What People Are Saying About Golden Nugget

Featured Review

Ryan Slattery

Contributor

In Short – The Golden Nugget, the class of downtown Las Vegas, has again gone under the knife. New owner, Landry's Restaurants, has put its stamp on the legendary property adding Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse, Lillie's Noodle House and the Italian Trattoria-style Grotto from its restaurant chain. The Tank, a circular pool complex, features a 200,000-gallon shark tank with a three-story water slide, and guests will find two high-limit slot salons, state-of-the-art spa and a 600-seat showroom among the other amenities.

Editor's Tips

Where to Sit:
Most of the restaurants have pool views, but late night Rush Lounge is a popular spot for cocktails and conversation.
Know Before You Go:
The 10-table poker room is smoke-free and has early morning tournaments.
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Very nice place to stay. Cool Pool

by JessicaVilla at Citysearch

We visited Las Vegas a couple weeks back and stayed at the Golden Nugget. We love downtown Las Vegas adn have stayed here a few time. We really loved that it was close to all the cute wedding chapels in Las Vegas. We got married at Mon Bel Ami wedding chapel while we were in town which is right down the street. The Golden Nugget staff gave us free champane and strawberries when we told them that we had eloped. We would definitely stay here again!

Choice Among Downtown Hotels

by CSMobileUser2 at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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

Can Beat this!!

by trvlgirl at Citysearch

Heading out tonight for Vegas again, and we will be staying at the Golden Nugget AGAIN!!! What a wonderful Hotel/Casino. The rooms are nice, comfortable, and a great size!!! The hotel is a little older looking than some of the ones on the strip, but you can't beat the location. Downtown is a great place to stay, and a fun place to wander around at night, between the casinos only. As a former resident of Vegas, DO NOT wander to any of the little side streets around downtown.

The Casino was great, as was the food. The main cafe, dining area serves great food and a wonderful strawberry waffle. We ate there many times and was satisfied every time!!!

  • Pros: Price, Location, Service
  • Cons: Towels could be fluffier!!
