| - by far the best hotel in downtown Las Vegas.
stayed in a Carson Tower room with a few friends and all of my basic necessities for a quality hotel room were met.
The beds were clean, the bathroom was clean, the HDTV actually worked :), and there was hot water. woot!!!
if your staying near the Carson Tower, there's a Starbucks and the gift shop both located right downstairs near the elevators.
the casino is lot more spacious compared to the rest of the casino's on Fremont Street and is clean and the decor is quite charming. it doesn't look like a dump at all!!! The swimming pool that's wrapped around the fish/shark tank is beautiful also.
try the italian restaurant Grotto also. it's fabulous
ONE ISSUE that bothered me is the whole parking situation at the GN.
When we arrived at the golden nugget, we proceeded to the parking garage.
guy in suit " I need to see your room key"
us " uh, we haven't checked in yet"
guy in suit " well you need a hotel key for free parking or we are going to charge you for parking"
alas, we ended stopping by the valet temporarily to check in. Afterwards we came back out and entered the parking garage. The guy in the suit just waved us in as we showed him our room keys.
next afternoon as we check out, we proceed to leave the parking garage.
lady at the exit asked us where our ticket was.
us " uh what ticket? we are hotel guests. we are just leaving"
lady "your supposed to have a ticket stub. I am sorry, I have to charge you for parking in our garage"
us " wait what!!!, the guy in the suit just waved us in as we entered yesterday.
few minutes later, I finally find my hotel check out invoice and prove to her that we were actual guests.
lady " ok, fine, i'll let you guys off the hook this time.
my whole experience at the Golden Nugget was awesome, except for the whole parking situation. just remember to get a ticket stub as you enter the garage or you will be harassed upon leaving.
