Stayed 5 days at Golden Nugget the first week of May. My husband and I haven’t been to LV in 15 years and when we do, we usually stay on the strip. We really enjoyed our stay in the Gold Tower. The room was very nice as was the casino. All the people were very nice. We just loved Kimber (bartender) and Brian (the doorman?). We want to give special thanks to Steve (security) and Bobby Lyons who helped us recover a lost item left in our room. They handled the situation very professionally and we received the item very quickly. We cannot express our appreciation enough. We want to go back next year in May because the weather was so nice. We will not hesitate to book with the Nugget on our next visit.

My Son, Wife and I visited the "Old Las Vegas" April 30, 2026. Here is our review: - Overall, Old Las Vegas was loud and a bit sleezy. Lots of people competing for your attentio. Seems like anyone with a microphone and some music, magic or acrobatic routine can setup shop, many very close to eachother. Male and Female exotic dancer types out too calling out to you. Its a bit annoying and not as fun as it was a few years back. - We stopped in the Golden Nugget to play a few hands of Blackjack. The $5 table actually requires you to put down and additional $2 for each hand, so $7 can pay out $5 for a winning hand. This makes it difficult to spend an even $20 or $40 for a few hands. $20 gets you two hands not four. You get the idea. No wonder "the house always wins". - During one game it seemed like the Dealer transitioned to the next round quickly without paying out the winning hand my Son had. I could be wrong and maybe it was a "push" but was moving so fast we both thought it was a win. We should have stopped the game but the new cards were already being dealt so we missed it. - As a comparison, we played Blackjack at the Rio for over an hour at a $10 per hand table and had a blast and the Dealer there was very engaging and it was a great experience. The next Vegas trip is being planned and will stay on the Strip for sure and skip Old Vegas.

We arrived on Sunday and our room was not ready, even though it was past check in time. I asked how long it would take and was told he didn't know, they had had 1400 guests that weekend. I don't care how many guests they had, if they booked the room and I paid for it then it better be ready. We did not get to our room until 6:30 pm. The pool was nice BUT the shark tank was empty and the slide was not working. Super disappointed because the shark tank is why we went there. Lots of long black hairs were in the bathtub. We ran out of towels and toilet paper, followed the instructions to request more in the morning, didn't receive them until after the third request that evening. Beds were very soft but small, only full size. Not comfortable for two adults to sleep in. We wanted to have a great experience, paid the full amount to upgrade to a nicer room in the gold tower but wish we had never gone there. Super disappointed and will not return.

So, we booked this awhile back because we love the fish tank at the pool. Unfortunately the aquarium surrourding the pool is cracked. The fish have been moved to Mandaly Bay until its repaired . No compensation. Wait until later

A great place to stay while in Vegas. Rooms have always been clean and in great shape. Staff is very efficient and friendly! They are right on Fremont Street which is always a good time and there are quite a few things to do in the downtown area. Because you're on Fremont Street, the noise can be a little loud late at night. A lot depends on which of their towers you are staying in as to the amount of noise there is and there are free earplugs in the rooms to help with that.
