Choice Among Downtown Hotels

by CSMobileUser2

Golden Nugget is a good choice if you must stay downtown. The guest rooms are nearly on par with some strip hotels.The food is good without being exceptional.The staff are quite friendly, and the casino is easy to navigate.On the negative side, the pool is very attractive but is a complete mob scene.Also, the registration desk is awkwardly located, and check-in lines build quickly.Finally, this is a very high density property and the casino always seems crowded. However, the rates are quite reasonable.

"Old" Vegas at it's best

by rg1972

This is my favorite hotel downtown, beautiful place, screams Old Vegas, good resturant right near the front entrance (name escapes me, but you can't miss it and the food was AWESOME) Stunning pool area for a downtown hotel complete with shark tank! If you can swing it get one of the two story suites with half spiral staircase, spa tub, huge sitting room, bar, tv up and down stairs, cieling to floor wondows complete with remote control blinds! It was like living like a high roller for five days, was incredible

• Pros: beautiful "old" vegas hotel, pool, food
• Cons: off strip, but plenty of hotels near it right on freemont street

have confidence to stay here

by newguysfo

This hotel has seen some changes in ownership over the past few years. It's the best place I've stayed downtown, and I've stayed in all the hotels and in this one 30 times.( on business here often) There's some remodelling going on but the pool should be ready soon.

I like: large rooms, clean rooms, easy access to parking stucture, ambience, good service on valet parking, good buffet

I didn't like: Even though I've stayed 30 times and they know it from their computer, the front desk always treats me like they've never seen me and prefer they won't see me again. But if I put my ego aside, I realize it's still the best place downtown and they probably know that so why treat me special.

• Pros: Big rooms, good value, good downtown location, safe
• Cons: AS of this writing there's construction going on, but that should be a "pro" later
