The Pool at Golden Nugget Las Vegas

"With a hundred retrofurnished rooms – some with flowery windowboxes – it’s tiny by Vegas standards, and slightly lower-key than its Fremont Street neigh Still the only downtown casino to make a serious bid for the luxury end of the market, the Golden Nugget is undeniably glittery, and has one of the finest pool complexes in town (assuming you feel up to the scrutiny in its goldfish-bowl atmosphere)"

"From some of them, you can fully view the Tank, an above-ground shark tank in the middle of the Nugget's pool area"

"The resort stands apart from its "Old Vegas" neighbors with unique attractions, namely The Tank, a pool with a shark tank and a three-story waterslide (which, incidentally, goes through the shark tank)"

"The nearby D Casino Hotel Las Vegas has a similar vibe, with nicer rooms and a less exciting pool for cheaper nightly rates"

"And then there's the fabulous pool area, complete with private cabanas, its own lounge (the Dive Bar, tee hee) and water slides running through a central shark tank"

"This 200,000-gallon aquarium features an enclosed acrylic water tube, where brave riders can slide through shark-infested water to the pool below"

"The centerpiece is a Diamonds Are Forever-esque pool complex built around a three-story shark tank with cabanas on top, a blackjack tables alongside and a water slide runningthrough it"

"The “closest thing Downtown has to a Strip hotel”, this “classy Vegas original” in the "heart of the fun" on Fremont Street is a “well-cared-for and well-loved” property with “spacious”, “nicer-than-expected” rooms, especially those in the “gorgeous” Rush Tower that overlooks the “awesome” pool with a waterslide that sends “riders through a shark tank before splashdown”; a “polite”, “attentive” staff looks after guests, and perks include a number of “great” bars and restaurants, a “busy” casino and a spa"

"Don’t miss the pool, which has an enclosed slide that runs right through a shark-filled aquarium, and the Chart House restaurant, whose bar wraps around a 75,000-gallon tropical aquarium"

"It's got a vintage vibe, which includes frou-frou bedrooms, poolside cabanas, a shark-tank water slide and a steakhouse and seafood palace (complete with aquarium)"
