Best experience at the casino. As complete amateurs decided to try our luck and the blackjack tables were a minimum $5 dollar bet which is cheaper than the Strip. Had a lovely croupier who guided us and even walked away with winnings. Drinks were free whilst at the tables. A great way to spend the evening at this iconic casino.

When in Vegas, ya gotta visit some of the originals; like the Golden Nugget. It's in the highly overrated Fremont Street Experience of downtown. Easiest way to get there from the strip is by double decker bus, which drops you off within a short walking distance of Fremont Street. Yep. It's safe too. The Nugget obviously reflects its age and style from yesteryear, but one doesn't go to Vegas without stepping back in time, if not just for a little while.

Dealers and servers were friendly. We stayed four nights here but our preferred table game doesn’t open until noon even with the request at 6 am.
Taxi cabs with no drivers equal no fare. Glad your business is doing great as you turned mine away several times.

We booked 3 rooms for my daughter’s impromptu wedding and the front desk talked us into upgrading to the time of $100 each. Big dated rooms over the air conditioning and equipment. So noisy and terrible views. My other smaller room would have been better! Beware!!

This has been the worst hotel experience in my life. We are staying in Rush Tower and the noise from Fremont Street is unbearable. The music is pulsating in our room from 6pm until 2am. The worst part is we paid over $50 for an upgrade just to have a Keurig Coffee maker in our room and we brought my parents who are in their 80’s. I have never written a bad review of anything but this is beyond the worst!

Ok. I'll point out that the Valet Parking people were great. The maids were also great and the staff, in general, were very nice. The exceptions were: the staff at the bellhop desk, who demand a tip in advance. The cheapest trick is making an appointment to get your room cleaned. This really.set me off. We stayed 5 nights for the Toy Show. It's a very important event and stay in groups of many at one hotel. You check in and you are not told about the ridiculous rip-off rules that "apply " to the room- cleaning. Then, you find out, maybe, after the first day your room hasn't been cleaned, that you need to make an appointment before noon a day in advanced. You send a message to the number that's printed on a sign they leave in your room.
A few hours later, you sent it before noon, they send a text back saying you have to go to a link and answer a nonsense questionnaire to get your room cleaned. To make a long, upsetting story short, in 5 nights and 4 days, we got our room cleaned "once." I should also point out that there was a blue pill and a dime under one armchair that was still there after the only cleaning we got. The rooms have nothing in them. No garbage bags, no even a "do not disturb" sign. You have to ask for an iron and ironing board ... and tip the person. I had to tip a maid to get clean towels. We were 10 reps and we all had the same ugly experience. We have shows in Vegas 3 to 4 times a year. Needless to say, we will never stay in this hotel again. I hate getting ripped off!!

Very disappointed. 1st off we stood in line for a bit to check in and the lady was kind of snippy and said we would get a text when our room was ready. Waited a few hours and still never received a text. Went back to stand in line again and was told our room had been ready. Get to our room and our roll away bed was not in there. Had to call and request it again. Finally brought us an "air mattress". Went to put my toiletries up and there is old trash from the previous guest under the bathroom sink. Went to casino and all smoking with no ventilation. That evening we aired up the air mattress and with in a few hours it was completely flat. Called downstairs and the lady who answered said "ok I will let them know" and then hung up before I could say anything else. 30 minutes later she comes knocking on the door and when my son asked if she wanted the other air mattress back she said, "huh, no leave it in there" very rude and walked away. Plus our sheets had old blood stains on them. We drove 5 hours so I can bring my husband, who is on oxygen, for his birthday to try another place other than Kickapoo which we really like. Needless to say he had to spend it in the room because of the smoking in the entire lobby areas because of the casino. And for the price of the room, it’s rather ridiculous there was no fridge or microwave. 1st time and definitely the last we will ever go there. The only thing nice was the vallet guys. They were quick and helpful and kind.

Terrible! We stayed here back in December as well. We got the room with a jacuzzi and our jacuzzi did not work, they could not fix it and said they were full and had no other rooms. We specifically got the room for the jacuzzi. This time, maintenance knocked on our door extremely early(Our privacy hanger was on the door) When we did not answer, they called. They wanted to do maintenance on our AC that would take a few hours.

We stopped by the Golden Nugget where we stay 1-2 times a year. I was appalled when I went to the front desk and saw kiosks everywhere and but only one person at the front! They have replaced people with self check in, the personal touch is gone! We literally couldn’t book a room. Told to call customer service! It’s time to go to Circa or The D. Golden Nugget just lost a long time customer for the past decade! All of the friendly smiles are not at the front when you enter. The casino smelled and the ventilation is lacking. So very sad! This use to be a very well run casino and hotel.

It's a long hike!
Better to take the bus,just outside of Binion's casino.
Buy a bus pass at the kiosk there.You have a few choices:one time,all day or 3 day passes. Good deal.
