I chose the Nugget over all the other Fremont Street casinos because of the water slide. Sliding through the shark tank was on my bucket list! It was definitely worth paying a few dollars extra to stay at the Nugget to experience one of the best water slides ever!
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The coffee pot had a sign on it saying it was an additional $10 to use. Ridiculous. Then I went and got a $3 small black cup of coffee at the Starbucks in the Golden Nugget. Still ridiculous.
The gambling minimums start at $10/hand, where as all of the other casinos within walking distance start at $5.
We didn't eat here during our stay because none of the restaurants looked appetizing. One restaurant was always full of people with empty tables. Every time we walked past, we noted how no one was ever eating, just waiting.
Now that my water slide experience is over, I'm not sure if I would ever stay at the Golden Nugget again. It was good, but I can pay less to stay at ever other hotel on Fremont Street.
