| - I used to be a Strip Snob. If my hotel wasn't on the strip, I wasn't going to Las Vegas. Being coerced by friends to buy cheap packages to Vegas, I succumbed myself to staying at The Main Street and The California Hotel. Both locations, I prefer not to head back to, unless I have no choice. Mainly because there are no poker rooms at either casino. I've always heard that Golden Nugget was "THE BEST" downtown hotel to stay at. OK, being the Strip Snob that I am, let me check it out and make my own decision.
After the first time I stayed at the Nugget, years ago, I have been sold! Strip Snob no more. I am a Golden Nugget Snob! I just LOVE this location! It's centrally located downtown and the casino is beautiful. They have an awesome pool where they have a slide you go through where you can whiz through sharks swimming in the tank, the food is good and the POKER ROOM is awesome! This is by far my favorite poker room because the friendly dealers make it so welcoming and even when I was only going to Vegas once every half year to quarter, they would still remember me. Now when I walk in, I feel like Norm from Cheers when the old-timers pop their heads up and say hi.
The rooms are very spacious and although I haven't stayed in the new Rush Tower yet, all the rooms I've been in have ample space. The only thing I would suggest is that if this is your first time to Vegas, go experience the Vegas on the Strip, what you see in the movies. When you become a regular like me where the view is not a big deal and you want to be at a place where you don't have to wait a half hour for valet to get your car, come to the Nugget. It's really my home away from home.
