The lack of a fridge meant that the only option for keeping drinks cold was the ice machine, which is a less than ideal solution for those who prefer the comfort and convenience of private amenities. Once in the rooms, the absence of in-room refrigeration was a noticeable inconvenience. This slow service set a rather disappointing tone for the stay and certainly left much room for improvement. For a hotel that boasts the grandeur and allure of old-school Vegas, the efficiency of handling guests' arrivals did not live up to expectations. The check-in process could be described as a patience-testing ordeal, with wait times extending to an hour. It's a detail that should not be overlooked in the hospitality industry today. Guests who arrive with heavy luggage or those requiring mobility assistance would find this particularly challenging. However, my stay revealed that while the hotel shines in location, it lacks in modern-day conveniences.įrom the outset, the absence of an access ramp or automatic doors at the entrance was more than a mere oversight it was an inconvenience. The location alone is a draw, placing guests at the heart of Vegas's original bustling casino corridor, surrounded by the neon spectacle and within an earshot of the live entertainment that Fremont Street is famed for. The Golden Nugget Hotel, a staple on the iconic Fremont Street in Las Vegas, offers a blend of the city's vintage charm and the excitement of being in the thick of the action. An incredible hotel with an incredible range of amenities, look out in particular for the Hand of Faith in the lobby - a 61-pound gold nugget found in Australia in 1980 with a metal detector just six inches below ground – now that’s Lady Luck at her finest! Come sundown, Troy Liquor Bar is the place to be with a lively atmosphere, DJs and exotic cocktails.

Alternatively, head to Chart House for sumptuous seafood, Red for Pan-Asian cuisine or Grotto for Italian fare. Other temptations include a superb spa with steam rooms, sauna, massage and beauty treatments plus a state-of-the-art fitness centre to work off those American-sized portions! Several restaurants are at your disposal, including Vic and Anthony’s, one of the country’s finest steakhouses. There’s also an infinity pool, aptly named The Hideout, which is strictly for adults only. Then there's the Tank, as the swimming complex is known, comes complete with a shark tank, 3-storey waterslide and 13 private cabanas for hire. The accommodation is divided between four majestic towers with wonderful views of the Las Vegas Strip, the Spring Mountains and the hotel’s incredible pool.

Boasting some of Las Vegas’ finest rooms and suites after a $380 million dollar transformation, it’s easy to understand why.
