CocoNugget Pool Parties on Fridays and Saturday Nights are da bomb! We were so disappointed with the Fremont Street Experience because they carded and allowed only 21+ to participate in the festivities. We had a two teenage daughters with us.
We had already paid $10 in parking, so we decided to walk the outskirts of the FSE. We were overwhelmed by the smoke-heavy Four Queens. We looked at the Golden Nugget and decided that we'd try our luck there to find something fun to do. We were not disappointed.
The CocoNugget Pool Parties are open to the public for free. They have live music going. The lights are turned on, and you can see the fabulous waterslide tube through their shark and large ocean fish tank. There were loungers partially submerge in the shallow part of the pool. We took off our sandals and dipped our tired feet in the cool waters. We listened to the band, enjoyed a performance of "Thriller" by a young dancer. We watched guests order drinks and frolic in the shallows of the pool. Good-looking dealers entertained 21+ guests on table games. You have to be 21+ to wager.
We enjoyed our evening as a family in the Fremont area, thanks to Golden Nugget.
