We went to the Atlantis in the Bahamas last year and the Golden Nugget pool reminded me of a mini-miniature version of it. There is a water slide that goes through a shark tank...in Vegas...swimming with the fishes. A huge swim up aquarium, waterfalls, the pool wraps around so part of it is in the shade in case you get too hot. There is the usual pool lounge seating area where you can lay out if you can find an empty spot...grab a couple towels to cover the chairs. The cushions could use a change as they looked kinda worn and the material gets hot. Upstairs they offer cabana seating for rent with a birds eye view of below. They don't allow outside food but if you bring snacks and drinks in a beach bag, they'll let you pass. Just don't try to bring a big Cane's Chicken bag in or you'll get booted lol!
There is also blackjack by the pool with girl dealers in bikinis :)
Admission to the pool is $20/person but if you get a room which is about $45, you can bring in people with your room key. The rooms are pretty nice for the money.
For visitors, remember to get your 3 hour parking validatation at the cafe near the entrance. Parking is $2 per hour and free if you show your room key.
A nice little family oriented pool for a brief "I'm-on-vacation" feel :)
