| - Right in the middle of downtown on Fremont Street, the Golden Nugget is a piece of classic Las Vegas!
Staying here during a weekend-long event, the hotel and it's casino, pool, and buffet areas were 'home base' and 'ground zero' for a huge group of party-goers-- and since we had booked our room through the group's room block months in advance, the rates were pretty reasonable, too (not so reasonable outside of the room block, though: it seems that the Nugget was charging quite a bit more for whatever rooms were still available on the weekend we were there due to a festival going on at the same time). Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the staff were great.
The hotel pool here has been featured in magazines and television shows: it features a huge shark tank with a waterslide running through it! A pretty amazing piece of work, and a blast to ride. :) The buffet wasn't anything to get too excited about, but not a bad deal, either: all you can eat with a few cook-to-order stations for $13 on weekdays or with mimosas for $19 on weekends. Of course, there are plenty of slot machines and table games in the casino here, too. Fun place!
