Golden Nugget Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Golden Nugget in Las Vegas for a family wedding, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly, and the room was clean with a decent size for the price. However, the layout can feel a bit maze-like depending on your room. Overall, I would recommend this casino to anyone looking to experience old Vegas or wanting a break from the Strip, while still being conveniently close.

The staff at Golden Nugget are exceptional and truly made our trip special. Special mentions go to graveyard valet Steve and hotel lobby bar Jen, though everyone we interacted with was impressive. The rooms are clean, affordable, and conveniently located. However, we did dock one star because rooms facing Fremont Street can be very noisy in the morning. Fortunately, the room provides disposable ear plugs—which are helpful if you plan to sleep in. Another downside is that the window blinds aren't blackout curtains; this is unusual for Vegas hotels and a bit disappointing. Overall, the Golden Nugget offers an amazing experience, making guests feel just as special as the luxurious newer hotels on the strip. We can't praise the staff enough and will definitely return soon!

I decided to spend two nights at Golden Nugget to soak in the charm of Fremont and its vintage casinos and hotels. The overall experience at the property was delightful, with excellent service and a lively ambiance in the casino, pool, and bars. While the rooms could use some updating, they were accurately represented on the booking platforms. Micheal assisted with our check-in and was absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, our stay was marred by an unpleasant encounter with a young, blond receptionist who was rather condescending regarding a supposed 'unpaid bill.' This confusion led to us being locked out of our room due to the hotel mistakenly charging my card for only one room instead of both. There was no apology, and the receptionist seemed to take pleasure in belittling us. Even the security personnel, who had to help us regain access to our room, were treated with disdain by him. The billing process was inconsistent, and several days after checking out, I'm still dealing with random transaction adjustments on my card. Despite this hiccup, I still recommend the Golden Nugget, though I advise future guests to be cautious of similar issues with billing and to steer clear of the rude receptionist.

The location of the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas is fabulous, especially if you love Fremont. The hotel itself is stunning, well-maintained, and impressively vast. Our reservation was for a "run of the house" room, which is the most affordable option. We requested two beds and were pleasantly surprised to be assigned two connecting rooms, each with two beds, although they were on the small side. While we appreciated the connecting rooms, they were a bit of a trek from the elevators and located on the 19th floor. We chose this hotel specifically for the pool, as we wanted the kids to experience swimming among the sharks and fish in the tank. This turned out to be a great decision, as the kids absolutely loved the pool area. Access to the pool required a room key and only water was allowed inside. Additionally, there are 2-4 blackjack tables located outside by the pool. Parking was complimentary for one car per room at a nearby location on 1st St and Bridger Avenue. Simply park, take a photo of your license plate, and scan the QR code in the parking lot. If you forget, the QR code can also be found at the check-in desk.

The room at Golden Nugget in Las Vegas was a good value for the price. We were pleased that when we requested bottled water and extra towels, they arrived promptly. The rooms were clean, although we did encounter an issue with the A/C heater filters being clogged and needing to be cleaned in order for the fan to work properly.

I usually stay on the Strip, but this was my first time staying on Fremont Street. Had a pleasant stay overall. The pool was a bit crowded, but it wasn't too difficult to find a sun lounger after a short walk. The aquarium in the pool area was a cool feature. The casino never felt overly crowded. The rooms were spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. Great location!

Arriving at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas at 1a.m. to check in for a weekend reservation, we were initially pleased with our room until we discovered some issues. The bathroom fan was hanging from the ceiling and making a terrible noise, there was a large gash in the tub, and the water was not draining properly. Despite trying to contact the front desk, we faced difficulties with the room phone not working properly. After speaking with staff at the front desk, we were assured that the maintenance issues would be addressed while we were out. However, upon returning, we found that the problems were not completely resolved. For the price we paid, we expected everything to be in proper working order. Unfortunately, this experience fell short of our expectations.

The Golden Nugget in Las Vegas is located right on Fremont Street, where all the excitement happens. From street performers to concerts to zip lining, there is always something going on. The atmosphere is lively, with a curved LED screen overhead creating a daytime feel all night long. The restaurants on site are delicious and a great option for dining. Late at night, we enjoyed playing the machines downstairs when the crowds had died down, although we didn't have much luck winning this time. One downside was the pushy approach towards attending a timeshare seminar upon check-in, which we found intrusive after a long day of travel. Another inconvenience was the restriction on bringing outside food into the hotel rooms, as there are no microwaves in any of the rooms. Additionally, amenities like coffee makers and fridges are only available in upgraded rooms. The lack of a shuttle to and from the airport was also a drawback for us.

I really like this hotel. But they really need to have a bathroom for people who use the gym!!!! It’s absolutely ridiculous that we have to go all the way down to the casino just to use the bathroom in the middle of a workout. I have never been to a gym that didn’t have a bathroom. It’s the most odd thing. Obviously whoever decided to close the bathroom to a gym does not work out! Open the restrooms in the spa for gym please!

Overall, I would say that the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas is a bustling and lively spot. The Rush Tower was a welcomed upgrade, providing a bit more peace and quiet. The staff members were all extremely friendly and willing to assist with any needs. Don't forget to leave your room keys in your room upon check out. The pool area is a standout feature, and the hotel's central location on Fremont makes it easy to explore the Strip on foot.

The location of Golden Nugget in Las Vegas is fantastic, right in the middle of Fremont close to all the attractions. The double queen room we stayed in was spacious and spotlessly clean, comfortably accommodating our group of four. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff making our stay enjoyable. However, light sleepers should be aware of noise from outside - even on the 20th floor we could hear the nearby venue's DJ. The pillows were a bit bulky for our liking, but we didn't think to request smaller ones at the time. Overall, we're confident that the hotel would have been happy to accommodate our preferences.

The room at Golden Nugget in Las Vegas was spacious and lovely, with plenty of dining options on site. The friendly staff and convenient location on Fremont Street added to our positive experience. The pool with the shark tank was a unique feature that we enjoyed. Our only issue was having to check out at 11am on our last day, despite our airport shuttle not departing until 8pm. It would have been nice if the hotel offered some kind of concession to help pass the time for guests with late flights. Overall, a great stay with just a minor inconvenience on our departure day.

As someone who has stayed in many hotels, I must say that my recent visit to Golden Nugget in Las Vegas was fantastic. The hotel had a lively atmosphere, clean open spaces, and a beautiful pool. Our Rush Tower corner suite was very spacious, and we enjoyed being just steps away from Fremont Street. The casino was fun and easily accessible, although we did notice that drink prices were a bit higher than expected. We recommend stopping by the ABC Store just a block away for your necessities. Overall, I had a great experience at Golden Nugget and would definitely return. Just come prepared to have a good time!

Service at Golden Nugget in Las Vegas is top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff. The rooms are clean and standard, although there are no fridges in the Carson tower. Plenty of water bottles are provided and room service is willing to bring more upon request. When the check-in area was crowded, we were smoothly moved to another desk to avoid the congestion, which was a nice touch. The front desk representative, who was celebrating a birthday, gave great suggestions for activities on the strip for our family. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would highly consider staying again in the future. 8/10 rating.

Golden Nugget is one of my favorite places downtown. I have been very lucky there. On my recent trip, I only gambled there. Both times, I hit huge major jackpots! I have also always enjoyed staying there. They have an awesome pool, lots of restaurants, and the rooms are nice. The only drawback is if you have a room that is closer to Fremont Street. Those rooms are very loud until 3:00 a.m.

GN is our favorite casino downtown. Great atmosphere. Decent gaming. Good food. I didn't stay there on this excursion, but I have in the past. The rooms were nice. Cool place on Fremont Street.

My husband and I were stuck on the freeway which was backed up for miles, so we decided to jump off downtown to get some breakfast at the Golden Nugget. It has been years since we went there and it was quite an “Old Vegas Style” treat. We went to the Claim Jumper and the food and service were good. The Hotel was still charming and we completely forgot about the shark tanks and the slide tube that runs through it and drops you into the swimming pool. So cool! The nice thing about the pool area is that it is on the center of the hotel surrounded by the building. You will only have direct sunlight overhead for a limited time and be shaded the rest of the day. So if you explode in direct sun as we do with our fair skin this is a perfect place to hang out. There is a bar and lots of Chairs and seating available - and sharks. Don’t forget the sharks. Lol. Had a great time and enjoyed the food. Stayed there long enough for the freeway to clear then headed home.

I would have given a full 5 stars but during our stay we rented lounge chairs at the hideaway there, 21 and over pool. Everything was great until it wasn’t. The winds picked up and we were forced to leave. I messaged the property 3 times asking if we would be reimbursed for our remaining 2.5 hours and got nothing back. Everything else was great!

First in Las Vegas and I enjoyed my stay. I like the room but it was a long walk, other than that very nice and clean. Everyone in there was very welcoming. Great location because we were close to everything. Will be back again!

A hotel with a great history..but a little tired in places. Restaurants on site varied and largely good. Pools are quite small with limited opening...I would have liked a pool to swim in. No tourist information. Not too pricey. Located on the Fremont Experience.

Lots of fun! We had a nice room in the rush tower. We upgraded to that tower and it was well worth it. Freemont st is a wild time so plenty of people watching to go around. I would definitely go back to the nugget but be sure to get the room upgrade!

Awesome casino with a great staff and downtown location. Golden Nugget is a lot nicer than I expected, given its age, and I will definitely try to stay here again in the future.

Golden Nugget is one of the few hotels in downtown Las Vegas that has kept the classic charm, but also maintained a clean, comfortable and modern resort experience. From a value point of view, Golden Nugget is 5 stars all the way, but if you're comparing it to Circa or some of the bigger hotels on the strip, then 4 stars is a fair assessment.

The staff were warm and welcoming, the check in process was a breeze, parking was so close and convenient, and Fremont Street is just outside the front door. Plus, the eateries inside the hotel had delicious food that was served quickly. We really enjoyed our room too, and we'll definitely return to this hotel in the future.

An awesome place to stay in downtown Las Vegas. Being an older hotel, I was worried about the cleanliness of the rooms and amenities, but everything is 5 stars. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to all my friends.

It surpassed my expectations... as one of the oldest names in Las Vegas' storied history, I wasn't sure what the condition of this casino / resort would be, and I'm happy to report that it's alive and well. We visited briefly on our way to Vic & Anthony's for a wonderful steak dinner, and we couldn't help but be impressed by the beautiful glassed-in pool area and clean premises on the way. After an amazing dinner, for better or worse, we stepped out the back door to the Fremont Street Experience. The Golden Nugget seems like a very nice facility in a great location to see all that downtown Vegas has to offer.

We come to Vegas often and lately we've always stayed downtown and always stayed at the Golden Nugget. We love this hotel. Lots of different kinds of room options, good food choices, and really nice pool area. Right on Fremont Street. Easy to get to other casinos without having to walk miles like you do out on the strip. It's definitely a party atmosphere downtown. In the past we've always stayed in the Carson Towers because those are the cheapest rooms, but this time we decided to upgrade to the Rush Tower. We will probably stay in the Rush Tower for now on. Although Carson is okay, we like the Rush rooms a bit better and there are refrigerators and coffee makers in the rooms. Carson Tower is further from Fremont Street so quieter. But we were able to get a room in the Rush Tower on the strip side away from Fremont Street. Be sure to specify that you want a quiet room, especially if you opt for the Gold Tower which is the "middle" option in terms of price. Overall we really recommend the Golden Nugget.

A classic casino with all the modern amenities. Golden Nugget is great for gambling, drinking, and lodging.

This is the most underated hotel in Vegas. A lot of restaurants and bars like the bigger resorts, but also located right on Fremont Street. You also have access to an awesome pool and clean rooms.
