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.
It 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 1,907 luxury rooms to the hotel's gold-leaf facade everything
is rich with Victorian refinement and sheer elegance. With the first 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.
Visitors will arrive in style by driving into the lap of luxury under the hotel's porte-cochere.
Once inside, a peek through the glass doors leading to the pool area, reveals the hotel's newest 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 waterslide that passes through the aquarium.
Dining at the Golden Nugget is some of the most celebrated in town including the gourmet delicacies
of Vic & Anthony's and a 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 Tank's colorful reef habitat.
The 36,000-square-foot
casino floor is newly remodeled and accommodates every kind of gambler, from the neophyte to the seasoned high roller. For
those with no limits, there is a high limit slot salon offering VIP services including a lavish lounge and a private cashier.
The semi-enclosed poker room, featured on film and in a number of television series, such as FSN's "Poker Superstars
III," is accented by warm, wood features and has 10 smoke-free tables, plush seating and buy-ins to daily Texas Hold
'Em tournaments.
Need 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. The 600-seat Showroom provides premier entertainment, and
the dazzling light show of the Fremont Street Experience is mere steps away.
The
Golden Nugget puts the shine in "Glitter Gulch," and it's no mistake that such august travel authorities as
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. This treasure shines for everyone.
