| - Not bad at all! We all know that there are a ton of hotel/casinos to choose from in Vegas, on and off the Strip. In general, the more you pay, the better the quality. If you're looking for a comparatively inexpensive but decent hotel and casino in Vegas, look no further than the Golden Nugget. The rooms are certainly a little worn, but quite well maintained.
The floor has quite a lot of space, and a good number of slots, tables, and places to sink your $$$ in style. I had pretty good luck with the 25 cent machines this time. The buffets here aren't cheap, but the food selection, especially for the Sunday Brunch, was impressive. They also have a pool with a multi-story water slide, a vending machine that dispenses gold, and no matter where you are in the hotel, you're never far from a drink.
Minuses? It's smoky, although that's de rigueur in all the casinos around. Now really though guys, THREE DOLLARS for a bottle of Dasani water out of the vending machine? Stupid! You can get a deck of used playing cards for a dollar, but a 20 oz bottle for water for three? Sheesh.
I could go around quibbling about a dozen things, but what I really need to be focusing on in this review is how GOOD the Golden Nugget really is--and there's a lot if awesome here. Looking for a spot in Vegas that won't break the bank (unless you let it)? Want to bring the kids too? Try the Golden Nugget.
