Melding the nostalgia of old Las Vegas with the sophistication of the city's most extravagant landmarks, The Golden Nugget
remains the treasure of Fremont Street, even after 60 years.
This legendary hotel has witnessed Fremont Street turn from a barely paved road to one of the most photographed thoroughfares
in the world and finally to its newest incarnation, the Fremont Street Experience. Through all that time, the Golden Nugget has stood as proud and priceless as the 61-pound gold nugget displayed inside the
casino.
From the 1,914 luxury rooms to the hotel's gold-leaf facade, everything is rich with Victorian refinement and sheer elegance.
With the second phase of an extensive $100 million renovation and expansion project complete, it is clear that the largest
hotel-casino in downtown Las Vegas only gets better with age.
In 2009, the third phase of the expansion will introduce a brand new 500-room hotel tower project to the northwest end of
the property.
Dining at the Golden Nugget is some of the most celebrated in town including the gourmet delicacies of Vic & Anthony's and a mouth watering Buffet that draws people by the thousands. Lillie's Noodle House offers Pan-Asian cuisine in a contemporary, yet comfortable atmosphere while Grotto Ristorante boasts the feel of an Italian trattoria with its Fellini-inspired murals and regional wine list.
Both The Buffet and Grotto offer views of the hotel's crown jewel: a 200,000-gallon aquarium that is home to marine creatures
from around the world including several shark species, Southern stingrays and a variety of large game fish.The three-story
pool complex, called The Tank, is complete with private cabanas, a jacuzzi, the Dive Bar, waterfalls and an enclosed water slide that passes through the
aquarium.
The 36,000-square-foot casino floor accommodates every kind of gambler, from the neophyte to the seasoned high roller. For
those with cash to spend, there is a high limit slot salon offering VIP services including a lavish lounge and a private cashier.
The semi-enclosed poker room is accented by warm, wood features and has 10 smoke-free tables, plush seating and buy-ins to
daily Texas Hold 'Em tournaments. The Golden Nugget plays a significant role in the poker world with television series such
as NBC's Poker After Dark and GSN's High Stakes Poker filming at the hotel.
For a break from the high-energy casino action, settle down with a signature cocktail in the intimate atmosphere of the swank
RUSH Lounge or rejuvenate with a therapeutic massage or body treatment at The Spa at Golden Nugget.
Party goers will dance the night away with a fantastic view of Fremont Street at Gold Diggers nightclub. For entertainment, the 600-seat Showroom is soon to feature impressionist and singer Gordie Brown while the 11,000-square-foot
events center, The Grand, can house entertainment, meetings and even poker tournaments.
The Golden Nugget puts the shine in "Glitter Gulch," and it's no mistake that travel authorities like AAA and Mobil have given
the hotel their highest ratings year after year. Downtown Las Vegas would be unimaginable without its venerable charm, dignity
and hospitality.
