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 "The rates are not bad for such well-equipped rooms."
Frommer's "As long as prices hold true (as always, they can vary), this hotel is one of the best bargains in town, despite the location." Full review
DK Eyewitness "French Quarter-themed hotel, with green-shuttered windows and wrought-iron balconies."
Time Out "The theme at the Orleans is more Disneyland than French Quarter. Still, the locals don't seem to mind, mostly because the Vegas-style action is very real." Full review
Star Service "Wedged between Home Depot and Adult Emporium, this locale is far from ideal, but inside the hotel the mood is lively, riffing on Mardi Gras 24/7." Full review
Gayot "When this resort opened in December 1996, it had 810 rooms and 30 suites in a 21-story tower."
BlackBook "The Orleans' Big Easy theme is largely outside, with the enormous, boxy casino painted up as pastel row houses with wrought-iron balconies."
Zagat3.7
"An "excellent" West of Strip option that has "just about anything you want to do"."
Lonely Planet "Tastefully appointed French-provincial rooms are good-value 'petite suites,' with fitness center access, on-site childcare, a movie theater and a bowling alley." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A bargain by Las Vegas casino standards. This Mardi Gras-themed hotel is a short shuttle ride west of the Strip. Families will find plenty to amuse kids here." Full review
