Golden Nugget Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, Resort hotel and casino in Las Vegas, United States
Golden Nugget Las Vegas Hotel & Casino is a skyscraper resort and casino in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, that houses over 2,000 rooms across multiple floors alongside gaming tables, slot machines, and numerous restaurants. The complex combines accommodations, dining areas, gaming sections, and a large-scale pool facility within a single structure.
The establishment opened on August 30, 1946, marking an important stage in the growth of the gambling industry in the city. Over the decades, the property expanded several times and became a fixture in the downtown area.
The property stands at the heart of downtown gaming traditions and attracts both travelers and locals who come for the classic casino atmosphere that defines this part of the city. The name recalls the gold rush era and the fortunes prospectors once sought across the American West.
The building sits directly on Fremont Street Experience and offers easy walking access to pedestrian zones and nearby attractions in the center. The lobby and entrance areas remain open all day and connect directly to the different sections of the property.
The pool area spans three stories and includes an aquarium holding around 757,000 liters (200,000 gallons), where sharks swim and can be viewed through a transparent slide. Guests can slide through this tube and pass directly alongside the fish.
