This aging hotel has been around and you can tell....

This aging hotel has been around and you can tell. It's old Vegas at its finest. There were some things that easily overlooked and some that were not. Our shower control would not stay on a temperature that was comfortable. The handle would flop straight down to cold. It did have a catch when turned straight up, but that was the setting to boil lobsters with. The beds were air mattress quality, if you like half empty air mattresses. The hotel does warn you of Clark County's room tax when you make your reservation on line. They do this in a tiny fine print that is too hard to see and goes largely unnoticed. The tax is not the hotels fault, but inadequate warning that you will pay an extra $150 at check in is their fault. You get $50 back at checkout, I am not sure why it even gets charged. Every trip throgh the lobby and casino you will be accosted by the time share people that want send you to a show if you just go to their soul sucking time share presentation. IF you are lucky you will get to hear an outdoor concert just next door to the hotel all night. The walls are so thin, it's like being right inside the amplifier. The best thing is the constant run of loud motorcycles and crappy little cars with ridiculously loud mufflers that race up and down the street all evening before the outdoor concert starts and continue on into the late night and early morning. All these things ensure that you will beat that bout with narcolepsy, so I guess if you are trying to beat narcolepsy, the Golden Nugget is a 4 star kinda place.
