Golden Nugget Las Vegas

Downtown, Las Vegas

Star rating

The hotel

Boasting some of Las Vegas’ finest rooms and suites after a $380 million dollar transformation, it’s easy to understand why. The accommodation is divided between four majestic towers with wonderful views of the Las Vegas Strip, the Spring Mountains and the hotel’s incredible pool. Then there's the Tank, as the swimming complex is known, comes complete with a shark tank, 3-storey waterslide and 13 private cabanas for hire. There’s also an infinity pool, aptly named The Hideout, which is strictly for adults only. Other temptations include a superb spa with steam rooms, sauna, massage and beauty treatments plus a state-of-the-art fitness centre to work off those American-sized portions! Several restaurants are at your disposal, including Vic and Anthony’s, one of the country’s finest steakhouses. Alternatively, head to Chart House for sumptuous seafood, Red for Pan-Asian cuisine or Grotto for Italian fare. Come sundown, Troy Liquor Bar is the place to be with a lively atmosphere, DJs and exotic cocktails. An incredible hotel with an incredible range of amenities, look out in particular for the Hand of Faith in the lobby - a 61-pound gold nugget found in Australia in 1980 with a metal detector just six inches below ground – now that’s Lady Luck at her finest!

Check in 4pm. 6pm still waiting. Finally said they would give us a suite. I paid for a suite so not an upgrade. Well it was near Fremont so very noisy till 2am. Had to call to have room cleaned, they kept forgetting. Never vacuumed the room because there were sparkles on rhe floor the whole week. Forgot to leave cups and water. Very dissappointing.

From a Family with 30 Years of Loyalty — Our Golden Nugget Experience We’ve been coming to the Golden Nugget for 30 years, and this was by far the most disappointing visit yet. Here’s what happened: 1. The Welcome: Walking in, we were expecting to be greeted with a warm smile, like in the past. Instead, we were met with a row of kiosks and laptops. The front desk staff stood off to the side talking among themselves, barely acknowledging us. When we asked questions, it felt like we were interrupting them. 2. The Upgrade: We asked about an upgrade and were offered one for $45 more per night. We agreed and were moved to the Rush Tower, which we thought would be more convenient. 3. The Room: At first, the room seemed nice and close. But we were up until 3 AM because of loud music outside. In the morning, I went to take a bath — and found a filthy tub with a hole in it. There was absolutely no way I was sitting in that. 4. The Move: After avoiding the kiosks again, I finally spoke with someone at the front desk. After 3 hours of waiting, we were moved to another room. 5. The Parking Nightmare: It was Friday night. We had plans to gamble and see Kenny Chesney. We rented a car, and valet told us to park around the block because it was free. After the concert, we drove around the ramp for 30 minutes — it was completely full. The attendant said, “Yeah, keep driving around. Not my problem.” We went back to valet — now it was $20 to park. Fine. We paid. Inside, we asked one of the kiosk attendants what was going on. Her response: “Oh yeah, it’s Swim After Dark night. The public can come swim, we know there’s no parking.” Apparently, if you’re not a guest, it’s $50 to park. But for actual guests? Good luck finding a spot. 6. The Overall Vibe: The heart and soul of the Golden Nugget that we’ve known for decades just isn’t there anymore. The personal touch is gone. It felt like we were just a number — expected to figure everything out on our own while staff stood by with little interest in actually helping. This trip was supposed to be a fun, relaxing getaway. Instead, it turned into a series of frustrating situations. From the lack of customer service, dirty accommodations, and parking chaos — it felt like no one really cared whether we were there or not. When talking to the security expressing concerns about homeless people coming up to harass you, their answer. “We are diligent 24/7 to make sure the place is safe.” My answer, was are the security people monitoring the door, where are your staff when the fire code is over limit for people! ? The waitstaff? Five deep behind the bar, talking among themselves. When you ask for a drink, you get, “Yeah… someone does that section, but she never shows up.” Just wow. And the final straw: standing outside, we witnessed a street performer attack a man for tipping him with change instead of bills. He literally ran at him, slammed him into a kiosk, and smashed his head into the corner. Blood everywhere. His buddies yelling, “Get the f@$% out of here!” — and no one stepped in. No security. No police. If you think this is the place to have fun, relax, enjoy a show, and feel safe, you are sadly mistaken. This used to be a special place. Now? It’s chaos, greed, and a complete loss of the hospitality that once made it great. All about the bottom dollar now. Golden Nugget — we miss what you used to be. I STRONGLY STATE! City council members, Casino owners, POLICE chief, spend a NIGHT OR weekend IN THE THICK OF IT! I guarantee YOU WILL change your mind! Read less

My husband and I decided to relive our youth and spend a few nights Downtown. So we settled on the Golden Nugget and prepared to relive our early 20s. The hotel was lively and the blown glass everywhere added to the atmosphere of old Las Vegas. We were originally were given room 1189 in the Carson tower. My husband hated the room so he went to get an upgrade ($40 extra per day!) and we were given room 21219 in the Rush tower. Now the room was better and the view was beautiful. The room has a bit of wear and tear and it was so dark. But overall it did the job. Read less

Was booked to stay at the Golden nugget June 13 to June 15. A disturbance happened on fremont street on June 11 with tear gas and rubber bullets being utilized. Golden nugget would not give me a credit due to their conditions and term on agreement.. Bad for business.

Stayed Saturday and Sunday nights. Was our 4th time staying at the nugget. Have stayed in every tower, this trip we were in the cheapest room in the Carson tower. Room was comfy, and clean. Check in was quick. Staff polite. Casino fun. Pool day was a blast, drinks are expensive but tasty.
