Golden Nugget Hotel And Casino

Pros: An overall fabulous experience.
Cons: Exorbitant pricing for a workout.

Since our Nevada/Utah/Arizona itinerary called for a whopping five nights in Las Vegas, mr_chelledun and I decided to split our hotel stay three ways to combat boredom and to allow us to experience different areas of the city. For our couple of days in ...

Pros: Casino/Hotel is very clean, rooms comfy, food tasty. Located adjacent to Fremont Street Experience.
Cons: Dearth of drink service-at least to slot area. Few dining bargains. Location of South Tower.

We've been to Las Vegas many times, viewed several implosions, watched the changing of the guard as new hotels sprouted like mushrooms in that rare high desert rain, and at least a handful of times, chose downtown Vegas as our jumping off spot. This ...

Pros: Friendly employees, spacious rooms, comfortable beds
Cons: Location from the Strip, no counter space in the bathroom, loud air conditioner

My husband and I stayed at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino during our trip to Las Vegas. It was our first time staying off of the Las Vegas Strip and it was quite a pleasant stay. Contact Information 129 Fremont St Las Vegas, NV 89101 ...

Pros: Personal service at every turn, newly remodeled, intimate and charming.
Cons: None for the Golden Nugget. Be careful roaming old Downtown at night however.

If you’re one of the millions of people who watched “The Casino” on Fox this year- you saw new young owners Tim Poster and Tom Breitling bringing the Golden Nugget casino back to the days before The Strip ruled Vegas. The reality show was ...

Pros: lovely dining, friendly, service, clean, downtown, Fremont Street Experience,atmosphere, price

Pros: Very Good Buffets. On Fremont Street.
Cons: Casino Drink Service Lacking. Poor quality Room.

The Golden Nugget (GN) Hotel and Casino is located in a downtown area of Las Vegas sometimes called “Old Las Vegas”. It is one of the oldest Casinos in town and is often cited best hotel downtown. I just got back from five nights at the GN, ...

Pros: Good value for the money, large rooms, cosmetically appealing, comfortable.
Cons: Restaurant quality and service lacking, slow check in.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay and plan do it again. The Golden Nugget offers a taste of "Old School" Vegas, located Downtown, with a touch of gaudy glamour. You can't beat the value for your money! For dining and drinking, look elsewhere. ...

Pros: Beautiful, clean rooms with low-key elegance.
Cons: None at all.

I made the reservation at this "off Strip" hotel with some apprehension. I was a bit wary of the fact that the area that surrounds this hotel would be terribly seedy and filthy, based on many other reviews of this hotel that I have read on other sites. I ...

Pros: Clean and good looking hotel with great prices. Well looked after.
Cons: Front desk and Casino staff need work.

*update: the Golden Nuggest has been sold once again. My most recent stay was Oct 2005. Things are heading a little south. The buffet is now terrible. I ate there twice and couldnt believe how far its gone into slop kingdom. Room reservations were wrong ...

Pros: Classy, inexpensive, pool, rooms.
Cons: Well, you are downtown. No strip to walk, only 4 blocks of casinos.

(see my update at the end). I have been going to Vegas for about 28 years. I've stayed at Circus, Westward Ho, the old Aladdin, the old Dunes, the old and new Stardust, Flamingo, Treasure Island, Las Vegas Hilton, Four Queens, Plaza, Fitzgeralds, and ...

Pros: Nice spacious rooms for the price!
Cons: No loyalty or appreciation to their guests!

In June 2006, my husband and I went to Vegas on our 6th trip. We always stay Downtown. Usually at Lady Luck or the Fitz. (we don't spend much time in our room). However, Lady Luck is closed for construction so we decided to stay at the Nugget because ...

Pros: Gorgeous 5 star hotel, lovely staff
Cons: Wander Fremont Street at your own risk!

Just spent the weekend at the Golden Nugget. I was really a bit frightened that it would be, well, stinky. I have been in the downtown Fremont area before (usually late night taxi rides from the Strip)... but had never stayed at any of the hotels there....

Pros: quality ADULT resort at a bargain price
Cons: rest of downtown suffers by comparison!

Review Topic:  Overview

Clearly the jewel of Downtown Las Vegas, The Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino has not lost its luster since Steve Wynn sold it over a year ago. The Nugget is a five star hotel/resort in every aspect, and is...

Pros: Plush, Ample Room Size, Clean, Starbucks inside, smack in the middle of Fremont Street Experience
Cons: Food in the coffee shop is not too good (only thing open after 10)

My first time out to Vegas, the Golden Nuggett was recommended to me by a good friend.

We arrived on Friday night and were greeted immediately by hotel staff with no waiting in line. We hurried up to our room where we found it to be plush and...

Pros: great service, very classy, big pool, free parking, discounts definitely possible
Cons: smaller rooms, smokey atmosphere
