Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino Review

Monday, April 27th, 2009

www.cheaplasvegashotelsonline.comOriginally a hotel that featured a Wild West theme, this Las Vegas Hotel has been remodeled to include white and brass facades that grace the entrance way of this grand hotel. A new construction is taking place which will be a West Tower to include another five hundred rooms. The construction may be completed near the end of 2010 or beginning of 2011. White marble floors are the showcase when you first enter the hotel lobby and magnificent brass and glass chandeliers hang from overhead mounted on impressive mirrored ceilings.

No matter what you venue of preference includes, the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino is sure to have what you are looking for. This Las Vegas Hotel has a casino, poker room, headliner entertainment, find dining, casual dining, a spa, a fitness center, and salon services. Appropriately nicknamed “the tank”, a remodeled outdoor heated pool surrounds a 20,000 gallon aquarium with live sharks. A waterslide reaching three stories goes directly through the center. For a surcharge you and your family can also rent a cabana and make it a day of fun in the sun.

Dining at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino is a pleasure with choices like a fine steakhouse, Italian outlets, Asian outlets, buffet dining, and cafes and bars that are opened all day and all night for your convenience.

And just because you aren’t right on the so called “strip”, don’t worry, headliner acts are appearing along with plenty of other entertainment at this Las Vegas Hotel throughout the year. You can reserve a private booth at Rush Lounge, a trendy Vegas ultra-lounge where you can sip high end cocktails. A dance club complete with DJs, balcony views, and plenty of alcohol is also available. Appropriately named, Gold Diggers is the place to go to let it all out.

A must see for anyone who is the slightest bit camera happy is located right in the lobby. A 875 troy ounce (sixty pound) gold nugget is on display. This amazing artifact was discovered in 1980 in Australia. The discoverer used a metal detector and found the gold nugget only six inches below the ground!

Your room will feature sitting areas and some suites have living areas, TV’s hidden away in armoires, separate vanity areas made of marble with lighted makeup areas and shaving mirrors, semi canopy beds, wireless high speed internet throughout the room (with additional charge), bathroom telephones, in room safes, and pay movies.

Such performers as Gordie Brown have been featured. Gordy is famous for his comedy and impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jack Nicholson, Elvis Presley, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Sylvester Stallone. And stay up until you just can’t stand it any longer in the originals hotel’s gambling hall where you will find 45,000 square feet of video poker, blackjack, roulette, slots, video keno, craps, Caribbean poker, and race and sports betting. With just a brisk walk to the strip, this favorite Las Vegas Hotel offers you everything you could ask for, in a relaxing retreat from he busy life of the Vegas Strip.

Book Your Hotel in Downtown Las Vegas

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Whether you are heading out to Sin City for the gambling, to see the shows, or both, you want a great hotel to stay in. While many people like to stay on the Strip – the four mile stretch of road where 18 of the world’s largest hotels call home, along with the casinos and other resorts – choosing to stay in any of the Downtown Vegas hotels is a great idea for people looking to find a great room in Vegas on the cheap.

 

Downtown Las Vegas is the city’s central business district, and all of the high rise buildings that aren’t on the Strip are found here. Downtown is centered around the amazing Freemont Street Experience. The Freemont Street Experience is a covered area where the casinos have been connected to each other and to the street in a striking visual way. Featuring over 2 million lights and a state of the art sound system, the Freemont Street Experience will provide you with a great free show and plenty to see during your Las Vegas stay.

 

The hotels in the Downtown Las Vegas area are clean and well-kept and only a fraction of the cost of the hotels to be found on the Strip. While it is true that the rooms are generally smaller and do not feature as many of the fancy bells and whistles that you would find in a room on the Strip, that lower price definitely makes up for it, and you will not miss the bells and whistles anyway. Table limits in the casinos here are lower, and with all of the famous late night eating specials, you can find a great and affordable meal pretty much anywhere you go in the area.

 

Some of the great hotels you will find in the Downtown Las Vegas area are the Four Queens Hotel and Casino, The Golden Nugget Las Vegas, Fitzgerald’s Casino Hotel, and the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino. Fitzgerald’s is a 34 story hotel with 638 rooms and a casino. The casino features over 900 slot machines and nearly 30 gaming tables, and the entire place is done in a “luck of the Irish” theme. The Golden Nugget is one of the oldest hotels and casinos in Las Vegas, and it is also the largest one in the downtown area, with 1914 deluxe guest rooms and suites for you to stay in. This hotel and casino is the basis for the popular Fox television show “Casino.”

 

So next time you are planning a trip to Las Vegas, keep the Downtown area in mind for your hotel stays. The Freemont Street Experience is not to be missed, especially the free light shows that run every night, and your budget won’t suffer because the room rates in the Downtown area are so much lower than they are on the Strip without sacrificing quality or cleanliness. And when you are able to spend less on your hotel accommodations, then you are left with more to spend in the casinos and on any of the other numerous entertainments Las Vegas has to offer.
