The San Francisco Shrimp Bar & Deli offers some of the best food in town�in fact, The Golden Gate is said to have introduced the shrimp cocktail to Las Vegas back in 1956 and has been serving its specialty ever since to satisfied customers. For even more traditional dining favorites, the Golden Gate also features the Bay City Diner.
