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
