I really enjoyed the Nugget!
My stay started out good, and went well the whole time.
Check-in was a breeze in the Rush tower except for walking in and not being able to find the front desk. I asked where it was and the security pointed straight ahead. It was right in front of me. I just didnt notice because there was nobody at all in line!
The check in clerk was really nice and put us in a room away from Fremont because it can get loud in the rooms facing that direction. We got our keys and headed up to our room which was very convenient to the casino floor.
The room was very nice. Classy dark color scheme in the bathrooms, a nice L-shaped leather couch and a really comfy bed. It was spacious and VERY clean. Not hotel room-wiped down but still skeezy feeling clean. Clean. The tv worked great and had about 20 HD channels. There was 4 cups of Keurig coffee and a machine. The cups are $10 for four. That is less than you will pay in the casino folks....
We had a nice view looking out towards the strip, even the windows were clean. We also got to see a guy get searched by the police in front of the bus station which was good for a laugh.
The casino itself is great with all kinds of new slots, cheap minimums on table games (or at least on roulette since thats what I play). There are some fancier bars and restaurants and also some cheaper stuff.
I had a fantastic drink at the Ice Bar. The bartender there really takes pride in his job. I had something with vodka and jalapenos. He mixed it up, tasted it by taking a little out with a straw and threw it away!!!! I guess it didnt meet his strict standards. He immediately mixed another and tasted it again. He pronounced that one fit to drink and handed it to me. It was really awesome. Had a nice jalapeno burn but not overpowering. I actually felt it was worth the $12.
They also give you a coupon book upon check in and it has lots of great deals, make sure to use it. Even free drinks in some places!
All in all an excellent stay and I'll definitely be back. Thanks for a great time GN!
