden Gate<\/strong>. Well, Kevin Spacey’s character brings her flowers and they have the awkward “I like you but can’t really tell you” conversation, and then? They speak of the diner.” [all-sic] Read more<\/strong>… <\/a><\/p>\n

The diner’s Art-Deco interior with it’s dark wood & mirrors has a well aged patina that can’t be duplicated with nails & plasterboard and all the master-craftsmen in Las Vegas. Good gosh, leave something of the old Las Vegas…Especially when the something was “so good to begin with.’ Especially when that something is still very<\/em> good.<\/p>\n

There is a certain something <\/em> that an older building can impart to a human being. Familiarity of ones surroundings can sooth, calm and refresh us from the harshness of the cold world. Even the behemoth Las Vegas should – at least minimally – preserve emotional havens for it’s citizens.
\nLocals and casino workers etc. need a few anchors to keep them from drifting, so to speak. And most importantly, I need to check in at the Bay City Diner<\/strong> from time to time.
\nLas Vegas still has the Peppermill<\/a><\/strong> uptown. One wonders when that will fall to another pretentious, plastic palace?<\/p>\n
