    As a Vegas native, this place holds a spot in my heart. Even with the renovations in the past years it's still offers that classic "old school" Vegas vibe, but with a slightly updated cleanliness. Check-in here is almost completely automated, which I don't love, but they do have staff nearby to help with any issues. I stayed on the 16th floor of the Rush Tower;with a Strip and pool view. This was a King room and it was huge! Large king-sized bed, couch, desk area, mini-fridge, and a large bathroom. Very quiet with literally zero outside noise coming through the window. My favorite part of the Golden Nugget is their shark tank pool, but sadly the tank has a crack, so most of the sharks and fish have been removed, but the pool is still open. Their pool is small and only gets sun from about 10am until 3pm because of their new tower. On Fridays Tons of amazing food options are offered here. Everything from fine dining to fast food; the Chart House (seafood), Red (sushi), Cadillac (mexican), The Grille (24-hour diner food), and a Chick-fil-A that opened until 2am Mon - Fri. Definitely book a table at Vic & Anthony's, arguably one of Vegas' best steakhouses. Along with quick access to Fremont street and the local downtown scene, the Golden Nugget is a must stay if you've never been before.

    I used to love the golden nugget. It was a clean, beautiful place that felt welcoming. I bragged about this place and even talked my friend into staying there even though it was a bit more money. That was, unfortunately not my experience this time. The first disappointment was paying for our room. Now, you have to pay more up front just to choose your bed size or risk it for whatever they give you, like a cheap airline trying to nickel and dime you. My friend and I arrived to check in, we opted to "upgrade" to secure two beds so we really did not get "stuck" in a king bed to share. We got to the room and it looked aged and worn down (but I know it's an old hotel). But it really was not so clean. No toilet paper on the holder and only one roll on the shelf outside of the bathroom door. Hmmmm! The beds were not sharp and crisp to give the appearance of a freshly made bed. The shower was disgusting and I would never step foot in it. They were covered in mold with the paint peeling off the tub floor... So we had to walk all the way back to the front desk to change rooms. They have also started a self check in and check out kiosk system like Walmart. So to talk to a real person takes more time now. We got into our new room, which looked really nice the shower looked clean. But the shower doors were off track... we just dealt with leaving the doors open while showering. We stayed 3 nights four days. We had 4 regular pods for the Keurig machine. The friend with me drinks decaf, so we call down and ask for some decaf pods only to be informed it would cost us $25. We have 2 people for 4 mornings and we only have 4 coffees. They did give us 4 waters per day, which I really loved and appreciated but sorry, no coffee for one person and too bad if your body can't handle caffeine. I guess I should be grateful they gave us any coffee and didn't force me to pay $10 a cup at Starbucks, but come on... $8.25 for a coffee pod is outrageous. I will definitely try a different hotel on my next visit to Vegas downtown.

    First time staying in the Golden Nugget Carson Tower. The tower is located furthest from the casino. It's the oldest tower of the three towers. Our room on the 18th floor was adequate. The decor is a bit dated but the brown color hues are comforting. The bathroom has a tub if you want to soak. There is no coffee maker, refrigerator or work table unless you use the vanity desk. The room is about 400 square feet so it feels spacious particularly with a single bed. The room is quiet since it's furthest from the noise on Fremont Street.

    Update time! In 2026 The Golden Nugget remains a timeless gem. The upgrades made here were done in a way that preserved the history while adding a bit of modern elegance. Some things in this hotel simply remained unchanged because the condition of it has been maintained so well that it didn't need to be replaced. Here's the 2026 experience in a nutshell CHECK IN: KIOSKS! So the process is great if you are familiar with it. Check in on your own terms without lengthy interactions or waits. Decide on upgrades, enter your car plate # so the plate recognition system can apply free parking at check out. then it gives you your key and & go! If you ARENT familiar there's someone stationed there to assist. PARKING: Free for hotel guests! You drive in and it knows who you are ( if you've used Metropolis before) be sure you explicitly add your hotel stay/car info in that parking platform to ensure it recognizes you as a guest. Easy, no hassle. ROOMS: Very familiar, comfortable and CLEAN! They didn't need to change much here because everything was so well maintained. Beds are great. 4 free waters in the rooms and free Keurig. Minimal noise. POOL: Its a classic, their pool is always worth visiting. Packed, waterfalls on, and pure fun. Protip: they have a "grille" for quick food and the breakfast sandwich is very tasty. Overall a SOLID, pristine place. Always a pleasure to stay here.

    We had a blast at the Golden Nugget. We booked a 2 story suite in July 2025. It was perfect! It was such a great room that I wish we could've have spent more time in the room. We didn't get access until 400pm and check out was 1100am so it was a quick one trip before heading to the strip. We had 3 people in the room with one sleeping on the couch. We also had a Cabana at the adult pool upstairs and that was perfect for escaping the sun when needed. Drinks are just as expensive as they are on the strip. $20 a cocktail throughout the hotel and pool. They did have $10 and $15 tables which was nice for a casual gambler. Golden Nugget is always chill and fun!! Room was very clean. We stayed in the Spa Tower so it was very quiet since our room faced the pool and not the street.

    This is an amazing property in Downtown Las Vegas. Sits at apex of Fremont Street Experience. The lights, music and nonstop action are a sight to see! Hotel is clean and staff is exceptional. I loved that I was able to check in via a kiosk in the lobby. It even printed my room keys. You can get a max of four keys which will come in handy as I am always losing or desensitizing them! They have a Box Office for shows, tickets and events which is nice to have onsite. There's a beautiful wedding chapel and each room has a mini refrigerator. There's ice machines on every floor...very convenient! Also can get same-day dry cleaning and laundry services for a fee. There's a pool with a super large aquarium, an ice bar and plenty of restaurants and shops. The hotel has three towers with a variety of room types, including quiet rooms. Since Fremont Experience is noisy, they even provide ear plugs! Note room service is available starting Friday. My King guest room is newly renovated and features a sitting area, big screen TV, and a Keurig coffee/tea machine. Decor is very subtle with warm earth tones throughout the rooms and hotel. Casino on the main floor with a variety of slots, table games and tournament poker. Reasonable prices, with early check in for a nominal fee and room upgrade options. My first time here but definitely not my last!

    The iconic vision of Fremont Street. When we could see it from the taxi, we knew we'd arrived to our night out. Visit Golden Nugget to find the slot machines you remember from years past and cheaper tables for cards.

    The hotel itself isn't too bad. A little old but nothing too bad. The bad part is parking hands down... we're supposed to be able to park for free if we stay there. But the weekend evenings are so packed you may even have to find a paid parking elsewhere even if you stay there as a guest. Which I don't think is fair at all.

    Where to start. We booked a pkg deal, and was excited.. Reality set in pretty fast. No personal service, OTHER THAN RODNEY, WHO BROUGHT OUR BAGS UP AND WAS SUPER NICE. *Check in was on a machine. No human. *posted signs all-out vending machines on floors, absolutely no machines * posted about airport shuttle out from of hotel. No shuttle. * called front desk to see about booking a couple of events with the desk. Was told we would have to come down to do that... went down, no one downstairs does that job any longer. ????. *Room was like a motel 6, but in those cheap rooms you get a refrigerator... here if you want one. Its $200.00 more . *bathroom has paper feeling off the walls, the tub Faucet was pulling out of the wall. * pillows are horrible, asked for a couple more to make them work. 6 hours later got them. * signs on wall say vending machines with arrows, NO VENDING MACHINE ANYWHERE ON FLOOR * pool closes at 7p.m. * hot tub not working the entire 8 days we were here. * the timeshare people set up by elevators, harassing each person each time you walked by. *maid service, when they freshen up your room, no clean sheets, we stayed 8 days. Only 1 time in 8 days *towels smelled like they use bbq sauce for softener. *tv channels very limited, very * Chick-fil-A store by elevators, wanted something hot to eat that was fast, NOT HOT, NOT GOOD, not the service that they normally have. * we have yet to meet a hotel employee that has smiled or been helpful. Except Rodney. * if you put items in drawers. They wont stay closed. * no coffee pot. * tub has rust all over it. * so loud, we could hear the dog barking 4 rooms away * 4th of july, at the h20 sideways pool, worst drinks ever, no booze, cheap mixers. Had the tito lemonade, bbblllaaahhh Margaritas, see through. No taste other than cheap mixers. Cosmopolitan, very pink loaded with cranberry and little booze. Husband reordered one and was the right color and could taste the booze. Bartender for years I would never send those drinks out. Lay was a great waitress however.pool downstairs so cloudy. * hot tub/ jacuzzi not working 4 days * upstairs djay was into the party and a lot of fun. * live music Friday night was awful, I dont think they were even playing the same song.

    Room we "booked"

    If I could leave ZERO stars I would. Soon as I checked out ran to yelp. Worst hotel on Fremont street. Checked in room wasn't even the room we booked. fridge wasn't working, bathtub DIRTY we literally seen hair in the tub. Why show options on what rooms you want if you don't even and up getting it. Also CASYEY THE BELL MEN RUDE. when I went up to the front desk asking for a bell men he gave me the rudest look all because we needed help with our luggage . Also was very unprofessional and seemed like he couldn't wait till our car pulled up. Again if I could get my money back I WOULD or book with somewhere else. NEVER COMIMG BACK AND YOU SHOULDNT BOOK HERE.

    The Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas is very old, as one of the city's first casinos and a historic landmark on Fremont Street, I think you shouldn't miss this iconic establishment if you ever visiting this area. I've been here a few times, always like its classic Old Vegas atmosphere, although really not a big fan of its bad air and smoke smell inside the casino.

    Clean, convenient and reasonably priced. No charge for parking if you're a guest. Was having trouble with the checkin kiosk but thank you Amanda from LA for taking me into the VIP lounge for my checkin. She was so kind and patient with me. Asked about my family and the recent rains in SoCal. Put me in a wonderful room, king-size bed, very quiet. Room feels newly remodeled with impressive decor.

    Clearly, not wipe down at all this was our first room that they try to give us
    Paola G.

    Extremely disappointed with this hotel stay. We stayed for 4 nights, and not once were the sheets changed or the bathroom properly cleaned. The room was visibly dirty from the beginning -- dust everywhere, grime under the sink, and surfaces that clearly hadn't been cleaned in a long time. We called housekeeping THREE different times asking for the room to be cleaned, but nothing was done. One day they came in only to drop off towels and leave a roll of toilet paper, then left without vacuuming, making the bed, changing sheets, or cleaning the bathroom. A supervisor even came up to inspect the room herself and admitted that housekeeping hadn't vacuumed or made the bed. To make things worse, housekeeping randomly showed up one night at 11 PM, which was completely inappropriate and disruptive. lack of cleanliness and customer service was unacceptable. I would not stay here again and would not recommend this hotel to anyone expecting basic cleanliness or decent service. It's a shame because the staff is really nice and welcoming. We ate at the bar in front of the aquarium and spend some time at the pool and staff was really nice and had a good vibe.

    Ask the Community - Golden Nugget

    Can I ask the concierge to plan a trip to another golden nugget property?

    I believe the only other Golden Nugget property not crazy far from Vegas is in Laughlin, NV. Not sure concierge "plans" trips for hotel guests? Sorry.

    When they will let is upstairs to our rooms?

    Usually by 3:00 PM sometimes earlier if they are cleaned

    Does anyone know how much of a hold for incidentals there is for there suites?

    Usually between 50$ and 100$. I would prepare for 100$.

    Charge for parking?

    No they do not if you are staying at the hotel.

    Does gold tower rooms have a fridge?

    Yes it does..

    Is it noisy?

    It depends on your room and what's happening the night you're staying. There have been nights that are fine and nights that are so loud the windows were shaking and we couldn't sleep at all in the same room.

    Is the pool open? Is it heated?

    Yes

    The one bedroom suites from pics have leather sofas. Do these happen to be sofa beds?

    Nope

    Is the fitness room open?

    Yes

    Is the sushi restaurant operating?

    Do the TV's in room have a usb connection in back? This could be used for charging devices or streaming a video/show from your smaller device to the tv screen.

    Some do some don't. It's really depending on what room you get and then the tv and how old it is. The WiFi is really good and we streamed Netflix on my iPad but didn't try the tv.

    I have read several reviews saying there are no outlets in the rooms. Is this true?

    I am in a room in the Rush Tower at this moment and two outlets in the living area are not convenient to charging your phone unless you like putting stuff on the floor or balancing on the back of a couch. The outlet by the bed is being used by the… 

    How much is parking for visitors, the website says guests park for free?

    It's free !!! And safe !! Place is great

    How big is the tub in the rush tower compared to the carson tower is it worth the upgrade? I really want to take a long bubble bath after the drive

    I was in the gold tower. Bath was beautiful. Room outstanding. Bed ! Was sooo comfy. But the pool and hot tub service were great. The tub was standard size in our room. Definitely you can take a bubble bath in it ! But it's not huge . It was… 

    I stayed at the Golden Nugget about 2 years ago and had a view of a festival I attended and instead of watching from the crowd I just watched from my room, anyone know which tower that would be? I called but the agent didn't give me a sure answer

    It depends on where the festival is located.

    Are lounge chairs free in the pool area?

    Yes. Chairs are .... Cabana for a charge

    Is there a way to check in online and bypass the front desk?

    No, you must check in at the front desk.

    Can I bring my dog? Is the Golden Nugget pet friendly?

    Aloha Brian,I'm not sure but I did see a number of dogs walking in the lobby and casino with leashes on. Of course they all had service dog vest on but as usual none of them acted like a real trained service dog. I would recommend calling front desk… 

    Hello, what is the difference between the rush tower and the gold tower? Also are they both newer? Thxs

    The Gold Club rooms can be described as being the model for the Rush Tower rooms as the room designs are very similar. I've not stayed in the Gold Club rooms but would venture to guess that they are the same size as the regular Gold Tower rooms… 

    We are considering booking the "One bedroom Spa Suite Pool View" suite for a long-time employee of ours as a thank-you bonus trip. Can 3 adults stay in this suite comfortably? Is the couch a pull-out couch?

    The couches do not pull out, but they are plenty big and comfy enough to sleep on. I also noticed one of the rooms had a rollaway bed, so that is also an option.

    The Strip

    I have heard so many good things about the Cosmo and finally got to stay here!…read more We were able to get a fountain view room and it's definitely worth the upgrade if you make the swing for it. Service was fairly friendly and the room was nice. The property has a lot of amenities for both fine dining and more affordable options with the infamous Block 16 for food area. I will say it's a good place to stay if you want to be in all the action of the strip and it also a chique lively atmosphere. But if want a more laid back experience you may want to stay more on the north/south end of the strip or something like Vdara.

    Unsafe balconies beware…read more Per security direct quote: "this happens at least once every three months". My experience at this hotel was extremely concerning because of a serious safety issue with the balcony door. I stepped onto the balcony, and when the door closed behind me, it locked, leaving me trapped outside. It was approximately 110°F. Fortunately, I had my phone with me and was able to call for help. Had I not had my phone, this could have become a dangerous situation very quickly. When I reported the issue to the manager, rather than showing concern, she was condescending and made me feel as though I had somehow caused the problem. I specifically told her that I did not believe another guest should be placed in that room until the balcony door was repaired because it was unsafe. I had paid extra for a room with a balcony, yet I could not safely use it for the remainder of my stay. Because I was traveling for work and had a very demanding schedule, changing rooms at the last minute was also extremely difficult. I just chose not to use the balcony anymorez What bothered me even more was being told that if I filed a formal safety report, they would not be able to refund the additional amount I had paid for the balcony. That placed me in an unacceptable ethical position: either report a legitimate safety hazard so another guest would not be placed at risk, or remain silent in order to receive a refund. Of course, I chose to report the safety issue. After considerable discussion, I was eventually refunded approximately $130 related to the balcony charge. However, the way the situation was handled--particularly the manager's dismissive and condescending attitude--was unacceptable. I would not stay at this hotel again. Even if my work required travel to the same area, I would choose another property.

Staff on check in are very helpful, seemed to be understaffed. I felt like there is an excessive need for key card use. At checkpoint in lobby, when you get off elevator. It's really excessive. Pricing on food and drinks were in my opinion way overpriced in comparison to other areas of Vegas. Overall, I loved the stay. Some of the staff could work on their customer service interactions. Pricing needs to be checked in order for people to continue traveling.

We were in Las Vegas for a concert at the Sphere, and one of the main reasons we chose to stay here was the convenience. Being able to walk through the resort and get around without relying on Ubers was a huge plus, especially on a busy concert night. Check-in was smooth, the staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming, and our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We were also upgraded, which was a very nice surprise. The highlight had to be the view of the Sphere from our room -- absolutely perfect for the concert we were attending. The Venetian is an experience in itself. The resort is massive, beautifully designed, and there's plenty to explore without even having to leave the property. For us, the ability to walk around, grab something to eat or drink, explore the resort, and head to the Sphere without worrying about transportation made the stay that much more enjoyable. We typically stay at MGM properties when we're in Vegas, so trying The Venetian was a change of pace for us. Based on this first experience, I'm glad we gave it a shot. Friendly staff, clean rooms, unexpected upgrade, an incredible Sphere view, and an extremely convenient location for a concert. We'll definitely be back. The Venetian has officially earned another Vegas stay from us.

    I went to M for a concert and was greatly disappointed in the whole experience…read more I understand that M is not entirely responsible for every aspect of the concert experience but there are a few things worth mentioning. I'll start with the parking and the way traffic was directed. For this specific concert it was very confusing, and the lack of signage did not help. Getting out of the parking garage was the most difficult and it took about 30 minutes. Also, when the concert was announced online, there was no mention that it would be held at the pool. So this concert was held by the pool in 107° weather and it was not fun at all. I could be wrong about this, but the band only played 1 hour 20 minutes and I think it's because it was so darn hot. And I was not happy about this at all. If I was overheating being in the audience, I can't even imagine how much hotter it was up on stage with the lights, smoke, leather pants... lol. So in the future, if there is a concert held at the M I would make sure to research and make sure that it's not at the pool in summer. So basically, I paid $175 per ticket to go see a band at the pool totally not worth it especially since they only played less than two hours. For those who wanna know I saw Stone Temple Pilots and unfortunately it was not worth my time or money. After this experience, not only will I probably never go to the M resort to see a concert, but I also will never again go and see Stone Temple Pilots. If you're gonna pay almost $200 per ticket and spend three hours of your time preparing and driving there you gotta at least give me two hours of your time for it to be worth what you're charging. The other thing I want to mention is the security guards and customer service staff weren't very efficient in crowd control. People were just gathering right in front of us who paid $175 for their tickets and it took about 30 minutes to get all these clowns out of the way so the rest of us could enjoy the concert. In my personal opinion this might've been one of the worst concerts I've ever been to and it really left a bad taste in my mouth concerning STP. Sadly I believe STP died the day the original front man died. RIP Scott Weiland. You are greatly missed.

    We're BILT members. My husband vaguely remembered we had VIP access. I asked at the concierge and…read morethey assured me we did not have it. But we looked it up later and we did. So it's kinda weird the concierge is not completely knowledgeable, but maybe it's unfair for me to expect them to know my own details. It's not like there are other BILT members out there or anything. I think we missed out on some "freebies" and feeling VIP or whatever. Regardless, Cherry, who checked us in, did a very good job at recommending places and explaining everything for our stay with our perks; and there was a lot of explaining. When I looked back, there was a line of 20 people. I watched some Youtube reviews on Fontainebleu and there was a perfume smell...to help mask the cigarette smell. The roses were real, which was nice. Some parts of the hotel were already falling apart/broken. I was hoping for the smell of fresh air...which is why I stayed in a Las Vegas casino. I liked the hallway to our room...it got more narrow towards the end. The room itself was O.K. One room had a tray for your keys and the other didn't. The view from one room was of a dirt patch. The upgraded room had the view of the A/C units. Can they at least decorate the roof top with artwork or something? My favorite part of the hotel room was the bathtub. I basically took multiple baths a day. I went to MGM and got scented bubble bath salts. There are a lot of restaurants that are mostly $$$-$$$$. Miami Slice was good - we kept our leftovers in the fridge and it actually tasted good cold. Chez Bon Bon was my go-to place for interesting crafted coffees (lots of lavender choices for a lavender-lover) and a box of pastries with nice presentation for gifts. The workers were also very friendly. La Cote was also pretty good - I loved the watermelon salad and our server, Joey, gave lots of good suggestions and made interesting conversation. The pools at Fontainebleu were rated highly by Youtubers. I can't say they are my favorite. We went at the end of August and the heat was so intense. I think the glass windows of the hotel reflect back down onto the pool area. The pools aren't deep, which I guess is good for kids, but this isn't really the family-oriented hotel. So on Saturday afternoon, the pool area was full of people standing in the pool with the water at waist level. I guess this is what people like to do at pools - stand in it. Who swims these days? The pool is so shallow and they have 4 life guards sitting there. Watching you stand. The workers at the hotel were all mostly friendly when you approach them. But a lot of the staff kind of just do their own thing. It's been a while since I've been to Vegas, but it's kind of a stark contrast after mostly going to normal hotels for the last few decades. Getting transport to Fontainebleu was convenient. We were able to get a Zuke's. We also walked to the Bellagio from Fontainebleu at midnight when it was cooler. FYI Zuke's stops around 11-12am. Also right across the street is Tacos El Gordo which was featured on a Netflix Taco documentary. It had super long lines around 10pm. The fresh tortillas were very good and it was chaotic, but a good experience. There's also another one by the airport that might be less busy. I don't think my stay at Fontainebleu was so amazing. I think the pools at Ceasar's was better. MGM looked like more fun (and family-friendly) and less ritzy. This hotel looked like it's catering more to the clubbing age group, which I'm not in. However, Fontainebleu did seem to have less smoke smell than MGM or Ceasar's. If you have a lot of money to splurge and spending money makes you feel good, this is the place to go. If you're more of a deal-hunter who likes to get a good bang-for-your-buck, then maybe come if you have some offers or coupons from third parties.

Construction began in 2007, but faced setbacks including the Great Recession and later the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowing its history, I was eager to experience a guest stay. Booking & Check-in:: I booked my room through a travel aggregation website. Upon arrival, the front desk quickly found my reservation. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The clerk was both friendly and helpful. The main lobby is cavernous, with decor that's simple yet elegant. It creates an impression. Room Quality:: The Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in 2023; but the room's furniture was well-kept, and free from excessive wear that might hint at heavy use. The carpet looked fresh, with no stains or tears in sight. Regarding the bed, the sheets were crisp and bright white. The mattress, pillows and duvet were comfortable. Bathrooms often show the most wear and tear, but this one was pristine. It was spacious. The layout was well-arranged. The towels looked like new, with a heavy pile and a crisp, bright white color. Sometimes when I travel, I like a room that's comfortable, but not so luxurious it makes me want to stay in all day. Other times, I want a inviting space to relax in, and the rooms here fit that bill perfectly. I found the décor, color palette, and furnishings appealing. I also think many hotel rooms lack sufficient lighting, but here there's plenty of it, along with the option to adjust it to your liking. Common Space:: Although I didn't use them myself, I was surprised to learn while walking the grounds that there are seven swimming pools on the premises. I did, however, enjoy some of the gaming options on site, as well as several of the restaurants.

    So many things can be said about this property. For me, it's "crowded excellence"…read more There is a lot to love about this place. The beds are some of the best I think I have ever been in. The pillows are soft, the mattress feels like a cloud and the products are really nice and plush. It's no wonder so many people want to stay here. Service overall was good. Our front desk agent Gerard was a highlight. Really friendly and helpful in understanding our benefits we got with our room. Also gave us some recommendations for place to go and try as well. However, we had issues in service among other places in the property, notably the bell desk. We did have about a 2 hour delay before our room was ready so we dropped our stuff with the bell desk. The setup is weird, there is an inside person and people outside. It seems like everything goes through the outside people, we could only drop our stuff with them and pick our stuff up at checkout, we have no idea what the inside guy did except to direct us outside. Also, by the time our room was ready, we couldn't even pick up the stuff at the bell desk, only delivered to the room. It said it would take 15 minutes but we had to call and because it was "so busy" we had to wait almost an hour for it. The massive sprawling casino has a lot of games to play and a lot of different venues for everyone. Minimums are high for table games (as expected) but there is still something for everyone to play. Cocktail service was slow at times, but Sandra was friendly and quick as well as made some delicious cocktails. Overall, it really is a nice property with some great stuff. But it does feel like it doesn't know how to properly control crowds and leaving you like you were truly at a 5 star resort.

    Irs gorgeous here! I like this better than bellagio as its not so hectic and feels more laid back…read more It was easy using valet here and simple to catch a taxi. I like how this hotel is easy to navigate and they have a great buffet!

There's a separate check-in area for The Reserve which I really liked. It was not crowded at all. Upon checkin, they gave me a coconut macaroon which was amazing! I did like that special touch. There are separate elevators going to the Reserve Rooms. However, it is still shared with some of the upper floors from Park MGM. I know that other hotels on the strip have separate elevators exclusively for separate parts of the hotel. I really enjoyed my Atelier room. It was a little bit larger than the standard room. The distinguishing factor about this room is really the bathtub in the room. However, the bathtub itself seems to be a liability for the hotel. I have to say that someone can easily slip and fall in the bathtub. Use extreme caution when using the bathtub. I loved the European french decor. The toilet was a little far away from the bed, but I suppose that is good if you are traveling with somone so when they went to the restroom, it would be less noticable (more privacy, less noise). Since they are hardwood floors, I can hear chairs being moved around from the rooms above me during my stay. I was a little bit irked. Other than that, my stay was quite enjoyable at The Reserve.

The lobby where we checked in was super dark and moody. There was a lot of seating and nice decor. It was chilly in there which felt like a nice escape from the Vegas heat. It was relatively quick for us to get checked in and receive our keys. This dark and dramatic theme is carried throughout the hotel and to the guest room areas too. We were put in Rm 30-24, which we converted into an adjoining room with Suite 30-22. Our room felt small to me. The bed takes up the majority of the room with little walking space. There is a desk, flat screen TV, sofa, and small wardrobe. The closet is pretty spacious and has some robes, slippers, and a steamer. The sofa was very stiff and honestly looked a bit dingy. There were crumbs on the seat and the pillows were incredibly old and limp. I was hesitant to sit on it! The closet felt disproportionately large for the room. I would have preferred a smaller closet to have more space in the room itself. The rooms and hallways are all so dark. There is no overhead lighting, only tiny lamps throughout the room. I am personally not a fan of this as it made the room feel even smaller and claustrophobic. I understand they are trying to make it feel ambient and moody, but the way it was presented felt more like sleeping in a cave. Inside the closet was the brightest area of the hotel! If you choose to have a conjoined room, it is impractical to keep the doors open. When the adjoining doors are open, it is impossible to use the doors facing the hallway. Everything was cramped and the doors were constantly banging against each other. The bathroom was nice with a spacious shower. The water pressure was slightly better than average, but not super strong. They provided the usual amenities: shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, shower gel, cotton swabs + cotton pads, makeup remover wipes, and a shower cap. I must say, the shampoo and conditioner were spectacular. My hair felt super soft and had no frizz when it dried. It smelled very nice too. The rest of the hotel was just okay. There is not much to do besides lay at the pool and gamble. It is pretty quiet and laid-back. That being said, the casino was pretty small. I did like that it was non-smoking though so it was not suffocating to walk through it. I enjoyed the pool area. Despite it being a hot summer day, there was plenty of seating and lounge chairs available. The music the DJ was playing was really good and the pool was super chilly. This is definitely not my first choice for a Vegas hotel but I could stay here again.

However, for those of us who come to Vegas often, staying at those hotels often means higher prices and headaches with navigating around the busy traffic. Having stayed at most of the larger hotels (The Luxor, The Bellagio, Encore at Wynn, Park MGM etc) I've had my fill of the dazzling lights and boisterous crowds. I do recommend you try these hotels at least a few times to truly soak in the bustle of Las Vegas night life. For me, I prefer to stay adjacent to, but not within, The Strip. This way, I can have some comfort in a quieter setting and can call an uber at any moment to meet friends along The Strip. This was the reason I chose Nirvana Hotel. Situated right next to The Luxor and The Mandalay Bay, it is both affordable and close to the attractions I come to Vegas for. The exterior is a bit off-putting at first. You aren't greeted with the pristine fountained welcome that you expect from Vegas--the wonderful precession of marble floors, the lush green plants, the ornate chandeliers. The main check-in station is inside the souvenir shop which resembles that of a run down gas station. Service is quick and the check-in process is painless. Their doors all use numbers so you don't have to worry about misplacing your card. Just don't get so drunk you forget! The room itself is very humble: queen bed, LG tv, two night stands, a small fridge, and a walk-in shower. Clean, organized, and arranged professionally. I will definitely stay here again. Connie was at the reception and welcomed me warmly. Parking is free. That's right. FREE. For your entire duration of stay.

Free coffee up in the front office with package cookies They have a mini fridge in the room. I was gone early in the morning and was back late The minus was street noise from construction and I was there on trash day so the trash truck backing up at 5:50 Am was an early morning wake up call ( I needed to be up at that time anyways) No house keeping while for my two day stay I would be happy to stay here again

It seems as though their renovations have been completed. If you stayed here when it was the Mandarin Oriental, you will remember you had to go to the 3rd floor to check-in.

I really love all the new touches and also enjoy the touches they kept from the previous franchise.
