Golden Nugget Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

Why we like it

The nicest rooms downtown — The Tank pool has a three-story shark tank water slide through it.

Golden Nugget Las Vegas Hotel & Casino sits in Downtown Fremont — one of the six Vegas-region destinations we cover on TheVegasHub. Our team has stayed at the property enough times to know what's worth asking for at check-in, which rooms to request, and when rates are at their best. If you're booking through our link, you'll see the member rate — typically 10-25% below what the hotel quotes on its own site or on Booking.com.

Insider tips

• 01 Under the Fremont Street canopy, the neon light show runs every hour after dark. Free.
• 02 Walk the Fremont Street Experience at night. Free shows, cheaper drinks than the Strip.
• 03 Book a cabana at least 2 weeks out for weekend dates — they sell out.
• 04 Request a room on a renewed floor — even luxury towers have varying renovation tiers.
• 05 Member rates (what you get through our link) typically save 10-25% vs the public rate advertised on the hotel's own site.
• 06 Book through our link before your trip; don't wait until you're checking in — the rate can change.
