Rough Guide "Redesigned in 2010 with a South Beach/ Latin feel, the veteran Trop now offers bright, welcoming sunset-toned rooms, huge beds and a fine array of pools."
Frommer's "We made fools of ourselves for a long time waiting for the changes at this hotel. It was totally worth it." Full review

BlackBook "Since its $200 million renovation, the new Tropicana has transformed, combining luxury South Beach ease with the shock-extravagance of Vegas."
Zagat3.5
""South Beach in the desert" is how fans describe this "wonderful" Vegas landmark that "has changed a lot" over the years, but remains "smaller" and does "not overwhelm"."
Condé Nast Traveler "For a tropical experience in Vegas, head to the Tropicana where you’ll find modern decorated rooms that will make you feel like you’re in South Beach." Full review

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

"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."
