"The only hotel-casino in the sector that comes close to rivaling the Strip in respectability is the Golden Nugget, with its clean... guest rooms, its boisterous casino, and its Rush Tower."

"The Golden Nugget has pretty much reigned as Downtown's top property since the mid 1970s, evolving with the times, but maintaining classic appeal."
