Golden Nugget is the only Fremont property I have ever stayed at, and I loved it. I love all those Landry's restaurants. I think they did the same thing with me when I checked in early (paying the fee, but getting a nicer room). The pool is great. The aquatic tank is very cool. The slide is a great idea, but you really can't see anything as you go through. I actually enjoy the decor, but your description is pretty accurate, haha.

[@davidbox146]

Thank you Jordan for a superb video! Your presentation brought back many memories. I first stayed at the Golden Nugget when Steve Wynn was with Frank Sinatra in a TV commercial advertising the "new" Golden Nugget. I played Baccarat for the first time at this property and got a kick out of the fact they had $20 chips versus $25 chips in order to make the winning Banker hand 5% commission an even $1 per $20 bet. The table minimum was only $20. Thank you for all the hard work you put in on your presentations!

[@plainjane-rb8ky]

Last year, I paid $140 at Hilton, which is the cheapest one of the three hotels, in Resort World. A small, compact room like yours but new and very nice. I played roulette and won $1,500 which paid for the week-long stay there!

I stayed in Downtown Grand for a work trip about a week before you were there! Fremont was crazy at all times during the night. Briefly walked into Golden Nugget, wasn't really impressed by it. I'm surprised you could sleep! That concert you showed in this video was so loud every night, not even ear plugs could save me....

Cadillac has a really good happy hour during the week. Another hack we’ve had for the Nugget to save money, is sometimes Costco has Landry’s gift cards discounted. Can use them anywhere in the resort and even pay your hotel bill with them.

[@ShowMeVegas]

That’s a great hack! Thanks for watching!

[@anthonylagano]

Hey Mr Jordan ! The jury’s still out for me on Freemont Street. I like some things about it but probably will never stay there . The upscale large resorts on the strip are my preference. I will say that last year I ventured over to Freemont and went to the mob museum speak easy which was cool . Then had 3 Long Island iced teas at Whiskey 🥃 Liquor Up rotating bar ….the nights a complete blur after that but my friends tell me I had a great time lol. Great review as always sir ! 😎😎😎

[@jeffcraps1809]

Cadillac is an off shoot of the Cadillac Bar in Houston, which Tillman Frittita bought. The Original was in Nuevo Laredo. I was the general manager in Houston in 1985 & 1986.

[@ShowMeVegas]

Fertitta owns Landry’s, so that makes sense. I’m not sure if his proposed strip casino/hotel will be part of the Landry’s family as well, but it would be cool if it was. Thanks for watching!

[@annhenriques3520]

I am not a fan of Downtown Las Vegas, and have stayed there once in the last decade: that one stay was only because I won a trip (airfare/hotel stay/meals/transportation at the California) via my local newspaper’s football pick ‘em contest. 😁 The only three hotels downtown I would consider for a short stay are the Cal, the Plaza and Circa, primarily because they are the furthest removed from the Fremont Street environment (not interested in the Downtown Grand). Just seeing how many bars were located within Golden Nugget casino was a deterrent. Multiple bars within, all the outside bars on Fremont Street, the loud music and the smell of cigarettes and marijuana are all unappealing. A few drinks can be enjoyable, but the obnoxious drunkenness prevalent on Fremont Street are awful to see - and yet so many parents love to bring their young children there. It’s depressing. It’s a cheap vacation if you don’t gamble much, but why would you stay there if not gambling?

Fremont Street is not as bad as people think it is. I went there this summer July 2024 and August 2024 I even believe it or not drove there alone to Las Vegas from California. You just gotta be aware of your surroundings. I went to visit a person that I thought was my significant other but just have a good time there’s lots to do in Fremont and there’s decent hotels if you’re not trying to spend too much money on the trip then I would recommend the plaza hotel nugget as well and I’ve heard the D is also very nice so don’t knock it until you try it

[@jgwin5150]

Great video. It will be interesting to see what Tilman does with his new hotel. When he bought Golden Nugget, the theme was pretty set. He just incorporated his restaurant line. He doesn't really have a hotel presence so I don't think he had much of a choice. I've heard he is calling his strip hotel The Post Oak, that's his hotel here in HTX, but I don't think it makes sense outside of here. I guess he could build that brand and then convert the Nuggets over. I don't know, but I agree that the Golden Nugget theming is kind of tired. The location he got on the strip could easily have a 2 floor casino to get more space and would be just slightly smaller than Cosmo.

[@andthe2become1flesh93]

Ooof! Hat on a bed is bad luck. 😬 Love your shirt and appreciate the look inside this casino. I agree that the decor is a bit tacky in places. 😊

I have a soft spot for GN, brings a bit of Rat Pack Vegas nostalgia even though it's not on the strip; and their spa suite is one of my favorite rooms in Vegas.
