Golden Nugget

If you are looking for a combination of luxury and old Vegas nostalgia than there is only one place in Las Vegas to stay, and that is the Golden Nugget. It is the largest, nicest, and in most categories the highest rated hotel casino in the Downtown area. Golden Nugget has been the center and most popular casino in Downtown Vegas for the last 60 years. It has recently undergone a complete renovation upgrading everything from the rooms to the casino floor to the pool area.

Located directly beneath the often ruckus Fremont Street Canopy, a few steps within will bring guests to another world of elegance more in the style of Strip casinos than anything one would find in the Downtown area. It caters to a wide variety of visitors from the more price conscious tourist seeking a reprieve from the high prices of the Strip, to gambling enthusiasts, to those who enjoy a taste of old school Vegas, to the young party goers, and everything in between.

The Golden Nugget is perhaps the most popular casino in the Downtown area, however it also boasts the most rooms, and it is often easier to reserve one here than on the Strip. As always however, reserving well in advance is recommended anywhere in Las Vegas, and especially on Holidays and during the busy summer months.
