We were in Vegas for business. When I realized we were staying at the Golden Nugget, I invisioned old smelly Vegas rooms. It was the first time staying on the old side. I was VERY HAPPILY surprised at how nice the hotel was. Amazing pool with fish tank, water slide, nice restaurants & room was nice, clean & updated. A few negatives. No refrigerator or microwave in rooms. We were never told about construction on room down the hall. You could hear drills, hammering etc..... In morning. We were not accomodated at all after it being mentioned at front desk. I really liked staying on the old side. Everything is much closer together, more reasonable prices, compared to newer side. Fremont street experience was defenetly an experience. I would recommend NOT taking kids. Too many naked men & women trying to make a buck. Adult friendly. Overall I would recommend family & friends to stay at Golden Nugget.
