The Golden Nugget is an older hotel/casino on the Fremont Street area in Vegas. The parking garage was pretty easy to find, with lots of entrance signs. It's free to park if you're staying at the Nugget but strangely costs to park there otherwise. Check in was pretty simple but with my room in the Carson Tower it was a pretty long haul from the reception desk to the room. The room was pretty large and nice in appearance but had some flaws upon examination. - No fridge. - No free coffeemaker. The bed was large and the room was non-smoking but I wasn't able to reserve those things when I made the reservation, I had to wait until check in to actually know that I'd get a non-smoking room. Pretty lame, in this day and age. The bathroom was good sized and pretty modern. TV was large flat screen but the remote was cantankerous. The alarm clock was way too complicated, never did figure that thing out. Plus: the hotel was pretty quiet during my stay, most smaller hotels seem to be very noisy but this building wasn't. For the money, I'd rather stay on the Strip or I'd expect a better room that isn't on the 18th floor.

Pizza is good. Pretty normal flavor for this type of place. The charging for refills annoys me and the service is subpar but they have a cheap lunch special. They do have an outstanding ranch though. I don't know what the secret is but it's the bomb.

Had a dry style for a wedding over the weekend. My hair looked absolutely horrible and as a member of the bridal party seeing the pictures is very upsetting. It was stringy and kinky and looked awful. The stylist admitted to me it was her third day....(she also asked very personal questions which I found very inappropriate but was a nice young girl) I should have asked for someone to fix it but I was already behind so I just left. I should have done it myself and saved the $35.00.

I've been searching for a good sushi place that has some great spicy tuna. Unlike what most people think, not everyone can make good spicy tuna rolls. I read the reviews and placed an order for pick up. The downside to such a great place is that they only have pick up but no delivery. I recommend the Misty, Sin City, Spicy Tuna Roll and Baked Mussels. I tried the Poncho but that was a miss. Definitely will be back!
