The Restaurant at Golden Nugget Las Vegas

"The Nugget may be smaller than its peers on the Strip, but it still offers plenty of entertainment options, with its 45,000-square-foot casino, two pools (one with a waterslide through a shark tank), multiple bars and restaurants, and a small spa"

"A slew of new restaurants have revitalised what had become a fairly tired catering programme"

"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 with “spacious”, “nicer-than-expected” rooms, especially those in the “gorgeous” Rush Tower that overlooks the “awesome” pool with a waterslide that sends “riders through a shark tank before splashdown”; a “polite”, “attentive” staff looks after guests, and perks include a number of “great” bars and restaurants, a “busy” casino and a spa"

"Don’t miss the pool, which has an enclosed slide that runs right through a shark-filled aquarium, and the Chart House restaurant, whose bar wraps around a 75,000-gallon tropical aquarium"

"You won't find any of the roaring hydraulics, flaming pyrotechnics and high-tech fiber-optics of The Strip hotels, though the owners, Houston-based Landry's Restaurant, continues to keep this place on track with regular renovations"
