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!

From the first moment walking into the hotel there was disappointment and substandard service at every turn (except Chart House).

From the first moment walking into the hotel there was disappointment and substandard service at every turn (except Chart House). Having watched Tillman Fertitta's Billionaire Buyer show I expected every detail at the hotel to buttoned-up. Frankly it's old...looks old and feels old. There was no human contact at the front desk upon check-in. Just a bossy, unfriendly, impatient woman directing you to check in on one of the kiosks. When I finally got to my room which couldn't have been any farther from the elevators, I saw a sparsely appointed hotel room. Looking for the mini-fridge. None. Looking for the coffee maker. None. No hair dryer. Every hotel I've stayed in the past 20 years has these amenities. (I was told I could upgrade to a room with a fridge for $20 a night. Nickel and diming. The lamps are old and don't have any modern ports. Fortunately they had installed a stand-alone bank of these for charging your devices. There was no desk: more of a makeup table with a little kid's stool. Housekeeping is so slow it was into late afternoon before they ever made it to my room, so I kept the privacy please sign on the door. Although I walked past several members of housekeeping in the hallway during my stay there was no common courtesy greeting as you may be accustomed to. They did their level best to ignore you. I checked in around 4:00 on a Wednesday and on my floor there was a room service tray of half-eaten fruit in the hallway outside a room (who knows how long it had been there). I must walked past this same tray a dozen or more times and finally Friday evening I took a picture of it because it is so emblematic of the apparent attitude of indifference of the employees. It was gone by Saturday morning; a guest must have taken it downstairs. The bathroom fixtures are old and frankly the tub is unsafe due to the unusual incline around the perimeter. Toilet flush though - think airliner grade suction! If Vegas wants to save on water they should regulate or put restrictions on the GN. There's so water pressure and thus wasted water, that the tub nearly fills up during a shower. I do like the restaurants and the food and the service there though, having been to Chart House and Saltgrass several times each. As a final parting shot at a guest I spoke to someone before bed the last night for a very early wake-up call to make a 6:10am flight. Guess what---no wake up call and I damn near missed my flight. So I'll return to the Nugget for food and the occasional wager but no way I would ever stay there again. Pity the poor Caesar's Entertainment properties when they get a dose of this management style.

I once loved this hotel and casino. Not anymore. I find the staff to be rude (especially the cage employees). Over half the cash out machines are down. The rooms are old and dated: it’s sad to say but they have really let the place run down. It’s really sad to see a place I enjoyed for years disappoint like this.

Our stay at Golden Nugget Las Vegas was a mix of great customer service and a very disappointing experience. The overnight check-in attendant was extremely friendly and welcoming, and our room was clean, comfortable, and offered a great rate. The pool staff—including the entry attendant, cabana rental rep, and hostess—were all helpful, professional, and very customer-service oriented. Unfortunately, the main reason we booked this hotel was for the Shark Tank pool and slide, only to find out after arriving that both were out of service. This was never made clear during the booking process. I booked directly through an email link that took me straight to the calendar selection page, so I had no indication the main attraction would be unavailable. After spending $325 on a pool cabana/food/drinks, I spoke with the front desk hoping for understanding, but both the desk staff and manager were rude and repeatedly insisted the issue was my fault because it was “on the website.” I was offered a $50 food and beverage credit, which felt inadequate for a family of four, especially when they refused to refund even $50 from the pool charges. At that point, I chose not to spend another dime there. The lack of accountability and dismissive attitude left a very negative impression and honestly felt a bit misleading. Read less

Went to the spa for a massage! Have been getting massages for over 15 years so I was skeptical at first. Shawna T was absolutely amazing her level of expertise and training were evident from start to finish! If your ever at the spa in the golden nugget request her if you can you won't be disappointed!!!! 5 stars for the massage!!!!!
