I do like to play poker there, but I'd rather stay at the Plaza since they have better black jack games and video poker pay schedules...which helps to get room and resort fees comped. GN jacks up their prices nearly as high as Derek Stevens does at his properties so I now avoid them for anything other than poker and food.
They may know who you are and will try to upgrade you. You guys have grown a lot over the past year. I wouldn't be surprised if someone with some power hasn't seen your videos.
Mr Ruby’s appearance on the “throne” was freaking hilarious. 🎉 Yes….I would like to see the “entry level room” at the Golden Nugget. Love the videos. Be safe in your journeys.
Ruby, my first two trips to Vegas in 1990 and 1991 for my birthday were at the Golden Nugget. We loved it and our vacation package included a free car rental! Crazy eh? We drove up to Reno for two nights. We had a great time. Every time I'm in Vegas, I have to go into the Golden Nugget for a birthday photo. It's a great hotel and casino. Love your video.
I think you got some kind of accessible room, looking at all the railings in the bathroom. I stayed in the Rush tower (pre pandemic) and definitely remember glass shower doors. I remember the bathroom being a lot more elegant looking than what you showed.
Awesome that you pronounced Neuske's correctly. Coming from a town in Wisconsin not many people can correctly pronounce the bacon. Kudos to you. Last time I was on Vegas Fremont Street it was just being built. The only part of it up was the pillars. I did go to many of the casinos there. When we stayed up in Vegas we stayed at the Westward Ho. Many of the places on the strip are no longer there. Stardust, Frontier, and Westward Ho.
Good review! Many years ago when Steve Wynn owned the Nugget the buffet was one of the best in Vegas. We went to have the buffet shortly after the new owners took over and it was terrible. They moved it upstairs and the food quality was poor. If you choose to do another review, could you please do a walkthrough of the buffet to see if it has improved. Really enjoy your reviews… keep up the good work.
The buffet at the Golden Nugget closed permanently during or just before the pandemic shutdowns. It was not a casualty of the pandemic like many other buffets were -- this was a planned permanent closure. The Nugget buffet was a good deal if you were staying at the property because they had BOGO coupons (or $3 off if solo). I think the regular price was around $15-$16 for lunch the final years before it closed. That said, their offerings were limited and not upscale for those looking for a higher end Vegas buffet experience, but a good value for getting a good fill-up
Only downtown buffet nowadays is at MSS as most joints used the pandemic as an excuse to shut them down. GN's buffet had definitely been heading in the wrong direction.
Steve is about high quality food as he is Vegan. The Wynn is consistently rated as having the best food and # of restaurants in all of Vegas, and every place has vegan options. Win win. You should see how young Steve looks given he doesn't eat dead bodies.
The Golden Nugget was our choice place to stay in Las Vegas for many years. That was before the pool upgrade and some of the other changes that happened, so we mostly stayed in the Carson St rooms, which were fine. Golden Nugget always had the best rooms at that time and we liked pretty much everything about it. Haven't stayed there in a looooooong time, so it was fun to watch your video, which was great!
Planning my first trip to Las Vegas in October and I was totally clueless on how to go about it. Your videos have been such a great resource to help plan not just the stay but all the activities and tours I can do in and around vegas. I booked the Golden Nugget for my first stay especially for the pool and I am totally excited and looking forward to it. Thank you so much for putting such an amazing content on your channel!
0:35 we did the same thing staying here! “Which way is our room?” Until we found one side of the table there had a hole cut out for a trash can, which happened to be our side, so from then on we went “to the hole!”
Stayed there for a week on my birthday a few years ago. Got upgraded to a nicer room (yay!). A/C sounded like a person running a circular saw outside the window (boo!) Maintenance came up right away (yay!). They then told me "Oh yeah, those will do that, we can't even move you because it happens all over the hotel" (double boo!). So, if you don't bring your earplugs for the Fremont Street noise, bring them for your room's A/C unit. On the other hand, happy hour at the sushi restaurant is fantastic.
I literally wait for these videos to come out. I just went to Vegas for the first time in October and I literally booked everything I wanted to do based on these videos. You rock Ruby!
Yes I'd like you to go back and book at the cheapest room so we can see. I absolutely love your reviews. This is the number one channel for all things Vegas in my book!
Another great review Ms. Ruby ! I've stayed at the Golden Nugget twice in the past (prior to the big remodel) and the kids absolutely loved the main pool. Now that I'm alone, I would definitely go back ! Thanks Ms. Ruby !!
I am not much of a Fremont fan, but I love Golden Nugget. It's actually the only one I've stayed at on Fremont. (Gotta try Circa next.) They did the same thing with me regarding an early check-in fee going towards an upgrade. My room was very similar to yours. I had also booked the room assignment at check-in, IIRC. I love Landry's restaurants, so I love the dining options. The Chart House there was great. I haven't tried the Vegas Vic & Anthony's, but the one at the Nugget in Atlantic City 90 minutes away from me is phenomenal every time I go. The fish tank in the pool is great, although I found out that you really can't enjoy the view in the water slide. It's too fast (which is also a good thing). Was that Diamonds Are Forever at the beginning?
We always stay at the golden nugget during edc week and we love it! Always stay at the rush tower with newer rooms and the fridge. Our shower had the sliding glass doors though.
This was wheelchair accessible room- that’s why it was so spacious. I could tell by the grab bars at the toilet and the tub. Per code, they have to have certain clearances for wheelchairs to maneuver around the room and bathroom. Typically only about 10-15% of rooms are like that, I’m sure most rooms even in that category aren’t as big. That’s probably the reason for the shower curtain too.
You are definitely right about the walkways being crowded in the casino. All it takes is a couple people to stop in "traffic" looking around, and they cause a huge peoplejam
My brothers and I watched many of your videos, Ruby, and decided to stay at the Golden Nugget. We're glad we did! We wanted a classic Vegas experience on The Strip. We were comfortable here and enjoyed our stay for a few reasons in particular: The Fremont Street Experience was the best thing about our entire Vegas visit, and it was right outside our hotel; also Vic and Anthony's was the best meal we had, include our visit to the bar before taking our table. And other than Saturday when we arrived and the pool was sold out, we enjoyed the small but unique pool experience. A few things to know: your room will not be serviced UNLESS YOU ASK FOR IT TO BE DONE! This was very frustrating. The hotel is dated but our room was clean although noisy at night. The bathtub was cracked in several places but the shower worked fine. And I really enjoyed having a Chick-Fil-A in the lobby for a cheap, quick meal. And after a night on the town, a milkshake was a great guilty pleasure to take up to our room before bed! Thanks again, Ruby, for all your great tips in all your helpful videos. Keep up the terrific work!
Stayed here years ago and loved it. Everything was gold, even in the rooms. It's nothing the same now but is love to stay there again. The pool is pretty awesome
Really fantastic review! I've been to Vegas quite a few times, and I have a soft spot for the Golden Nugget. I've never stayed there, but I've lost lots of money at the casino. It seems like a down to earth option over the strip. Loved the video!
I've stayed at the Nugget several times the last few years. I try & stay in the Carson Tower to stay away from the Fremont noise. The Rush Tower is just too loud. It can be very crowded at night for sure. Vic & Anthonys is excellent. If you're not a pool goer, other places may be better. In February I stayed at the Downtown Grand & really enjoyed it. Ruby, perhaps you could do a review of the Grand. Thanks to you & Mr Ruby for all the great content.
Stayed in the Rush King a few months ago. The big problem we had was not enough electrical outlets. A few were hidden behind a 200 pound end table. Better restaurants aren't open during the week.
I stayed there recently and took that upgrade to the Rush Tower as well. It was an amazing room and property! I had a sliding glass door to the tub/shower though. And it took me forever to find the additional electrical outlets that are built in to the desk console! Great update, Ruby!
I've never been to the Golden Nugget in Vegas, but since I live in NJ, and about 60 miles from Atlantic City, I've been to the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City hundreds of times. It was funny to see the casino has the same carpeting, lights, marble, and most of the same decor as the one in Altantic City. But for some reason, the one in Vegas looks nicer. The casino at the Atlantic City GN is small. The basic rooms in Atlantic City have the same leather (well I really think it's vinyl) couch. The bathrooms in the standard rooms are tiny, But the room decor is basically the same color, furniture, etc. The GN in Altantic CIty draws an older crowd. It's actually one of the smaller properties, if not the smallest. Many people think the decor is very dated, even though it only about 15 years old as the GN was originally the Trump Marina, When Tillman Frittia brought the property, he renovated it top to bottom.
Hey Ruby. I know you include the price on the room and daily resorts fee and tax. I wondering if you would consider letting us know, how much of a security deposit the hotel takes. Weather it’s a 100 dollars a day or 50 dollars a day. I enjoy watching you videos. It has definitely helped me make decisions on where to stay and where to eat in Las Vegas. Thank you. Keep the videos coming.
I always stay in the Carson tower it's not remodeled but it's clean and cheap great location and easy parking and getting checked in and most the time I don't pay resort fees email offers regularly and they are always cleaning and it's a good place to gamble also love to gamble at the D very close you can experience different casinos and not have to walk a mile between them like the strip 😉
I would stay there. The Steak House looked great. I guess it comes down to comfort in the Casino. Thank you for another great review that was complete and straightforward.
I didn't stay there a couple weeks ago. But business took me there most of one day. I spent most of my time up in The Showroom, which I got the chance to see Frank Sinatra's dressing room (which is still the same way it was when he had it built for him by the casino). I did notice that the casino floor was very cramped, which is like many of the casinos on Freemont as well as the strip. I would like to actually stay there sometime when I return, and actually go for a vacation and not a business trip.
Love the video as always! Your content is must-watch. As for the biscuits and gravy, my God, it looks like you could have wrung the salt back into the shaker. There was probably more sodium in there than taco bell nachos
Would love to have a review of the standard room to know what you will be getting. I was tempted to book there a couple times, but was concerned how it would be after hearing how noisy it could get, etc.
I haven't stayed there but played a lot of poker there I agree with you on everything. The drink service in the poker room will almost get you over served if you wanted. It's one of the few places with 5.00 tables anymore but because of that it is so packed.
I stayed there a few years ago for a concert. I enjoyed it. I always park there when I come to Fremont street even if I'm staying over on the strip. Vic and Anthony's is my favorite dinner spot in Las Vegas. Nice to go there for a delicious dinner and then hit Fremont street.
Loved your opening tribute to Bond. I love that chase scene, even with the infamous error with the car. I have always wanted to stay here and I believe you have convinced me for my next visit:)
Room and bathroom big and open, because it is Accessible (Handicap) Hotel room. It is the reason "funny toilet" place. Also it was the reason they provide "upgrade". 🤗
Yay! You went to the restaurant I work for! Fun fact! The original Vic & Anthony’s is stand alone in Houston(where I’m at). There are only three other locations and they’re attached to the Golden Nuggets in Vegas, Lake Charles, and Atlantic City.
Interesting to see your take on it since we stayed there very recently in the same sort of room but higher up a few floors. The room we had was ‘recently’ renovated so it had slightly different style decor although the couch was the same. The full size mirror was in place of where your adjoining room door was. Our fridge was about half the size of yours. Our shower had half glass instead of the curtain. It also had a wall and door for the toilet, so it wasn’t just out in the open like that. The noise even high up was loud enough to feel the rumble of the bass, but it wasn’t clear enough to be distracting, it was actually sort of soothing to tune out other noises. I’ve seen mostly negative things about Carson tower. Maybe your stay will be an update to that? Hopefully they have fixed their issues with it. It really does get crowded on weekends. It’s bad enough where you can’t walk.... BUT even with it being crowded, let it ride and 3 card poker were $5 all weekend. Craps was $15, didn’t play BJ since it’s all 6:5.
We were there over New Years, first time staying on Fremont. We had your exact room in RUSH and we were impressed. We also loved the Claim Jumper restaurant. I too had the biscuits and gravy and they weren’t the best but everything else we had was great! Vic and Anthony’s is our favorite! I liked it way better than Oscar’s! Love and enjoy your reviews!
I would love to see your stay in the cheapest Carson tower room. Also a video of comparing downtown hotels and your recommendations. Love your videos. Thank you
Ruby, I did, and I ran into you and Mr. Ruby in the casino on Monday. I enjoy the GN and always stay there. I have stayed in a couple other properties, and I always come back to the GN. It was an absolute pleasure talking to you and Mr. Ruby that morning. Anyway, if you come back to Wisconsin sometime give me a shout.
omg finally mr ruby shows his face lol, we where in vegas again this feb for 8 days and watching uou had defo been a great help to explore and eat at new places thanks ruby
I went to the Golden Nugget for my first time to Vegas. I played on one machine and won some gas money to take back 😂. I may have to stay here one day. The restaurants are some of the same ones we have in Houston, TX.
I would absolutely appreciate you telling us more about how the beds are.. cause honestly that means A LOT to me.. I have to know if the beds are comfortable cause I am telling you there is nothing worse then a horrendous bed to hurt your back and ruin your trip. Please and thank you Ruby!! Look forward to watching more of your videos!
Their players club gives some hefty discounts for rooms even if you don't gamble at the Golden Nugget. I got $41/night mid week including resort fees. I always end up getting the $30-$40/night upgrade though. It's not that big of a splurge and it felt worth it to me.
@@thaguz100Million yes it was an email offer titled "hot rate special just for you". I've never played slots or table games there. The only players points I ever earned there was from playing poker at their poker room.
They are always sending me emails and I've seen those resort fee waived rates too which is why I was interested in seeing more of the hotel. If they give good value rates yeah I would stay there, and it's good to hear I don't have to necessarily gamble with them since there is no way I'm playing 6/5 Black Jack.
The normal rush tower king has a different bathroom set up. The water closet is separate with a door. The shower has sliding glass doors and the sinks are round and above counter. Very nice bathroom.
I just had the same thing happen to me to the rush room upgrade 10 days ago! just missed ya! I was very happy with the Nugget. My partner also said the same thing about that full length bathroom mirror lol .
The GN can charge more than most places because it's a ritzier property. 4* as opposed to typical 2.5-3* of most downtown places. I've only stayed in Carson Tower, which is good enough, but hear there is a huge difference between there and the Rush Tower.
Loved how you started the video with the Diamonds Are Forever clip, as we literally just saw it (for the 100th time) yesterday,. And we had recently just returned from L$V and I had a pic from us eating at Oscars Steakhouse in the Plaza where in the background you could see the tilting letters of the Golden Gate sign - which were doing the exact same thing back in 1971 in the movie clip. Additionally, when you watch that scene when Sean Connery does a 'u-turn' at the end of Freemont Street, if you freeze the screen, you can read the street sign where the Plaza (darkened in the background) is getting ready to open that summer. That was 51 years ago. (gulp) So many cool, amazing memories just in the first moments of your video today. Thanks for taking the time to do what you do...and doing it so well. I've sent your channel link to literally every friend of mine over the course of time you've been posting videos. :)
ps: and if you will allow me to quip (based on your first day outfit paired with Diamonds Are Forever), "That's A Nice Next To Nothing You're Almost Wearing..." LOL...and remember there's a fitting Jill St. John comeback to that comment.
Thoughts on Golden Nugget?
Would you stay here?
I do like to play poker there, but I'd rather stay at the Plaza since they have better black jack games and video poker pay schedules...which helps to get room and resort fees comped. GN jacks up their prices nearly as high as Derek Stevens does at his properties so I now avoid them for anything other than poker and food.
They may know who you are and will try to upgrade you. You guys have grown a lot over the past year. I wouldn't be surprised if someone with some power hasn't seen your videos.
hey Ruby! We met at the Golden Nugget on Tuesday! It was awesome talking to you about Fremont! You're such a sweet person! Glad to have seen you.
We always stay at the Nugget. My wife loves the pool
@@jtstacey83 very true. This isn't the first time a property upgraded them.
Thanks!
Mr Ruby’s appearance on the “throne” was freaking hilarious. 🎉
Yes….I would like to see the “entry level room” at the Golden Nugget. Love the videos. Be safe in your journeys.
loved seeing Mr.Ruby
Ruby, my first two trips to Vegas in 1990 and 1991 for my birthday were at the Golden Nugget. We loved it and our vacation package included a free car rental! Crazy eh? We drove up to Reno for two nights. We had a great time. Every time I'm in Vegas, I have to go into the Golden Nugget for a birthday photo. It's a great hotel and casino. Love your video.
Yes I think the cheapest rooms are what people are looking for. You should do the cheapest rooms at every hotel
Maybe poor like you
Great idea
I totally lost it with the mirror placement in the bathroom!!! HILARIOUS !!! Thank you Ruby!!!
It’s great when Mr Ruby makes a cameo
I think you got some kind of accessible room, looking at all the railings in the bathroom. I stayed in the Rush tower (pre pandemic) and definitely remember glass shower doors. I remember the bathroom being a lot more elegant looking than what you showed.

HEY! Travel Rudy dropped a new video! My day just got a lot happier!! 😊❤️
Love that the older hotels are still cool. Good. They have such a long history. Golden Nugget. Flamingo. Etc.

I really enjoyed your review of the Golden Nugget!
But yes, please do a review on the cheapest room at the Golden Nugget. I would love to see that.
Yes I'd like you to go back and book at the cheapest room so we can see. I absolutely love your reviews. This is the number one channel for all things Vegas in my book!
If you go too cheap they'll put you in a room that faces Fremont St., you'll never be able to sleep.
Another great review Ms. Ruby ! I've stayed at the Golden Nugget twice in the past (prior to the big remodel) and the kids absolutely loved the main pool. Now that I'm alone, I would definitely go back ! Thanks Ms. Ruby !!
Great review of this casino

i love the clip from "Diamonds are Forever"!! 😃
perfect mirror placement in the bathroom. Sometimes you just have to look good while sitting on the throne
Iconic place stayed there when Steve Wynn owned it and was at opening day when he opened the Mirage.. Best intimate pool in Vegas still.
Stayed there back in November in the Gold Tower, and the room did have a refer and Keurig. Vic & Anthony's was fabulous!
Thank you so much. I always book my rooms when visiting Vegas by your videos. Your through and always accurate.
I stayed there recently and took that upgrade to the Rush Tower as well. It was an amazing room and property! I had a sliding glass door to the tub/shower though. And it took me forever to find the additional electrical outlets that are built in to the desk console! Great update, Ruby!
Last time we stayed in the same type of room, we had a sliding glass door to access the shower/tub as well.

😎Great Review Of The Golden 📀 Nugget & Love Vic & Anthony & Mr. Ruby On The Throne🚽 Epic
Ruby my wife and I love your videos. We got to Vegas twice a year and always hope we see you walking around. Great content. Keep it up.
I always stay in the Carson tower it's not remodeled but it's clean and cheap great location and easy parking and getting checked in and most the time I don't pay resort fees email offers regularly and they are always cleaning and it's a good place to gamble also love to gamble at the D very close you can experience different casinos and not have to walk a mile between them like the strip 😉
I would stay there. The Steak House looked great. I guess it comes down to comfort in the Casino. Thank you for another great review that was complete and straightforward.
I didn't stay there a couple weeks ago. But business took me there most of one day. I spent most of my time up in The Showroom, which I got the chance to see Frank Sinatra's dressing room (which is still the same way it was when he had it built for him by the casino). I did notice that the casino floor was very cramped, which is like many of the casinos on Freemont as well as the strip. I would like to actually stay there sometime when I return, and actually go for a vacation and not a business trip.
I really enjoy your down-to-earth critiques of Vegas. You do a great job and your husband's camera work is very good as well
I literally thought that was an actual meal waitng on the table at the Salt Grass table when you sat down. LOL!
Love the video as always! Your content is must-watch. As for the biscuits and gravy, my God, it looks like you could have wrung the salt back into the shaker. There was probably more sodium in there than taco bell nachos
Would love to have a review of the standard room to know what you will be getting. I was tempted to book there a couple times, but was concerned how it would be after hearing how noisy it could get, etc.
Ruby! This is probably my favorite hotel/resort review you've done thus far. And I've watched them ALL. Big fan! Keep up the great videos.
Average person: So I paid for the early check in your going to put it towards an upgrade right? Hotel: No
I did I early check in and got an upgrade
Right? Lmao
Early is extra $50. Upgrade is extra+ surcharge $20 trick. Ruby booby trap
Good stuff guys☺️
I have attempted the $20 trick 3 times. All three have taken it and no upgrades. 😂😂😂😂
Wonderful vlog. Maybe I will never visit but I don't get tired of watching your videos over and over again
Stayed there a few times, agree no complaints. Claim jumper servings are huge.
I haven't stayed there but played a lot of poker there I agree with you on everything. The drink service in the poker room will almost get you over served if you wanted. It's one of the few places with 5.00 tables anymore but because of that it is so packed.
Cool thanks for the review of the hotel
I love your reviews and we finally got to see Mr. Ruby!
The pool is really nice! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent review as always! Keep up the great work on the Vegas scene and hopefully will see you there.
I stayed there a few years ago for a concert. I enjoyed it. I always park there when I come to Fremont street even if I'm staying over on the strip. Vic and Anthony's is my favorite dinner spot in Las Vegas. Nice to go there for a delicious dinner and then hit Fremont street.
Loved your opening tribute to Bond. I love that chase scene, even with the infamous error with the car. I have always wanted to stay here and I believe you have convinced me for my next visit:)
We stood there this past summer and we absolutely love love loved it!
Another great review Ruby. My wife and I really enjoy your vids.
Awesome review ruby. Very helpful
So happy that you are starting to show us some of the menu at the restaurants. More of this please ❤️. Lovely video.
Good Saturday morning Ruby. Glad to see you're doing well. Thanks so much for your review of the Golden Nugget. 😊👍
Room and bathroom big and open, because it is Accessible (Handicap) Hotel room. It is the reason "funny toilet" place. Also it was the reason they provide "upgrade". 🤗
Good video, Ruby. Have a wonderful weekend.
Good job Ruby, Liked your outfit. Looking good. Keep up the good work.
Yay! You went to the restaurant I work for! Fun fact! The original Vic & Anthony’s is stand alone in Houston(where I’m at). There are only three other locations and they’re attached to the Golden Nuggets in Vegas, Lake Charles, and Atlantic City.
Interesting to see your take on it since we stayed there very recently in the same sort of room but higher up a few floors. The room we had was ‘recently’ renovated so it had slightly different style decor although the couch was the same. The full size mirror was in place of where your adjoining room door was. Our fridge was about half the size of yours. Our shower had half glass instead of the curtain. It also had a wall and door for the toilet, so it wasn’t just out in the open like that.
The noise even high up was loud enough to feel the rumble of the bass, but it wasn’t clear enough to be distracting, it was actually sort of soothing to tune out other noises.
I’ve seen mostly negative things about Carson tower. Maybe your stay will be an update to that? Hopefully they have fixed their issues with it.
It really does get crowded on weekends. It’s bad enough where you can’t walk.... BUT even with it being crowded, let it ride and 3 card poker were $5 all weekend. Craps was $15, didn’t play BJ since it’s all 6:5.
We were there over New Years, first time staying on Fremont. We had your exact room in RUSH and we were impressed. We also loved the Claim Jumper restaurant. I too had the biscuits and gravy and they weren’t the best but everything else we had was great! Vic and Anthony’s is our favorite! I liked it way better than Oscar’s! Love and enjoy your reviews!
I would love to see your stay in the cheapest Carson tower room. Also a video of comparing downtown hotels and your recommendations. Love your videos. Thank you
Love The Golden Nuggets old school ambiance
I'd like to see a video of you guys staying at the Longhorn Hotel Casino. its definately a 2 star place.
The lashes are hilarious.....keep them on, always !
You are the best local reviewer. I was unaware of the gourmet restaurant! Looks good, must try!
I’m surprised by the room - nicer than I expected!
Ruby, I did, and I ran into you and Mr. Ruby in the casino on Monday. I enjoy the GN and always stay there. I have stayed in a couple other properties, and I always come back to the GN. It was an absolute pleasure talking to you and Mr. Ruby that morning. Anyway, if you come back to Wisconsin sometime give me a shout.
Thanks for the tour, always great!
omg finally mr ruby shows his face lol, we where in vegas again this feb for 8 days and watching uou had defo been a great help to explore and eat at new places thanks ruby
I went to the Golden Nugget for my first time to Vegas. I played on one machine and won some gas money to take back 😂. I may have to stay here one day. The restaurants are some of the same ones we have in Houston, TX.
I would absolutely appreciate you telling us more about how the beds are.. cause honestly that means A LOT to me.. I have to know if the beds are comfortable cause I am telling you there is nothing worse then a horrendous bed to hurt your back and ruin your trip. Please and thank you Ruby!! Look forward to watching more of your videos!
HI Ruby, it was great meeting you at the Golden Nugget.
Their players club gives some hefty discounts for rooms even if you don't gamble at the Golden Nugget. I got $41/night mid week including resort fees. I always end up getting the $30-$40/night upgrade though. It's not that big of a splurge and it felt worth it to me.
Did you book through the site and put in your 24k club?
@@thaguz100Million yes it was an email offer titled "hot rate special just for you". I've never played slots or table games there. The only players points I ever earned there was from playing poker at their poker room.
They are always sending me emails and I've seen those resort fee waived rates too which is why I was interested in seeing more of the hotel. If they give good value rates yeah I would stay there, and it's good to hear I don't have to necessarily gamble with them since there is no way I'm playing 6/5 Black Jack.
The normal rush tower king has a different bathroom set up. The water closet is separate with a door. The shower has sliding glass doors and the sinks are round and above counter. Very nice bathroom.
I just had the same thing happen to me to the rush room upgrade 10 days ago! just missed ya! I was very happy with the Nugget. My partner also said the same thing about that full length bathroom mirror lol .
Stayed at The Nugg the last 2 trips and love it.
Perfect timing, this is where I'm staying in April.
The GN can charge more than most places because it's a ritzier property. 4* as opposed to typical 2.5-3* of most downtown places. I've only stayed in Carson Tower, which is good enough, but hear there is a huge difference between there and the Rush Tower.
We have stayed downtown 7 times four of which was the golden nugget. Definitely the best downtown offers.
Love your videos so much fun and insite on rooms and hotels and love your slot play! Thank you both👏👏
great vidio! glad you took the upgrade. never stayed downtown when visiting but now i will really consider it. Thanks Ruby!!
The band at Rush Lounge was Downtown Avenue. Christie and her husband Dejo.
I love your videos they are helpful for different ideas when going to vegas
Love this place ! Great video Ruby 💪🎰 #vegas #casino #lasvegas
Hi Mr & Mrs Ruby Great review & love, love, love your shades😎. TFS from Wisconsin. ✌
Loved how you started the video with the Diamonds Are Forever clip, as we literally just saw it (for the 100th time) yesterday,.
And we had recently just returned from L$V and I had a pic from us eating at Oscars Steakhouse in the Plaza where in the background you could see the tilting letters of the Golden Gate sign - which were doing the exact same thing back in 1971 in the movie clip.
Additionally, when you watch that scene when Sean Connery does a 'u-turn' at the end of Freemont Street, if you freeze the screen, you can read the street sign where the Plaza (darkened in the background) is getting ready to open that summer.
That was 51 years ago. (gulp)
So many cool, amazing memories just in the first moments of your video today. Thanks for taking the time to do what you do...and doing it so well. I've sent your channel link to literally every friend of mine over the course of time you've been posting videos.
:)
ps: and if you will allow me to quip (based on your first day outfit paired with Diamonds Are Forever), "That's A Nice Next To Nothing You're Almost Wearing..."
LOL...and remember there's a fitting Jill St. John comeback to that comment.
Very nice review of the Golden Nugget, Ruby! I appreciate your honest evaluation of the property…😉
