| - Sweet Jesus....
I think I've discovered another layer of hell in what is Las Vegas. Thy name is Golden Nugget. Seriously, this place is what trashy ass people think may be fancy. Oh, where do I start.... Well, lets start with check-in.
I wanted to stay at this hotel because it was the main hotel used for Punk Rock Bowling. I figured that it must be okay if the event locks in rooms there, plus it was close to where my friends were staying at The D. So I walk in and boom- GAG! COUGH! COUGH! Is this 1995 or 2015? WHO STILL ALLOWS SMOKING INDOORS?! Are you kidding me?! Gross. Also, why is there such a late check-in? So, after an eye-spraining eye-roll, we make it in the maze that is the hotel/casino and enter into our room. At first glance it seems okay and an upgrade from The D, but not by much. What I do notice is that the room is not as cool as it should be for such a hot day. At first I think, no problem, I will just turn the system down. NOPE. Turns out that there is a controlled thermostat and limits how cold you can make your room. Now, picture me coming from Texas to this weather (we hadn't gotten fully hot yet) and I am dying and slow, painful death. After calling to get the unit serviced, I figured out what was going on because it is the same crap I've encountered before. Anywho, I get over the heat and cool down a bit and finally decide to explore the room. For a place that charges you a "resort fee", I don't feel like I'm getting any perks. The internet is so slow that I opt to just use the LTE system from my phone company. The two bottles of water they provide you a day has to be tap from California. The pool was really small for what I would think a "resort" would have. Also, I didn't want to swim in there after looking at a few crusty punks floating around in there. I know those kids have more money than I do, but funk knows no socioeconomic bounds. No thanks. Whatever else the "resort fee" is supposed to cover is beyond me because I just see it as $20/night wasted. I guess the free parking is cool, but I did not get a rental car (big mistake) so I dunno.
I looked around the room and found the room safe that was meh at best. I prayed that I would be able to get my medication out of it. But you know, it did not matter if I had it in there or not. I don't want to mess up anyone's false sense of security or anything, but if you look at the directions on there, you can see that anyone can still get into your safe. Booo. I look in the closet and see that they had two decent looking robes in there. I guess people get excited about their robes because they left a note on there stating that if the robe was missing that they would charge you $65. I mean, they said it nicer than that but that was the gist. To my surprise though is that the robes had the texture of burlap. WHO WANTS BURLAP BRUSHING THEIR BUTT CHEEKS?! There's not enough booze in the world to make that okay. So fine, no robe, janky safe, iPhone 4 and under compatible alarm clock, and cheap pillows. Oh jeez, we are batting for 100 here. It's a sad moment when you realize that you would have done better at a Holiday Inn. A HOLIDAY INN, PEOPLE! Let that marinate. I would go into what all I felt about the bathroom, but this review is already way too long. All I will say on that is my towels smelled burnt and full of cigarette smoke. It is not the look to feel dirtier AFTER your shower than before.
Now, I know someone is saying, "damn she's a princess", Well, kinda, but I expect more at these prices. If they would have done $65 a night, we could talk, but they want much more for f-all in return. I would say stay somewhere else, but my vote is for you not to go to Vegas at all unless you have a darn good reason for great friends that live there. But if you must, don't stay here unless you want a hot scratchy ass, and if you do, don't forget the bread crumbs so you can find you way back to your room. Also, work on your dodging skills because people will try to get you to book a room in advance for next year. No thanks.
I guess I should leave on a good note. The customer service was pretty good. There ya go. Yay for you.
