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
OysterUpper-middle-range
"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 "Following the improvements, the Nugget has consolidated its position as the best casino on Fremont Street." Full review
Star Service "Despite a few flaws, it is one of the most solid values to be found in downtown Las Vegas." Full review
BlackBook "The flagship casino of revitalized downtown, this sixty-year-old property recently underwent a $160 million top-to-bottom renovation."
Zagat3.8
"The “closest thing Downtown has to a Strip hotel”, this “classy Vegas original” in the "heart of the fun" on Fremont Street is a “well-cared-for and well-loved” property."

Frommer's "A window has opened up for another hotel to slip in and battle for the crown of "Most Luxurious" in Vegas. The Mandarin Oriental seems more than up for the fight." Full review
Concierge "Executive Club rooms have vast views of the Strip and the meteorlike new Crystals shopping complex."
Fodor's "As a brand, Mandarin Oriental pledges to provide everything for the business traveler, and the Vegas property certainly delivers on that promise." Full review
Jetsetter "Serene CityCenter stay that adds a dose of sophistication to the Strip, with two pools, a spa and haute French fare." Full review
Star Service "Mandarin Oriental puts the new City Center development in a good light." Full review
i
Or perhaps more accurately, it can be described as American with a French twist, as guests choose their sauces to go with the beef from Nebraska and Idaho, or lobster from Maine.
Michelin Guide "This newly opened (2009) CityCenter oasis features gourmet dining, spa services, spacious guest rooms and a fitness center offering Pilates and yoga classes."
Gayot "Located in the new CityCenter development, this LEED Gold-certified property resides in a 47-story non-gaming building in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip."
Zagat4.3
""Marvel at the madness that is Vegas without getting involved in it" at this "unreal" yet "serene" casino-free hotel on the Strip boasting "true luxury" and a staff that "treats you like royalty"."
Travel + Leisure "At the 392-room property, interior designer Adam Tihany tries to re-create the experience of contemporary Hong Kong." Full review
Afar Magazine "One of the rare, non-casino luxury hotels that provide an almost residence-like respite within steps of all that makes Las Vegas Las Vegas." Full review
