Love The Place
I've stayed here over 20 times in the past ten years, I guess I'm a serious gambler. I've never had a problem with my room or making a reservation on the GN website. Staff has been friendly and efficient. Exception are the bartenders, if they feel like it they'll ignore you, but that's the way it is in all casinos. Room has always been fine, but I've upgraded frrom Carson Tower to Gold Club rooms. I got tired of the walk from the Carson Tower to the casino. Its hard to find a seat at a table game, they, like all casinos are only opening up tables based on what they think is demand. As a result all tables are full and it's hard to find a seat, especially at night. Buffet is decent, better than a lot of places, but not as good as when Steve Wynn owned the place. I didn't really notice any real smell of smoke and I'm not a smoker, ventlation is pretty good. I'll be going back in June of 2012, and I'll be staying at the Golden Nugget. I'd recommend the property to anyone, except if you have kids. Leave them at home.
