for a 2 night's stay on 2 totally different night's here, my first night wasn't bad at all we had a standard room in the south tower. but my last night in vegas here was a a blast the room we had booked (again in the south tower) was sold out from under our feet and we were comped a room at the gold diggers club. and wow what a room! i have pics that i can post here if i can so someone please let me know if i can post some thanx. also the pool was great but an 8 o clock closing time in the heat of the summer sucked big time needs to stay open later. all in all i had a great time here and would definately reccomend the nug to any one who plans on staying in vegas!!!!

The epitome of Vegas swank with it's great service, fancy digs, friendliness, and old-school charm that's sorely missed on the Strip. While it's referred to as the class of downtown, this really is the class of Vegas. Oh, and the fact that it has the raddest pool in the world doesn't hurt either. Refined yet casual, not since the Desert Inn has a hotel provided such a genuine experience in Vegas.

The new Rush Tower makes this place the best value in Vegas. Period. Until further notice this is my home in Vegas.

The Casino is awesome. Alway a good time here. Best on Fremont and give any south strip place competion

This place is literally an oasis in Downtown LV. In the midst of a bunch of old and unrenovated hotels/casinos this place shines. Gotta love the old school low ceilings with the new feel, love the Rush Lounge, the openness yet cozy relaxed feel of the casino, and we can't forget the AWESOME pool area. Just LOOOOVE Golden Nugget.

Has become home base for our Vegas excursions. An absolute value for the quality and without resort fees. Clean and stylish with many gaming, dining and entertainment options. Rush Tower upgrade gets you a coupon book for free drinks, BOGO buffets, matchplay, reduced show tix, etc... Best pool on Fremont. Chart House Restaurant runs awesome Happy Hour specials. The buffet is a decent option for breakfast or lunch. Large enough casino to always find an open seat. Higher table limits and generally higher clientele as well. Nothing but wonderful experiences during each of our stays.

I bought the Golden Nugget in the late 1970s and transformed it from a downtown also ran to a 5 diamond resort... eventually I expanded the Golden Nugget brand to Laughlin, NV and Atlantic City, NJ. What a shame how its changed.

Best value in town.

Oldy but a goody in the heart of everyday-man action. Recent owners have really rolled the dice with everything on the table to make this place once again a worthwhile visit. Congrat's on keeping the flame burning.

Updates are fabulous. Great pool.

Very classy! Will actually consider staying here. Nice and clean casino, pretty nice staff. I like that you can actually see OUTSIDE from the casino and you don't feel trapped and claustrophobe

Sweet crown jewel of downtown.

The property is not your typical downtown hotel. The rooms are very comfortable, the casino bar drinks are good and the slots paid us well. Very classy property and now with the new updates and features it continues to set itself apart from other downtown properties.

My favorite place to burn dope.

Classy!

Quality bars and the best Starbucks on the planet

So far I have stayed in the Carson and Gold towers. Both of which were very nice. Looking forward to staying in the Rush tower in June. UPDATED: Rush tower room was great. Loved the decor and bed. Best room on Fremont for sure and comparable to mid-high end strip rooms like Mirage or Mandalay bay. Always like the casino and the pools especially the Hideout are awesome!!

Still the class of Downtown. The Rush Tower rooms are excellent, but even the Gold Tower rooms are quite nice and are a good bargain. Some of the food options are middle of the road chain style restuarants, but there's plenty of other places to eat within walking distance....

Really nice casino floor. Has that intersection of swank and downtown feel. Slots were okay. Lots of people in cramp areas near entrance.

Hands down, this is the best hotel downtown! I stayed here in April when I signed the papers for my condo, and I had no regrets about it. I was a little worried at first about staying somewhere downtown, but all those worries evaporated when I stepped inside The Golden Nugget and appreciated the truly classy atmosphere of the place. The rooms are a little on the small side (at least by 4-5 star Strip standards), but they're appointed tastefully with comfy beds, flat-screen TVs, and nice bathrooms. The pool area is without a doubt a true gem, especially with the great water slide and "tank" in the middle with live fish! Grotto is not to be missed for good Italian food (at quite the bargain!), while Carson Street Cafe is the place to go for a late night bite. Oh, and don't forget to check out the nightly video shows outside on Fremont Street! :-D

Classy. Even with all the hookers in the bar.

Was so impressed with the Nugget when passing through last summer (and dining at Grotto) that I'm staying there two nights in July this year.

Always love the Nugget. Good, inexpensive restaurants (especially the Grotto), great pool, good gambling, and the new Rush Tower is very impressive.

I love what they've done with the place.

I love the Nug. It has never failed to provide a great base camp for my Vegas adventures. If i'm hungry and need a low key meal I can always count on Carson Street Cafe.

Stayed here last August for our Fantasy Football Draft. Had a Rush Tower room that was amazing. The Sports Book was ok... but the best downtown. Pool was packed and didn't get a chance to go down the slide. Played a little video black jack, but did mostly sports betting.

Great deal downtown. The pool with the shark tank and waterslide is great, the Rush Tower rooms are really nice for a fair price.

Very classy place...by far the best hotel in downtown Las Vegas.

I think Golden Nugget is the tits when it comes to Fremont. Pleasant staff, fun poker tournaments, decent table games with open seats most hours of the day...

They have a gold vending machine... thats pretty fucking cool.

Nicest hotel on Fremont. Carson Street Cafe has awesome Monte Cristo sandwiches. The shark tank is pretty sweet, especially at night. The Gold Club rooms are very cool!

Love the Nug. One of the cleaner places on Fremont Street. Yea it's all up dated but they still have the history. Plus the tables pay well. I give it a solid hard eight!!!

Very nice

Hands down the nicest casino in the downtown area. It gives you a strip feel, but it also gives you a strip price.

Definitely the classiest joint Downtown.

Dark, cramped and has the old Vegas vibe. Rooms are comfortable, great place to stay downtown.

The fanciest hotel in downtown Las Vegas. Golden Nugget has a great pool and a slide with sharks swimming behind fiberglass walls. Freemont Street Experience light show is just outside the hotel. Within a five minute walk, there are a dozen casinos with better odds than you can usually find on the Strip. Carson Tower rooms are standard with old furniture. Rush Tower rooms are brand new. Every room comes with a bathtub and a safe. Biggest downside is you need a car to get to the Strip.

It's the only 4 star hotel downtown, but if you need a 4 star hotel, you probably won't like downtown.

Place was downright stately back in '99.

Classsssyyyyy. I liked relaxin in the pool and plus there was blackjack out there too.

Only witnessed the $5 blackjack table and played a few slots before heading back to the Wynn

...the craps crew is awesome...... meeting interesting "peeps" is cool too.....

World famous Shrimp Cocktail hands down the best deal in vegas.

Low limit tables. Always seem to win here.

Not fancy but has old-time style. Maybe the best diner on Fremont Street. Live pianists singing old standards at the snack bar in the back. They are great; don't forget to tip!

Updating my opinions based on my stay in June. Not all of the rooms are tiny and cramped, nor do all of them have closet-sized bathroom. I hit the jackpot and had a room on the fourth floor that was quite roomy and had a decent sized bathroom with a shower that had a showerhead that I didn't have to kneel under to use. It's a bit noisier in the evenings and into the early mornings due to the goings on in the area of the ONE Bar. One huge plus now is DuPar's replacing the Bay City Diner. I ate there four times during my last trip. Awesome food and is the best coffeeshop Downtown.

You can practically feel the history the second you walk through the door. A true landmark, it not only serves up the best shrimp cocktail in town, but the vibe you get in this place is indescribably amazing. It's such a great experience visiting the oldest hotel in town, and I'm happy to see it's upkeep and legacy has been preserved. Who knew history could be so much fun?

The BEST shrimp coctail in all of Las Vegas and only $1.99!!
one of the oldest casinio's on Fremont, It still has the original rooms in use..

Always make it down for the Shrimp Cocktail. Best deal in Vegas. Wish I were there now!

Old Vegas fo shizay! It was way cool hanging out at this joint. Had a real old western gambling hall feel. It was kind dead when we were there, but it was 2:30AM on a Monday morning.

I have never stayed at the Golden Gate....pretty sure I never will. But every time I make the trip to Las Vegas, I have to go here. The cheap Roulette and Black Jack can not be beat. Staggering out of the Golden Gate at 2:00 am, after playing Roulette for an hour with the same $20 is the best.

Perfect place to get a snack while stumbling around downtown. Fun, intimate casino with low limits.

Rooms have been remodeled and now have HDTVs although no HD connection..bathrooms are tiny...windows open up a bit to the outside allowing fresh air inside..beds are comfy although small..
Casino can be rocking at night...girls are dancing in the table game pit to 70s and 80s Sirus XM Channels that are piped in..food at the two locations on the property is excellent..a trip to Vegas is not complete for me without a shrimp cocktail...

Really like gambling here. Small and intimate but with an old school vibe. The dealers at the Craps table can be a little loud, reminded me of the Russian Roulette scene in Deer Hunter the last time I was there. The deli in the back is a great deal, always get the Shrimp Cocktail and the Homestyle Meat Loaf, wash it down quickly with a cheap beer= Vegas Heaven.

YUMMY FOOD! Good odds on the slots.

Has a very '80's theme...1880's

Getting woke up by the Fremont Street experience every hour on the hour rocks. Who needs an alarm clock? The valet actually washed our filthy Bronco.

My first hotel, back when I was a Vegas Virgin. Paid $15 a nite for it, looked right out just under the Freemont Puppet Show. We didn't know what was going on when it started, I was asleep and thought the world was ending. Nice room, cheap, good location if yer into old skool.
