Golden Nugget also typically offers poolside blackjack and craps which I have found to be an immense amount of fun.Ī secondary pool, The Hideout is a 21+ experience that features a smaller body of water and a lowkey poolside bar. Adding to the allure is the waterslide that sends guests right through the middle of the shark-infested aquarium via a clear tube. The Tank is built around a 200,000 aquarium that gives you the illusion of swimming with sharks.

The pool scene: Arguably the second-best pool scene in downtown Las Vegas, bested only by Circa, Golden Nugget’s pool is an attraction in itself. While the full menu can be viewed here, guests can expect to spend $60 – $70 on a steak and around $20 on appetizers. Although Troy can’t be considered inexpensive, drinks aren’t terribly priced by nightclub standards with most cocktails costing $15 or so.Įat a top-tier steak: While I can’t independently verify Vic & Anthony’s claim to be one of the 10 best steakhouses in the country, I can confirm that they are among the best in Vegas. If DJs and dancing are on your itinerary, put Troy atop your list.

Troy Liquor Bar is perched on the second level of the Golden Nugget overlooking the neon canyon that is the Fremont Street Experience. Hit Troy Liquor Bar: While nightclubs are common on the Strip, they are much harder to find downtown. Stop in for Chart House’s happy hour Monday – Friday from 4 pm – 6 pm which offers the opportunity to score rotating drink deals. Grab a drink with a view: Chart House, a seafood restaurant within GN, has a bar that is built around a 75,000-gallon aquarium stocked with an assortment of tropical fish. Stage Bar, which can be found on the exterior of Golden Nugget under the Fremont Street Canopy, offers the opportunity to grab a drink to go, or to sit and watch the unique assortment of people that visit Vegas as they pass by. Drink underneath the light show: Among my favorite aspects of visiting Fremont Street is the abundance of outdoor bars that provide the opportunity to people-watch in a lively atmosphere.
