First of all, I love old Vegas. I'm all about downtown because it still has a rat pack feel and it's got a funky retro thing going. That's why I love the Nugget. It's one of the original old school casinos and it has not forgotten what great customer service is. They seem to have had a recent update but it just added to the old school atmosphere. The rooms are large, nicely appointed and clean.
The only downside is that because my last visit was on the last day of bike week, they enforce a "no colors" policy that borders on ridiculous. None the less, it remains one of my favorite places to stay.
