Although this is a nice place and the rooms are nice it seemed to be a place for younger attention seeking females...goodness they were quite rowdy. I would choose the Rio hotel over this one any day
Much more updated and modern than I expected. Casino bars were fun, inexpensive, good energy and lively. Had a GREAT night!
This is a staple of downtown Vegas and a must visit. Friendly payouts and some really good people watching.
Comfy beds, customer service could be better, request to have creamer sent to the room never received
Clean comfortable rooms with a nice view and Fairly inexpensive. Located with access right onto Freemont St.
Very good looking hotel. Nice pool area, good food options and right on Fremont Street
Great time sat down and played my first blackjack gamble. Roy was our dealer and made it a fantastic time!
Went and got checked in was told we had to pay for the amenities even though we can't use half of them because of the covid we get to room and the bathroom is dirty trash hairs in the sink hair in the tub when calling down to ask if they can send somebody up to clean it they said it couldn't be done till the next day the room wasn't properly made there was no blankets on the bed other than that so far so good
Rooms were clean, food was great on the buffet and enjoyed ourselves at the pool!
Can't go wrong at the Golden nugget. Great atmosphere. Lots of fun.
I used to love the "old vegas" atmosphere around here but these places just don't stack up in the Air quality and atmosphere anymore. But if I were to stay in the Fremont area again I'd probably stay here.
Located at the heart of Fremont. Really nice pool area. Can get very crowded at times. Uber drop off is in a hidden area and can be hard to find.
Gambling here is great! And you can't beat the shark pool!
Always stay here . beds are comfy and pillows are top notch. great food . good times . lots of options . definitely our go to ...
Cool place to walk around and visit.
Check out the literal golden nugget there. Kinda neat.
Didn't stay here but partied Inn the pool lounge area it was beautiful the shark tank with amazing
Love in the awesome pool but the slide don't work but the pool is still awesome and the fish the sharks and the other fish
The room was great. The casino was okay. One of the best on Fremont Street.
It was not the worst experience I have had staying somewhere. The rooms were not anything special, just very standard hotel rooms. The staff was extremely nice though.
It was my husband and I's 1st time staying here and we cannot wait to come back!
The Golden Nugget is the best place to stay in downtown area. We love it there. Lots of nice areas to play and relax. Highly recommend this Hotel and we usually win some money!
Golden nugget is still great I wish they would ve kept some of their original restaurants and coffee shops.

I am back to revise my review.
After complaining to the management. The hotel manager is willing to exchange a room for us. In the Rush tower. These side of the hotel is so much better than the Carson tower. I am willing to even out my star.

We are staying in the Carson tower.
For a 4 star hotel, the place needs a lot of maintenance, everything is old and they still have the old fashion TV in the room. Your Wifi doesn't work! IT department has no idea what is going on. I am not ready to give you my MAC ID!
Suggestions:
1. Hotel IT, your signal is too weak for a big old hotel! How about a booster!
2. How about putting a couple of more people at the front desk to do the check in. We waited more than 45 minutes to check in.
3. How about changing the bathroom doors. The paint on the door chipped off, and hard to close.
4. How about train you staff on customer service and stop throwing the guests to another department instead of correcting the problem.
Had dinner at Lillie's Asian Cuisine inside the Golden Nugget. The appetizers were great, but the Pad Thai had a very strange flavor. My wife and I couldn't determine if the dish was made wrong or if it was just a weird / unique recipe. Good service and friendly staff, so I would come back for the appetizers again.
Alleys a great visit. Lovely rooms and some of the best bars in town.
We stayed in the Carson tower and it was so beautiful. Sooo much to do both inside the hotel and just outside within walking distance. Great location. Amazing staff. We will definitely stay here again.
A bit tired and dodgy looking. Had to pay for wifi. Not much going for it.
Very neat and nostalgic location. Nice place. Parking validation from gaming is a bit confusing, could use better instructions.
Would have given it 5, but the nice restaurants weren't open.
Nice room and price. No coffee in room is not good, nor fridge, or microwave. I can do without those, but there should be coffee. To have to pay 9.00 for 2 coffees is ridiculous.
It was good. The buffet was small, but the selection and quality of food were outstanding
Had fun here. Played some spots and blackjack. Casino was clean and cocktail waitresses were attentive.
They do temperature checks to get it, but they did have a decent selection of 5-10$ tables which is nice for people who are not big gamblers.
I had a great experience. Th rooms were clean , the hotel is near Fremont Street. The only downside is the pool was closed when we arrived. I remember once in December my family and I went swimming in the jacuzzi of this hotel. I am confused now why they didn't open it this year. Now I am from Colorado, our Decembers are a lot more colder than Nevada's. So I was a bit disappointed that the pool was closed in this warm weather. If only the pool was heated or something because the aquarium is really cool to look at up close. All in all, the hotel is fine and clean. Just remember if you are coming from colder climates don't be surprised if most of the pools will be closed here in Vegas.
Paying a resort fee pool is closed the guy that checked us in was very unfriendly! The uber drivers in this town are awesome! Next time staying on the strip.
The Golden Nugget is one of the oldest hotels in Vegas but walking into this place you'd never know it! It has been remodeled and looks fantastic! The rooms are spacious with large bathrooms that are handicap accessible. The coolest part is their pool area known as "The Tank" has a salt water tank in the middle of it which can be seen from parts of the hotel and it even has a shark in it!
I used to like to drink and gamble here but I don't anymore. Management is more concerned with $/hour than they are about customer service. This leads to less gambling, less drinking, and leads to fewer tips for the bartenders. Won't be back again until this policy is reversed.
**EDIT**
Came back again two years later. The policy is now even more draconian. Avoid this place at all costs. All of the other hotels/casinos/bars in the area are a FAR better deal.
Service was great. Had to put sheets on the couch to hide stains. Someone partied hard...
We didn't stay at the Golden Nugget but we went there for a few drinks and to watch the games on a Sunday morning. They had a nice sports betting area which had a bunch of tvs and every game on. It was packed so get there earlier to find a spot.
I visited a few years ago and it was a pretty basic place, which I loved. I came back to a very fancy place that was a total renovation. If you haven't checked it out lately prepare to be amazed by the transformation. I didn't stay here this time but it's a serious contender when I come back.
This is the best Hot in Las Vegas. The polite customer service is a breath of fresh air. Valet remembered that I was getting married. He congratulated me and was so nice. The rooms were clean and the room maids were fast and professional. Real nice experience!
You can get good food and drinks and have a great time you can relax bring your kids to eat and alot more things to do there
The budget is a classic spot to hang out on Fremont Street. The hotel is nice, and the pool (not open in winter) is one of the nicer ones downtown.
For it to be nestled in amongst the other "Old Vegas" casinos on freemont, it certainly maintains its dominance as an upper class hotel and casino. I enjoy myself everytime. The only thing holding it back from 5 stars is that is just old. Lol
I don't know if somebody had won the Mustang, but you must try, just 1.80 USD
Nice shark exhibit but difficult to see from the viewing area.
The bathtub was covered in rust. The hot tub was too hot to enjoy. Was not happy that there were no seats available at the pool, people put a towel on 6 chairs and go swim in the pool. I would like to lay out and get sun but no open chairs at the pool and have to PAY for a chair in the adult pool!!!! Not acceptable!
Wish I could of stayed there and enjoyed this place .If I ever come back I would love to book a room there
Nice cheap game tables but they do go up in cost after a certain time of day (later in the evening)
If I have this hotel right, it was near the Fremont Street experience. It's easy to get to, near an exciting and happening (three different live band areas, street performers, etc) area and very open.
Stayed in the Carson tower. Quiet. Rooms clean and complementary bottled water. Didn't spend much time in the room as it is Vegas. Casino is nice and workers helpful and friendly.
Nice Hotel. Nice. Room even though I got caught up in a scam there and still fighting it. Beware TLC Vacation Resort. Had to hire Lawyer still working on it.The hotel let's them work out of it they should screen better.
Great atmosphere and delicious food, whats not to love?
Great location for catching all the action in downtown LV! Comfortable & clean all over, and the pool is awesome!
Nice hotel and best rates. Our experience was great. Will definitely returning.
Can't compete with the bigger and newer hotels, but this hotel has some good features. Shark tank and slides by the pool area. Has an original hotel ambiance that newer hotels can't beat.
Really nice room for Fremont. Huge hotel and amazing pool. It was closed for winter when I was there so be sure to check if its open before you go.
Cool to see, and revived the old glory of Las Vegas. A lot of people, the casino's been to small for my expectations, it's ok
The hotel rooms are really nice. The room service food is really good. I won money on the machines. The area around the hotel is a lot like a 24hrs county fair. I'll definitely stay at the Golden Nugget every trip to Vegas.
Had a great time here next time I'm in Vegas I need to stay here.
This is an all in one, one stop place that has everything. The amenities are perfect, exceeded my expectations. How ever the rooms are horrible. For $296 I expected alot more. Not to mention when I called 15 minutes before arriving I was quoted $196. And when I arrive the guy tells me $296 and that whoever told me $196 was mistaken. Also this place is dated, if your looking for convenience to charge items in the room you have one option, the bathroom, everywhere else you end up having to pull out furniture to plug in behind it. Meanwhile I can stay on the strip, in the center of the action for $112 a night at the Marriott and I'm greeted with more politeness, better rooms, and a huge 3 person bath tub in room, and free valet parking. And after a 1 block walk I'm at the Bellagio, Paris, MGM, Planet Hollywood, and etc.
Another thing to note since it is on the bad side of town, you get the rowdy drunken crowd that comes with it, urinating everywhere. Quite a few of the elevators smelled like pee for obvious reasons.
The only reason I'm giving this place a 3 is for the amenities.
If I was judging just the amenities I'd give it a 5 star.
If I was judging just the room I'd give it a 1 star.
First time visit to this part of the city. It was amazing!
liked playing all of the table games. friendly staff and good odds on craps at 10x
Best place for slots. Pretty good atmosphere. Lots of good games
Great time, a must place to visit and don t be shy
So beautiful since remodeled. Nice luxurious atmosphere. The pool area is amazing. Good slot selection too.
Golden Nugget is a classic casino in downtown Las Vegas. It's beautifully kept and quite a bit larger than it looks from the outside. Be sure to check out the aquarium near the pool!
Love the Golden Nugget when in downtown Las Vegas. They do a great job of keeping the "old Vegas" feel even with all the modern conveniences. Rooms are always nice and the staff is always super friendly.
Bright lights, beautifully decorated and centered on Fremont Street.
Very good price for rooms we got, but we did have plumbing problem.
Their buffet was amazing! We went on Seafood Night! I always love to come back to this buffet! Quality food and the price is better compared to other buffets. The buffet has a special place in my heart because my husband and I ate here after we got married in Vegas. Also, the vibe in their casino is good! Friendly staff and met some nice people at Golden Nugget. Will always come back here!
Was fun. Was treated by old friend with nice room and concert for weekend
Golden Nugget is shinny on the outside BUT inside it is NOT nice to paying guests as the ATMS inside the Golden Nugget CHARGE HUGE FEES, NOT NICE
This was our first time staying in Downtown Las Vegas and I would highly recommend it. The Golden Nuggets is the perfect location to really enjoy the Fremont Street experience.
Public transport is located quite close to the hotel which makes the Strip easily accessible so you can experience both sides of Vegas.
We were really impressed with the pool facilities and the huge fish tank is a really great feature.
We stayed in the Carson Tower, the rideshare and tour bus pickups are right outside the entrance so it is very convenient.The room was very spacious, clean and very comfortable.
We visited during the pandemic. We had fun. Freemont street made me nervous with the sheer number of people without masks... but despite that, we still had a good time and here I am 3 weeks later still not sick! Thanks for a fun time GOLDEN Nugget!!!
A great place with a lot of experiences and adventures to go through
Super classy and laid back. Room service is unprecedented!
