This is my first time staying off the strip and I don't feel like I missed anything. As long as you have a car I think you are A-ok. The room was clean. We had a fabulous view of the greyhound bus station and Plaza hotel with their 6.99 prime rib dinner special. But like Brigid C. mentioned as well as other reviewers mentioned the Golden Nugget is still under construction. Probably explains the ultra cheap price. It didn't bother us too much since we hardly spent anytime in our hotel. I am really upset that I did not get to enjoy the crazy water slide aquarium that they are so tediously working on. When it will be completed you will be able to go down a tube slide through an aquarium with sharks. How crazy is that?!
