I lived at the hotel for 9 months when I was working at the so,at plant Ivanpah, the three towers just before Stateline. I stayed at Whiskey Pete’s for 2 months but Whiskey Pete’s smelled like vomit, too many drunk construction workers but I would eat dinner at the bar only, the hot dogs.
At Gold Strike, I paid $25 a night for a room. It had 2 queen beds a sofa, it was like 2 rooms but on the top floor. I was able to bring a microwave and a small refrigerator. The restaurants were just okay but I would drive the Old Las Vegas Blvd. to eat dinner, it was too depressing at Gold Strike.
I loved to relax after work to get into the spa and pool.
I wish they would have made the hotel into apartments for hotels employees.
Good times
I have many wonderful memories at that casino. Its sad to see thats how the Gold strike is left. It really says how much terribles cares. My mother worked there for 20-25 years as she raised me and my 2 brothers. That place meant alot more to me than just a casino or memory. The deserted wasteland is called Jean, NV. Cool video. RIDE ON!!!!!
Stayed in the parking lot many a night or at the truck stop if I was low on gambling funds. Great memories
I still can't believe Jean is basically gone off the map
Hard to see a part I f your life abandoned and decrepit!
Wow!
That “some sort of beer can” was clearly a Shlitz beer can. I recognized it immediately. Used to drink it as well. The fact that it was opened with an old “church key” (meaning a can opener that would punch those triangle holes in the top) really dates the can.
Thanks Grandpa
anyone rember PEARL ,FALSTAFF😂😂
@@bulldawg7232 You’re welcome, young whippersnapper. 😁
@@PoesRaven73 😆
I noticed that too. My grandfather drank Schlitz
HA! I was just there (where your video started out). I think it was a bit of a railroad dump at one time (a RR Stop for sure). That area is worth sifting, I found old overall buttons and several brass era doors buried in the dirt. Be careful though, that particular area is UPRR Property. And much of the land south of that is Clark County Dept of Aviation. The 'future airport' land is heavily posted so be careful.
"Lucky" is Lucky Lager, a very prominent beer back in the 60's. The other beer can you picked up was a Schlitz (The Donna's sing about it), you can drink both of those after mowing your lawn.
Yes, that was a rattler. My money says it was a Mojave Green. It's puffyness in this deceased instance was probably more from baking out in the hot sun. The 'brew' going on inside of it was already drawing flies. For all the desert exploring you do it wouldn't hurt for you to study up a little on how to identify what is and what is not a rattler, their behavior, what to do if you get bit and to wear gaters.
The forlorn Gold Strike, modern, vandalized, ho hum. I think the land is slated for future warehousing and they're gonna knock the hotel down.
At the 5:00 mark, those are trailers that hold gliders.
Good video, keep on keepin on.
I've watched countless "abandoned" videos. What strikes me about this one is that the hotel was only abandoned in 2020, a period of only 3 years. Most "abandoned" videos are of places abandoned for up to a decade or even longer. It was likely COVID that put this hotel out of business and this means that we will have many newer abandoned sites to explore in the upcoming years. Pretty cool...
It was closed by covid. Or truthfully, the shutdown caused by the plandemic. I have a lot of family in Vegas so I go out there a couple times a year atleast. Terrible's was my go to place for breakfast buffet on my way out of town. It was honestly, the only casino I consistently won money at the slots.
@@debbied7035Truthfully, you're a paranoid nut. That place was a dump for the dregs passing through.
@@debbied7035"Pandemic" sure okay Trump cultist
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 ok
Not cool… our government shut this business down for no good reason… someone who worked had his ability to provide and build for his family ( being responsible for him self) stripped to get rid of one man!!
That was a Mojave green rattlesnake.
Nope sorry- it's just a Western Banded Rattlesnake!
Nope that’s definitely a Mojave Green.
@@deancaskey5782I agree, Mojave Green…
His name was Fang, and he was my friend.
@@allenatkins2263 I have six Mojave Rattlesnakes at the moment! Two western Diamondbacks and a Sidewinder! I catch tag and release them! Here in my city the animal control only has 5 officer's for a three county area! Spanning several hundred miles! I live in the neighborhood so it's faster for me to get them removed before any harm is done to people n pets!
March, 2020... governments around the world started putting out, "closed," signs, and this place didn't mess around. Exactly like you said, they're like, "okay, everyone, clock out & go home. Byeee." They knew what was coming and decided not to bother wasting resources trying to deal with it all.
They could at least have preserved everything...so sad.. they could put a sign out for free furniture/ TVs have people sign a waiver, and get it cleaned out for free. If I owned it, that's what I would do.
I dated a girl who was a cocktail waitress there in the 90's. It was a nice escape from the town going out there on weekends.
Nice video ! Word to the wise, don't leave your bike unattended, even within eyesight !!! There is a VERY good possibility someone lives at that hotel, and could make off with your bike in a flash !!! You'd be powerless to stop them, especially if you are as far away as you were. Thanks for the great video !
I live by Dallas and I was thinking the same thing!
Great video! I can still remember me and my husband staying there years ago. It was called "Gold Strike". I just think it's so sad when vibrant places close down only to be forgotten.
I’ve stayed at Terrible’s a dozen times. They had a cool bar with live music. They had a dope car collection inside the casino. The steak house was pretty good!
I worked for the Terrible Herbst Gas Stations in Vegas from 2003-2005. The Herbst family is big in racing, and not so big in securing their properties, obviously. Sad to see the old casino in such disrepair. Very upsetting.
I agree. I worked at the hotel.
Considering how many people are homeless, it could be renovated as a shelter these days, instead of going to rot.
@@SpotTheBorgCat Buy it and make it happen!!!
@@agentorange2554 I wish I had that kind of MONEY!!
@@SpotTheBorgCat The government has that kind of money. The problem these days is liability and risk of being sued.
Great video, thx again!
This was super cool ! I always enjoy watching your content! Thank you for taking us on your adventure!
I remember going in there a bunch back when it was the Gold Strike. I didn't know that closed down. It's eerie how the furniture and stuff is still in there, looks like a zombie movie set or something. I wonder how many people are holed up in there.
Looks like the Herbst family sold the property last year to some developer that plans to tear it down to build an industrial park.
Chinese industrial park
Anyone who builds an industrial park in a desert is in for a rude rude awakening.
@@billtomson5791 LOL, so you don't think there is any industry in Las Vegas?
@@_Coffee4Closers I'm glad if there is, I just hope they never run short of WATER.

I’ve driven that highway more times than I can count and I always wanted to explore the way you did. Great job. Fun fact. That 7up bottle you found was a special bottle used for vending machines, which leads me to believe there was some gas station and mechanic shops in that area.
I stayed in that Hotel Casino 3 times a week as a truck driver when it was the Gold Strike and also at the Nevada Landing across the freeway where that huge gas station is now. Lots of memories, they both were busy and the room rates were very reasonable. Thanks for a look now of what once was a part of my daily life for almost 10 years.
Yeah, Nevada Landing had a Sunday buffet with crab legs and shrimp. Never stuck a dime in the machines, busted my butt to get ahead of schedule so I could hit that buffet on Sundays. Couldn't believe it when it closed and was tore down.
That was a rattlesnake, but someone already got the rattle off of it. Nice video, impressive bike, hadn't seen one of those in action before. Thanks.
An amazing adventure thank you for sharing this video with us.
You are putting that Cyrusher ebike thru its paces. I love mine. Thanks for sharing the the old containers. Brings back memories. Your delivery of your experience is so cool.
Thanks! They make a pretty solid unit!
Cool, it's crazy that nothing was removed when they decided to close permanently.
I’ve been around that terribles casino. Those camera pools actually have a loudspeaker on them it told me to leave.
But that’s really cool that someone finally posted something about this
Next time you should go inside
Fun fact: The gas station has 60 restroom stalls.
Wish he would’ve shown the two gold miner’s statues at 11:26
Regardless, he seems to have enjoyed himself. I miss exploring like this.
PS: Here’s a funny story. In my city there’s a 90 year old tavern that opened to celebrate the end of Prohibition. It still had the original old-timey wallpaper like at 10:10 when it was bought by a new owner about 10 years ago.
The owner wanted to keep the original look, but refurbish it. Since some of the wallpaper was in disrepair, he sought out the original design to replace it. When he couldn’t find the same color, which was kind of a mustard background with a maroon pattern, he had it custom made.
It was later discovered/realized that the color of the wallpaper wasn’t actually the original color, but instead it had been gold like at this casino entrance, but was stained from 80 years of cigarette smoke. 😂
@@ImaRandomFemaleOnly if you believe Hydrogen fuel cells won't replace that technology or if it will be abondoned yet again as it has in the past! Or do you believe that one thought of it until this century? When i was 3 years old we had electric buses that's over 60 years ago "Trolley buses" not batteries but overhead cables like trams, Which is what we need around our cities and travel for free money comes out off the tax
That is not the biggest gas station
11:11 those mattresses look fairly new! What a shame. Seems like they could've made some money selling alot of that stuff when they first closed.
@@justotalkalottashit8392 Definitely!
Great video as always. Thanks for sharing!!
What an interesting tour. I had no idea that LV Blvd went that far out. I'm glad YT recommended the vid. Thanks for the entertainment.
Nostalgic video for me. Thanks for posting. My brother & I stayed at Nevada Landing in Jean several times between 2000 and 2010 because I kept getting free room offers & it's not too far to use as the starting point for trips to the strip, Henderson & Summerlin. I remember back then there were 2 casinos in Jean, right across the road from each other. One was designed to look like a riverboat. That outdoor pool also had a nice, heated outdoor jacuzzi. Now both casinos are gone, but Jean still has the world's largest gas station & that Seven Magic Mountains attraction near Jean I think.
Wow, those first couple rooms still looked so clean! So eery that everything just sits there untouched.
Buc-ees has the record for the worlds largest gas station now 120 Pumps in Sevierville, Tennessee.
What an exciting region to explore! Great views!
Thanks for rolling around and showing us that.
That is something I would get myself up too doing before last year
when I was diagnosed with heart problems and unable to ride my bike any longer
Riding my bike and exploring was my favourite thing to do
I am living vicariously through you!
Thanks again!
Super awesome. Keep on exploring 💫
Wow Trooper, that is an Urbex extravaganza, I know that places like these can get real sketchy but I remember stopping there a couple of times after coming back from Cali.
Las Vegas is such a weird place when it comes to abandoned buildings. We used to live there up until February 2017.
We stayed here once on a trip back from Las Vegas to LA on Thanksgiving weekend. It was a tragic, hot mess. The traffic took 18 hours to get back to LA so we ended up staying here. The laundry was sitting in the hallway. The ceiling height was only about six or 7 feet there was only one restaurant open a Denny’s that had three hour wait times Mold on the air conditioner and it was $35! So glad we came across your video!
😆
Kind of spooky. Especially the view of the curtains blowing out of the broken windows. It's sad though. I can't believe how much trash is out in the desert.🤯. There used to be a beer called Lucky Lager. Maybe that can is one of them. Or not. ???
Love your bike. It really zooms along. Thank you for another great video William.☮️💖🎶
Love this! Your channel is a God send for me! I was born in Las Vegas. I grew up in Las Vegas but i moved away about 10 years ago and one thing I really really miss is exploring everything around Las Vegas. New subscriber here!
That place was like a World removed.
What a shame.. as an Arizona resident and a worker that worked in Nevada for the early years of my career I remember these hotels. It was the first and last thing you saw from Nevada .. I always looked forward to this … sad to see this
Are you thinking of the casinos at Primm, this is the old Gold Strike out at Jean.
Thanks for the adventure man! Keep it up!
Thanks for the fun tour ,I am 66 yrs young wish they had Your bike back when I was a kid.Thanks for posting,😊
Amazing video as always!
The Nevada Landing Hotel is where we would stay when we worked in Las Vegas (doing construction). We could stay there for around $20 a night mid-week when in LV it was much more. Gas was also a lot cheaper so the longer drive to work was not that bad. Eventually, my company opened a LV branch office and we did not have to go there as much... There was another hotel on the other side of the freeway where the gas station is at that was in the shape of an old paddle wheel river boat but it was torn down a long time ago...
@richardfowler3254
Nevada Landing, the hotel in which you stayed, was the one that looked like a Paddle wheel river boat.
Enjoyed watching your video. Always kind of eerie to see abandoned hotels and buildings!!
Thanks for sharing with us 🙏
Stayed at Terrible's a few times and even been to the gas station. The casino had a collection of show cars including one of the original Batmobiles. There are several off road racing vehicle inside the gas station as well as a huge walk in beer cooler.
That was AMAZING! to see the hotel like time stood still.
Brand new sub. Looking forward to watching more videos. Love this abandoned exploring stuff.
I hear Ya Man! When we head out to the desert it's a blast and love seeing the remains of the past.
Great editing by the way,
Your new sub in SoCali
That hotel looks like it could easily be converted into apartments. Crazy.
“Easily” costs a lot of money.
@@JA3bONEWell it cost considerably more to build from scratch but I do agree it would be expensive to retrofit.
@@jtwood4925 yea especially out there in the desert.
@@JA3bONEYou might be amazed where some people live in Nevada and Arizona. I lived out there about 10 years ago and I remember seeing trailers all over the place out in the middle of nowhere.
That' hotel was weird. And wild to think someone decided it was cheaper to let it sit and rot then to try to sell off the equipment and furnishings. Back in the 70s I saw something sort of similar in terms of eerie / weird. A camping trip up to Canada and we stopped in an abandoned housing tract. Not movie style 'old ghost town' but a tract of houses very similar to the one I lived in at the time. Owned by a mining company as employee housing but the mine had closed. It was weird to walk among and inside those houses. Mostly moved out of but still had stuff here and there - bits of furniture, washers / dryers etc.
Tax write off for a corporation. I funny recall what hotel/casino corp owned the Guild Strike, but if they didn't sell it before it closed, each year it sits is a write off for fed taxes.
Someone will decide they want it and buy it for an ungodly amount of $$$$$.
I live in Las Vegas and my friends and I used to take off to the outskirts for the weekend. Gold Strike was the place we loved going to. It never failed for us to win large amounts of $$$$ there. That's where I won my first ever $1,000.00 royal flush on a bonus poker machine. 😁
Whiskey Pete's was another fun joint to start at to get away from Las Vegas for the weekend.
Good times good times. 🎉
@@BabyMonkeyDefender They used it for a tax write-off for that gas station.
Thank you for the video it’s really cool that I get to see different places through your videos
Yes, thank you for the ride!
Interesting vid.
Opened in 1987. I had been there several times. It, along with around 142 acres, sold for $44,700,000. Their plans are to demolish the hotel (what a shame) and turn it all into an industrial park.
An industrial park? Wonder what they will be making. Doesn’t really look like an industrial park there would be successful either.
Thanks for opening date. Yes. I stayed there in December 1989. Really cheap price. Room was like new.
Nice video! Hadn’t ever seen someone on a E bike before. Very smart for exploring!
Thank you!! I love your bike! Thanks for sharing ❤
I was wondering what happened to it. I stayed there for an overnight trip probably a year or two before they closed up. It was a decent hotel, more of a truckers hotel. There's a huge parking lot, perfect for someone driving an oversize vehicle or motorhome or towing a trailer like I was. Inside the lobby, the collection of Hollywood movie cars and race trucks was cool to check out.
Oh well, it was a decent place for the money and better than 'Vegas if you were on a budget.
Most interesting things is a brave biker. You're very intuitive and curious. This definitely best video I've seen about Las Vegas. While working in Silicon Valley I've been in Vegas few times, but just as tourist not gambler. This is really eyes opening video about other side of glamorous Strip. Thanks for showing us real Las Vegas surrounding.
This place he went is NOT in Las Vegas.
It's like 50 miles down the interstate.
Another great video mate. I do enjoy the bike rides.👍
Loved your video. That would be so cool to explore. Thank you.
In case nobody else responded to your question about what you were seeing at that airport.
That’s Jean airport and the trailers you saw are for storing and ground transporting sailplanes (gliders).
Jean is home to Las Vegas Soaring Club.
Just reading comments and you sound like someone that would know..... Isn't there a prison right there in Jean?
@@sherrellbennett1333
There is.
I don’t know if it’s active or not though.
Seeing buildings like that makes me so sad. What a waste. :(
Hey man thanks for the tour great stuff 💯✌️
Another great video!
The trailers that was in a distances was for transporting Sail planes.
Cool place !
Look for more abandoned places !
So cool tour. Thanks
Super interesting👍 Love these Abandoned stuff
I need a mattress like that!
They were still in the plastic lol
Smashing the like button for the support of the channel
Post apocalyptic....really cool to see. Closed not long ago yet breaking down noticeably already. I'm surprised it isn't full of homeless.
Too far away from public resources
Pretty neat video, thanks for documenting it!!
Awesome video. I stayed there back in 2004 it was busy.
I love how you respect the wishes of the owners. It says "Do not trespass", and you did exactly that. I've seen videos where people have entered this place, although it says clearly not to. Nice work. I remember when Nevada Landing closed just opposite of the 15 where that casino sits, and I always said, it's just a matter of time before the Gold Strike also closes. I thought when the big Chevron opened, that it would cause that casino to flourish again; but that was wrong.
If the sign says don't do it, then that's what I do! 😂
Great video as always, William. Years ago we stayed there, it was called the Gold Strike H & C. It was a busy place back in the 90's but started to slow down in the early 2000's. It will likely get torn down and rebuilt into a shiny new place. The Post Office nearby is in a town of 1 person, or so i heard sometime ago. Plus, the prison is very close, which made staying there a little tense. Thank you! 👍
Yes, it was the Gold Strike for many decades. I believe it was built in the late 1970's or so. Visited there in 1980's. Very eerie to think it's all gone now. Many decades of gambling there. I remember the 1¢ arcade there. 1¢ to play video games, pinball machines, and many others. I believe it was not called the gold strike originally. Can't remember the original name. This is concrete proof evidence that nothing lasts forever, everything comes to an end eventually.
@@truelies3690 Thanks, for your reply. We started going in the 90's, it was reasonably priced, maybe even cheap to stay there, and we always had a good time. We even got snowed in one time, that was pretty neat. Like you said, nothing last forever. Now this hotel/casino that was once filled with fun & laughter sets abandoned and will likely be torn down, and the Gold Strike will be only a fond memory for each of us to look back on. Happy Trails! 👍
I'm amazed that the TVs are still intact haha.
I lived in Vegas for many years, you made me miss it with this video.
I imagine Hollywood set decorators would love to get their hands on the room decor. I used to stop there on my way back to SOCAL in try and win at least a hundred back in mid 2000’s. I played slots and they were pretty good to me. Nothing to write home about but I’d usually get a C note to cover gas. Most I ever won was $350. Always had the old Vegas feel to it.
Great vid. I went there in the 90s.
@5:10 Those are container trailers for sail or glider planes, they house the planes with the wings separated prior to take off the wings are assembled and either small propeller planes and a rubberized winch is used to launch them into the air.
So, higher end sailplanes have their own motors whether props or jets.
Hotter climates such as Nevada or desert areas are perfect ideal environments providing thermals from heat that can keep a glider in the air for hours at a time.
When you said "Lucky" you sounded like Napoleon Dynamite when he was talking to Pedro about his Sledgehammer bicycle LOL...cool video by the way
I'm too old to do this kind of stuff now. Your video is the next best thing.
Cool tour
Definitely a pit viper dead on the road. You can tell by the spade-shaped head vs. the streamlined head of, say, a non-poisonous gopher snake. Wonderhussy, a fellow youtuber visited the hotel a year or so ago and it was completely intact with a security guard's car parked on the premises. The owners must have given up hope.
Sold to Chinese.
Awesome as always.
I really enjoyed the presentation of your day, that hotel is beyond creepy
Wow this is crazy to see! I was in and out of that place for work not too long before the shutdown, I can't believe it looks like that already. I also didn't realize there was so much historic activity down there with all the dumps. Maybe from service stations or railroad stops in the area? I didn't think there was much of a town or mining rush down there at all. Great adventure!✌
The whole area around Jean and Primm is packed with interesting things to see, I really enjoy these parts. You should do some wheeling and filming around here!
@@RemoteTrooper no longer the biggest gas station in the world. Here's something from Google. Just call me Mr helpful.
Where is the largest Buc EE's store located?
SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. -
The "world's largest" Buc-ee's is now open in Tennessee. Bucee's newest latest location is in Sevierville, Tennessee, which is in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. This Bucee's is 74,000 square feet, has 120 gas pumps and 350 employees.Jun
GREAT VIDEO, REALLY ENJOYED IT. Looks different from when we were there a decade or so ago
That’s the world’s largest Buc-ees…..the worlds largest gas station is I-80 in Iowa. On over 40 acres. Has several restaurants, a doctor office, a chiropractor office, a barber shop, a dentist, and on and on
@@SaltySouthTexan unless we're talking about something different you're talking about that truck stop. It's on i-80 in iowa. Truck stops and gas stations they don't classify them as being the same. Besides according to an article I read they only got 34 pumps. Compared to Bucky's with 120 pumps. Also I guess it's how you measure it. Because you're right is humongous. You said 40 acres and I'm thinking most truck stops are about that side so I looked it up again and it's a 225. Oh I'm not criticizing you are coming down on you or anything like that. I'm giving you credit for getting my interest again. And this is what I found:
Why is Iowa 80 largest truck stop?
Acreage: Iowa 80 sits on 225 acres, 75 of which are developed. Retail building square footage: nearly 100,000 square feet. Daily number of customers: we currently serve 5,000 customers per day. Number of truck parking spaces: 900
When you find bottles like that, check the base of the bottle for dates. Generally, they have a date of manufacture when they are older bottles.
The deceased snake looks like a Mojave Green rattlesnake. If I'm not mistaken, it contains two varieties of venom and is the most lethal of all rattlesnakes.
Thanks, I really enjoyed this video. So sad that it was only one of thousands of businesses that couldn't survive COVID. Sad that they didn't donate the beds, TV's, Artwork, etc instead letting it wrought. I was very impressed with your bike, what brand & model is it? TFS
Really cool place, thanks for sharing.
Thank You , great videos .
Shame he didn't go all the way inside, would love to have seen the abandoned casino hall.
What does it say about some people, that they just have to break anything and everything...
Your exploration of the desert is fascinating especially seeing the old bottles and wood. I didn't know that Terrible's Hotel and Casino had closed down. It is such a waste of a once attractive building.
Thx for sharing your adventures, I live in Vegas so this was neat to see
4:59 Those are actually small engine/glider-carrying trailers, you can take off the wings and put the whole plane inside of that trailer and take it on the highway.
...abandon buiIdings aIways have a precarious feeI about them, as if the ghostIy patrons are stiII part of the emptiness.
Thank you for sharing :)
Perfect way to describe that eerie feeling.
One thing that amazes me is when you hear an alarm chirp go off on a video it sounds like it is coming from inside my home, that is one of the freakiest tones, you can't tell where it comes from.
Thank You......
