General Information

What to expect: Upgraded from its Wild West past, today a white-and-brass façade graces the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino. Guests enter through a lobby of white-marble floors beneath recessed mirror ceilings and brass-and-glass chandeliers.
Amenity highlights: This Las Vegas hotel has it all: a casino and poker room, headliner entertainment, fine and casual dining, and a health spa with fitness equipment and salon services (surcharges). The revamped, heated outdoor pool ("The Tank") surrounds a 20,000-gallon aquarium with live sharks and has a three-story waterslide that goes right through the center. The pool area also features seven private cabanas (surcharge).

Entertainment

Under a vault of two million light bulbs and employing a 550,000-watt sound system, a four-block pedestrians-only stretch of downtown Las Vegas called Fremont Street Experience presents periodic sound-and-light shows from dusk to midnight. Other day-and-night entertainment on the street includes live music, classic-car displays, and holiday festivals. Like nine other downtown casino hotels, this hotel opens directly onto Fremont Street, creating a lively flow of pedestrian traffic.
Impressionist, singer, and entertainer Gordie Brown is famous for his comedy and impressions of celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jack Nicholson, and Sylvester Stallone, as well as Las Vegas icons like Elvis Presley and Sammy Davis, Jr.
Dance the night away at Gold Diggers, Golden Nugget's spot for cocktails, DJs, and balcony views overlooking the Fremont Street Experience. Open nights Tuesday - Sunday.
Soft lighting, ornate canopies, and brass chandeliers harkening back to the original hotel's "gambling hall" distinguish the high-energy casino, which offers 45,000 square feet of slots, video poker, video keno, blackjack, craps, roulette, Pai Gow poker, Caribbean poker, and race and sports betting. In addition, the Golden Nugget offers a 10-table smoke-free poker room with daily Texas Hold’em tournaments.
The 24 Karat Club offers complimentary membership cards that reward slot and video-poker play with cash and/or comps redeemable for food, beverages, and discounted guestrooms. Table-game play also earns comps and discounts.
Age restrictions may apply to entertainment options. Schedules are subject to change without notice.
