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
"Looking like a million bucks, this casino hotel has set the downtown benchmark for extravagance." Full review
Oyster

"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
Time Out

"The location is great... but the actual accommodation varies enormously."
Frommer's
"Renovations and expansions over the years aren't going to make Siegel's "real class joint" cause you to forget about, say, the rooms at The Palazzo, but they have freshened the joint up." Full review
Fodor's
"This elaborately landscaped, pink, classic-era resort with a 15-acre pool complex is still one of the best in town choices in town." Full review

Be sure to check out the on-site wildlife area, complete with a koi pond and, naturally, a flamboyance of flamingoes.
Travel + Leisure
"Flamingo Las Vegas, which was originally owned by Bugsy Siegel in 1946, has exuberantly remade itself and become the hippest hotel on the Strip." Full review
Time Out
"The Flamingo is the Strip's sleeping giant. Its location at the heart of the action couldn't be better; and thanks to its beginnings under Bugsy Siegel, its name is virtually legendary." Full review
Star Service
"This is in an undeniably excellent location, and...it is at least one of the best bargains on The Strip." Full review
Gayot
"The 3,642 rooms and suites are nicely appointed and a great value in these price ranges."
BlackBook
"There's pretty much nothing left of the original casino that Bugsy Siegel built at the birth of Vegas, the one where Elvis won his race car at the beginning of Viva Las Vegas."
Lonely Planet
"Legendary Miami-style casino hotel; middle Strip, next to the new Linq complex; white mod furnishings; waterslides and lagoons make it extra family-friendly." Full review
The Telegraph

"Smack bang mid-Strip, this vintage casino hotel mixes a sprinkling of glitz with legendary mobster history." Full review
