We went to the Golden Nugget to see an old 70s mellow rock band Ambrosia. We spent 450.00 to sit in the 4th row and it was a TOTAL WASTE of money!!!! DO NOT ever waste your money to go to a concert there EVER! The venue is very small, so when people stand up your view is totally blocked. This was not a rock concert in an arena were it accommodated people to stand. Well, through the whole show, there were these 4 people standing up the whole time. Everyone else there was sitting. These rude, inconsiderate people were directly in front of us and others behind them. There were ushers standing all over the place so I went to one and asked if he would go over to them and make them sit down so those of us could enjoy the concert. He said no, it wasn't his job!! Really???? What the hell are ushers for if not to make sure that people are acting considerate of others and not disrupting or obstructing the view??? I asked one other ushers and she refused. They told me I had to get security!! It's not my job to get security it's theirs!! I spent a little of money to enjoy a concert, not track down security that wasn't to be found. What the heck to they pay ushers for??? At the end I spoke to a DAVE GILLIE, director of entertainment to get my money back or compensation because we couldn't see the concert we paid good money to see. The ushers staff and security were totally negligent in controlling the disruptive and rude people attending the concert. DAVE brushed us off and had us contact KEVIN SKAGEN. We did, and have not heard from anyone. Avoid going to any concert at this hotel. It is small, it's very expensive and the staff will let the rude, inconsiderate people ruin any chance of a good experience.

The rooms are so out of date, the shower is atrocious, you really need to giggle with it to set it on the function or else the bath fills. The rooms are very tired and old fashioned. Sun beds by the pool are very rare and if you do wish to pay $40 dollars per person this is the only way you will be able to sit by the poolside. Pool area is very old fashioned and tired too, the whole hotel is in need of a renovation. The Casino area is fair and has lots of tables and machines available, toilets in this area are clean and fresh and modern. (Best place in hotel). Restaurants inside the hotel are fair with Starbucks also available, reasonable prices too. I would personally say the accommodation is worth half the price you pay as really out of date and run down.

Overall everything was fine .. except the front desk. Because of the hoops I had to go through in order to check in.. paying twice for my resort fee

I stayed at The Golden Nugget Sept 28th to Oct 1st with friends. First off, we had booked a room with two beds. When we got there they assigned us a room with one King bed. I told the lady at the desk and she basicly said they were out in that tower and if we wanted two beds in another tower we would have to pay an additional $20 per night! I booked two beds. How are they out? I declined as the price was already outrageous. Our bathroom tub and toilet were filthy. They obviously hadn't been cleaned. The sink leaked. I had to call maintenance because the blinds wouldn't go up. The reason I booked here was for the shark pool which was open very limited hours and one day wasn't even open! If you wanted to sit on a lounge chair that was an additional charge! Some of the bars weren't open. It was noisy and dirty. I will not stay here again.

We had fun. Check in was very smooth due to Debbie from VIP coming over and taking us and another couple out of line to personally check us in at VIP. Many thanks. Rush Tower room was perfect. Loved out stay there, will be back soon!
