| - Aiding and Abetting Women Breaking Vows
Got to stay and play at G Nug and as usual, there's a lot to do on property! I'm reluctant to give it a nickname, since hotels before have tried to reboot themselves with the hip, locals' nickname to disastrous results. Also, tabloids kinda ruined nicknames with the first initial, first syllable of last name formula.
There are at least a dozen watering holes to wait for people. And while I did this frequently over the years, I'll focus on 2 of the most important times I've done this on property. Once, behind the Bar 46 wall, I hung out at that inside bar when a bride plopped her flowing gown crying self on the stool next to me. Everyone looked, but they didn't want to say anything. They wanted the guy by himself sitting next to her to test the unpredictable waters first.
Unfortunately, my first trip to Golden Nugget was after the Wynn days, the Kenny Rogers (pre Joan Rivers face) entertainment director days and even pre Fremont Street Experience (weekend cruising)/ Jan Jones days. But I have heard the stories many, many times.
I got to experience 2 rich guys trying their hand at running a casino and branding themselves with a reality show era. But, what was cool was that I got to see the reality show broadcast on the canopy when they aired and as a bonus, Tara Reid got to hang out there and I met her fresh during one of her nip slip (read: her entire boob was out for an extended oblivious amount of time) publicized moments.
The changes over the years have been decent, the Nug seems to be the most financed and first downtown to start the renovations that set the standard for others to follow, which is great.
You want to know about the bride, but I should begin the second time I waited, too. It was for a guy, yeah yeah. I used to work with him. I hadn't seen him in years, he was always one of those guys we used to give shit to each other at work all the time, hung out at the diamond lounge after work and work some events together. I went to him to get the what for on who's hiring lately.
He always had 4-5 frames going on at the same time, but he had a bit of a gambling problem that kept him from saving any of it. Great service at the bar, it's the bar next to the cashier window that I think people still shock their hand with that stamp machine trying to validate their parking ticket. The bar is also next to the poker room. We always had a cold rivalry, but our meeting was something of a summit, since I/we finally admitted we were the top 5 competent workers in that over themed restaurant.
Back in the day, I talked to the bride for a bit until we were the center of attention in that corner of the casino, so we left. We walked over to the Hand Of Faith (pre gold vending machine- Wow!), where we gazed and devised a plan to get her out of her hotel room heist style (her fian-psycho parts unknown, BOLO). Ex's are always called psychos, but honestly, isn't that why we hooked up with them to begin with?
We were able to get some of the people at the bar to canvas the lobby for- wait, what does this have to do with a review of a casino? Random GN patrons banded together to form a rag tag gang, that's what this casino is capable of!
The shark tank was a great addition and ingenious that they have a water slide thru it. The shock is that they can maintain it without people ruining it somehow with vandalism or an accident of some kind. The bars in the lounge areas flow specialty drinks egregiously.
I suppose I'll have to review the venetian canal ride or the Viva Wedding Chapel to finish about what happened with the ex bride... Man, I didn't even get to meeting Gordie Brown, The Experience in the cafe and the hooker from the heart of Gold Diggers, but they can have their own reviews at least.
Golden Nugget maintains the standard downtown, but The D and Golden Nugget are both up with a bullet!
