Nugget Casino Resort, Casino resort in Sparks, United States.
The Nugget Casino Resort spans 52,000 square feet of gaming space and features two 29-story towers situated between Interstate 80 and Union Pacific rail yard.
Opening in March 1955, the resort was initially called Dick Graves' Nugget before John Ascuaga acquired it in 1960 and expanded it throughout subsequent decades.
The resort hosts the annual Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off and Star-Spangled Sparks celebration with extensive fireworks displays in Northern Nevada.
The facility contains 1,600 hotel rooms, multiple restaurants including Island Grill and Rosie's Café, plus dedicated spaces for meetings and entertainment performances.
A solid gold rooster statue belonging to the resort was seized by U.S. Marshals in 1960 but returned in 1962 following legal proceedings.
