Unlike fancy Strip resorts, there are fewer spoiled babies at this property. Mostly people in their thirties and older. Upgrade to the concierge floor and get a free razor and shaving cream.

Shampoo, conditioner and lotion are what we remember. It's not the most stuff, but there's no doubt it's all good.

The check-in process has always been quick when we stayed at the Golden Nugget Downtown Las Vegas Hotel. Fine room service, in-room check-out, elevator security. The on-site spa is top-notch, with his and hers facilities and masseuses who really are masseuses, and not glorified prostitutes. They are larger, have even nicer amenities, like big sectional sofas, and special services like VIP check-in and turn-down at night. If you want to roll large, get a Gold Club room in the North Tower. It is right across the street from the parking garage, though. The Carson Street Tower is plenty nice, but a longer walk from the casino and the rooms are smaller. The North leads directly into the casino. Of course, they try to get you to pay more for it. The Gold Tower is the nicer one, with better furnishings and slightly bigger rooms. The views are okay, but mostly look over North Las Vegas, the mountains, or the faraway Strip. More than most properties, this one actually achieves understated classiness. Good thing, because when they only have an iron, you know how we dry our hair. Other rooms are average-sized and first-class, with lots of marble, beautiful carpets, nice bedspreads and elegant accoutrements like flat-screened TVs and robes. The Rush Tower is the newest and has over-sized rooms with slightly swankier amenities like big ol' flat screens and nicer beds. The Golden Nugget Hotel Las Vegas have far and away the nicest rooms in Downtown Las Vegas.
