I used to love the Nug myself, but then they got bought out by some restaurant company. Whereas the Nug used to really be old school Vegas classy, it's now trying to compete with the hotels on the Strip. If I wanted that, I'd pay to stay on the Strip. Such a waste. I hear they have a shark tank now... I mean, WTF?The gambling is good there, though. I'll give it that. But 2004 was the last time I'd stay there - the service had really gone downhill shortly after the property was sold. And I got tired of being stalked by the timeshare people. We knew they were bad when a just married couple was walking back to their hotel room and got assailed by 5 people telling them about a "free" show. I know this is an evil at most Vegas hotels, but these people were just overtly agressive.

for a 2 night stay on 2 totally different night's here, the first night wasn't bad at all but my last night in vegas i was blown away when we were upgraded to the gold diggers club because the room we had booked was sold from under our feet and wow what a room i have pics to post here if i can so someone please let me know if i can thanx

Stayed in the North tower... a must for convenience (elevators right at pool / casino) and upgraded furnishings. Incidentally, the configuration of the two towers makes for some interesting sun choices at the centrally located pool. You can have direct, shade, or reflective sun off of the mirror windows. The central shark tank, aquarium and waterslide add a strip-like feel to the pool area. Damn, I really enjoyed the GN. Staff was very friendly and helpful, the cafe served up quick, good eats, and there are two starbucks.... Yippee! The sushi resteraunt Red? Skip it. Expensive, and too casino central. The buffet upstairs was perrenially lined up, we ended up at Fitz's.... quick and cheap. Don't be thwarted by complainers. This joint is the best in glitter gulch.... and in the heart of that awesome Freemont St. Experience.

While I still prefer playing at Binion's, the Golden Nugget has in the course of four trips, become my second favorite place to gamble Downtown. I've eaten at their buffet, at Red Sushi, and Lily's Noodle House. What can I say about the bars? They're some of the best casino bars Downtown. Can't argue with a casino that has bars with excellent draft beer selections as well as single malt Scotch. Now that I have returned from a stay there in the new Rush Tower, the GN gets a six from me. From now on, this is where I'll probably hang my hat when I go to Las Vegas.

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

The best joint downtown. Can't swing the skyrocketing prices on the strip? Get a better room at a swankier joint - The Golden Nugget. It's a Steve Wynn Joint! (or at least it was)

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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