Rough Guide
"With a hundred retrofurnished rooms – some with flowery windowboxes – it’s tiny by Vegas standards, and slightly lower-key than its Fremont Street neighbors."
Frommer's
"Always the standout hotel in the Downtown area, a recent face-lift and expansion has made it more appealing than ever." Full review
Concierge
"The only hotel-casino in the sector that comes close to rivaling the Strip in respectability is the Golden Nugget, with its clean... guest rooms, its boisterous casino, and its Rush Tower."
Fodor's
"The Golden Nugget has pretty much reigned as Downtown's top property since the mid 1970s, evolving with the times, but maintaining classic appeal." Full review
Lonely Planet

"For the price, the Golden Nugget is a steal, provided you don't mind staying in Vegas' older downtown neighborhood instead of the newer, livelier Strip." Full review

"The epitome of Las Vegas luxury ever since the 1960s."
Concierge
"Like Cher, who performs regularly in the hotel's major concert venue, Caesars Palace has been around forever—and seems forever new."
Jetsetter
"Roman mega-resort with six pools, two casinos and Michelin-starred restaurants in the heart of the Strip." Full review

Upscale
"A massive spa with Roman baths; elaborate mosaics and classical architecture around the pools; one of the biggest casinos in Vegas." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Caesars Palace opened in 1966 and was long the Strip’s most opulent and, some would say, most ostentatious hotel."
Time Out
"While the Bellagio is perhaps the epitome of new Vegas luxury, Caesars remains an icon of classic Sin City decadence." Full review
Star Service
"This longstanding tribute to the gods and great nobility of ancient Rome is a first-rate deluxe hotel with a less fluff than in the past. Still, there is something for everyone." Full review

Guests staying in the Augustus should request a room overlooking Bellagio's fountain.
Gayot
"With its towering row of fountains leading to its entrance, this hotel revolutionized the Strip when it opened in 1966."
BlackBook
"1966 classic casino stretches imperial length for a block in all directions with acres of gaming, miles of shops, dozens of restaurants and thousands of rooms."
