I had to stay in Vegas for one night, traveling for a freelance work project. I generally loathe everything Vegas stands for, so I searched for the cheapest casino that wouldn't leave me with bed bugs or worse. The Golden Nugget was a surprisingly good value. My room was clean and tasteful. The center pool/shark tank made for an interesting scene at night. And I won $102 on the first dollar I gambled. I won't be coming back unless I have to, but for a night in Vegas, you could do a lot worse than the Golden Nugget.
