| - There was a time I found myself at the Golden Nugget more often than any other downtown property. Instead of wining and dining at a ritzier spot like Vic & Anthony's (http://www.yelp.com/biz/vic-and-anthonys-steakhouse-las-vegas-2), I was likely here grabbing my breakfast, whether it was early in the morning or uber late at night.
There aren't many eateries at the Nugget, so Carson Street is by default the typical 24/7 diner-eqse spot for all to partake when they please. The older crowd tend to order the typical choices in these parts from soups to sandwiches, pastas to salads, and virtually anything on the simple scale. For me, it was almost always breakfast.
Truth be told, neither the food nor the establishment is all that exciting. Prices are a little lower here than any strip diner as it should be but the food is much less remarkable - bland and boring is the best way I can put it. At least with most of the breakfast options, they're likely to be fresher at least with eggs and hashbrowns + breakfast meat.
It was easy to order a simple platter consisting of scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and hash browns. For $7 it was better than I could find in NYC and cheaper than my other spots. It would be the meal to start my day and sometimes the meal to end my night. The service was always polite and never rushed me or my colleagues out, it was the kind of nostalgic meal that was a good and dependable fix.
