By far, the nicest hotel,in an aesthetic sense, in Downtown. Rooms were nice and the beautiful newly remodeled pool is very cool with the shark tank in the center. There's a long slide that can only be accessed by taking an elevator to the 2nd floor. Please note: the height requirement is 48". Hubby went on it and said it was fun but hard to see the sharks as you come down since it's so fast. However, it was fun just to wade in the pool and view the sealife in the aquarium. The illusion is cool if you're in the pool and it looks like you're swimming with the sharks. Tip: bring goggles to get the full effect. Although the pool officially closes at 8 pm, there are folks getting drinks from the bar afterwards and settling in a nice cozy couch huddling near the firepits. I heard the jacuzzi stays open until 2 am?!
You dont have to be a guest to play blackjack at the pool side tables. We chose the Golden Nugget for the new pool and their reputation for being a choice hotel. It was nice but I give it 3 stars only because I don't have reason to stay again since my son was over swimming after an hour! The valet service was a bit rude. Other than that, this is a nice hotel for first time visitors or those who like to play in downtown and want to stay at a nicer place.
