Golden Nugget Las Vegas

Golden Nugget Las Vegas Review Jump to comments

In the old days of Las Vegas, the Golden Nugget was a casino unlike any other. Today, it’s still a great casino and in fact, the Golden Nugget Casino offers some of the highest limit gambling in downtown Las Vegas. It’s located in the heart of downtown. The Golden Nugget hotel rooms are classical and elegant. Unlike most of the Las Vegas Strip, which can be a little pricey, rooms at the Golden Nugget Casino can be found starting at around $50. Staying in Las Vegas is extremely affordable if you know where to look. Downtown is a great place to stay because the rooms are usually much more inexpensive. It is also home to some of the lowest gambling limits in the city, which is perfect for those wishing to learn how to play.

Like many good casinos, the Golden Nugget has a great steakhouse—Vic & Anthony’s. Their steakhouse features the best cuts of steak as well as fresh seafood, like lobster. There are 8 other restaurants and a Starbucks, as well as 7 bar/lounges, including the Sports Book Bar, a full-service spa & salon and fitness center, the $30 million award-winning Tank and HideOut pool complex, shops and more than 37,000 square feet of meeting and event space. 

What’s the point of going to a place called the Golden Nugget if you can’t see any Gold? Well, you are in luck. It’s called the Hand of Faith and it’s one exhibit you have to see to believe. The Hand of Faith is the largest gold nugget on public display on the entire planet! This gold nugget was found in Australia and is now on display in downtown Las Vegas. The Hand of Faith (which actually looks like a hand) weighs in at over 54 lbs. That’s 875 ounces of gold in this one nugget. Imagine what it’s worth at today’s gold prices.

Visitors to the Nugget can also take advantage of the Fremont Street Experience, which is five blocks of non-stop action.
