Called and emailed to get some amenities to celebrate my anniversary. No one called or emailed me back. Dinner at Vic and Anthony was mediocre. Didn’t get any anniversary celebration even though we spent over $600 on dinner. No body wash available. I won’t stay here again.

Room was nice and clean. I ordered room Service breakfast and is the worst I have ever had in a hotel. They serve all of the food on plastic containers…,over ez eggs on foam container with foil. the scramble eggs, terrible and Cold!!! Coffee served on paper cup and only one!!!! The cheapest paper plates I mean the cheapest!!!!! They forgot to add the pancake and we had to wait another 20 mins when all the food got cold and disgusting. Oh but they add a load full of jelly when we did not get toast, tons of sugar and we only got 1 cup of coffee; butter and don’t don’t why This “Brekfast” cost us $100. for 2 ppl. I threw away most of it, is a shame for the Golden Nugget I’m so disappointed I won’t stay there just because they didn’t seem to care. I talked to other ppl there who also had other complaints. I was celebrating our anniversary and I was looking forward for nice breakfast in my room. It ended up being a dissatisfaction!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND. Sorry.

The quality of the hotel has gone down tremendously. Mold in the shower on the floors. Dust everywhere. Unsupervised children chasing each other everywhere. Over priced drinks that were filled with ice and syrup barely any alcohol. It wasn’t what i was expecting for a 4 star hotel
