About The Golden Nugget Given all of the Golden Nugget’s modern amenities, it’s hard to believe this Las Vegas legend first opened in 1946. The property has 2,419 rooms, one of the largest properties north of the center Strip. The Fremont Street Experience casino also has an eye-popping pool with a built-in shark tank slide, a highly-rated spa and salon, and some of the finest restaurants downtown. Unlike other casinos which treat poker as an afterthought, the Golden Nugget poker room is very much front and center, adjacent to the main casino floor. The smoke-free room has 13 cash-game tables, with comfortable seating and plush decor. Televisions are also situated above and all tables are equipped with phone chargers.
