The Golden Nugget was sold in 2003, for $215 million to Poster Financial Group, owned by Timothy Poster and Thomas Breitling. Gaming revenue on Fremont Street had peaked in fiscal year 1993. (later named MGM Mirage).Īlthough the Golden Nugget was profitable, it was not part of the master expansion plan of the corporation which was focused on consolidating a long stretch of the Strip by acquiring Mandalay Resort Group, building City Center, and beginning construction in Macau. In 2000, the Golden Nugget (and all of Mirage Resorts' other properties) was sold to MGM Grand, Inc. The second hotel tower opened in 1984 along with the showroom, and the third tower was opened in 1989. Frank Sinatra periodically headlined at the Golden Nugget. It was the foundation for Wynn's rise to prominence in the casino industry. In 1977, he opened the first hotel tower and the resort earned its first four-diamond rating from Mobil Travel Guide. Steve Wynn bought a stake in the Nugget, which he increased so that, in 1973, he became the majority shareholder, and the youngest casino owner in Las Vegas. Jackie Gaughan at one time owned a stake in the hotel as part of his many downtown properties.
And gold.The Golden Nugget was originally built in 1946, making it one of the oldest casinos in Las Vegas. You'd better like brown and gold if you are staying in this suite.
The furnishings, carpets, drapes, and other adornments are primarily gold. The right room contains the living room with sectional sofa, dining set, storage, wetbar with fridge, and a second bathroom with shower. The left room contains the bedroom, a powder room and closet, and a full bathroom with jetted tub.
In fact, it sports the both of the original doors, side by side, perfect for Benny Hill style hallway antics. The suite is at the end of the hall, and consists of two normal sized hotel rooms joined together. So I think it was a quick substitution - I checked in very late on a Saturday night, and I think I got a bit more suite for my money than I booked - but not on one of the club floors. This two-room suite was on the third floor of the Gold tower.
And they are typically in the top couple of floors of the Gold, Spa, and Rush towers. I'm not sure that the suite I got was really a club suite, but it was an interesting and comfortable place to stay, nonetheless.Ĭlub-level accomodations at the Nugget include additional goodies such as no resort fee, wifi included, water and coffee included, spa access, and a few other things. The Golden Nugget Las Vegas offered 50% off a suite upgrade, so I took it.
