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."

Rough Guide "Aimed especially at business travellers, this hip modern condohotel makes a peaceful retreat at the heart of CityCenter."
Frommer's "Although a part of CityCenter, Vdara seems to be a world away both physically and spiritually from the rest of the eye-popping visual splendor that makes up the complex." Full review
Fodor's "This boutique (read: low-key) property is actually a hotel-condo, with beautiful independently owned suites that are arranged like efficiency apartments." Full review
OysterLuxury
"It's a modern, sumptuous hotel with impressive rooms (they're all suites), a lobby bar, and a decent pool." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The interior was designed by Karim Rashid in florid gold and pink, and has a biomorphic pink settee breaking through the glass exterior wall, literally bridging inside and out." Full review
Star Service "The all-suite 57-story Vdara, in the City Center complex on The Strip, is in the eye of the hurricane, an all-suite, smoke-free, nongaming hotel offering a sense of refuge from the clang and clamor." Full review
BlackBook "The Vdara is one of City Center's non-gaming hotels, trading the tables for deluxe suites, jumbo conference rooms, and upscale shopping."
Zagat4.7
"“Spacious, modern” digs "blow you away" with “beautiful" views and “to-die-for” bathrooms (many also have kitchenettes) at this “superb”, “quiet” condo-style property."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Guest suites with open floor plans, custom-designed artwork and a smoothie bar in the spa are just a few of the details that set Vdara Hotel & Spa... apart from the rest of the Las Vegas Strip." Full review
Gayot "The Vdara Hotel & Spa features everything you need for a luxury experience in Las Vegas --- the ultimate escape mixed with the excitement of the Strip." Full review
