This last stay at the Golden Nugget was very disappointing. The towels had old stains of makeup, the ceiling was splattered with oil/lotion, and the water pressure was low, in the morning the toilet and sink faucet make a horrible noise related to the low water pressure. Very disappointing

Everything about this casino was great I was supposed to have an anniversary celebration prior to staying here I stayed at L'Auberge casino and it was terrible. Checked out the very next day and came here! The pool is amazing, rooms, staff and drinks when gambling. Would recommend getting a late night food option or vending machines through out floors. Other than that i will be back.
