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

Rough Guide "Ever since the late 1980s, Steve Wynn has defined Las Vegas’s highest standard of luxury."
Frommer's "Steve Wynn, a modern-day Vegas legend... spent nearly $3 billion to create this eponymous shrine to luxury... One can still see evidence of the investment at every turn." Full review
Concierge "While most Strip resorts are big on flashy facades, the finishes at Wynn are the real thing, from hand-laid mosaic tile floors to natural stone walls."
Fodor's "The resort is a best-of-everything experience—a playground for jet-setters, high rollers, or anyone who wants to feel like one." Full review
Insight Guides "They emphasize elegance rather than a particular theme, with lavish amenities in each room and glamorous spas."
Jetsetter "Classy, kitsch-free megaresort with the Strip’s only golf course, indoor-outdoor restaurants and one of the city’s best pool scenes." Full review

Time Out "Luxury is everywhere, as you'd expect from a casino that cost somewhere in the region of $2.7 billion." Full review
Star Service "On the northern edge of the "respectable" part of The Strip...this sexy, curved, copper-clad high-rise is...a tribute to luxury in the land of excess." Full review
