Thank the Lord...er...uh...I guess since it's Vegas it'd be more like Satan?
I was about to give up on Vegas and viola! Here is the Golden Nugget! Every time I've been to this town I've stayed on the Strip and I see the error in my ways now. Fremont might be a bit older but it's definitely the kind of kitschy that I crave. Strangely enough though, the Golden Nugget does not give away it's age at any point. You can tell that they've put good money into renovations.
Now, I will admit my stay was not all shiny and perfect. Our neighbors wonderful, sweet children started screaming at 6:45am. Yes, I said it. 6 fucking 45 am in the morning. It bothered me so much that in my dreams I was fantasizing about opening the door between our rooms and screaming at them. This ended at around 8 am when I couldn't take it anymore. So I called the front desk..
"Good morning Mrs. Hilmers! Is there something we can do for you?"
"...yes....the room next to us....their kids have been screaming since 6:45am....is there anything you can do?"
"We could send security up to check on them."
"..oh...I don't think it's a security issue, I think they are just horrible children."
The hotel went to great lengths to make sure the rest of our stay here was pleasant and comp'd us a meal. The room we were moved to had a great view of the strip which I was more than happy to be nowhere near.
So yes, I think I've found my hotel!
Also, the shark tank is pretty awesome. The slide..well..don't think you'll see fish when you go down the slide. It's more like blurs of silver, but the slide is still great. I think the pool is half kid urine, but somehow the tank kept me distracted from that. :D
