Mandalay Bay or Golden Nugget Which Would You Pick?… ndalay Bay and Golden Nugget for the next trip. Mandalay Bay was an easy choice with four comped nights, FreePlay, food credit, and that ridiculous pool setup, then Golden Nugget got me with a cheap promo, no resort fee, Fremont, and the shark tank pool. I’ve never stayed at eith …

Does anyone like non-Circa downtown casinos?… l and depressing the vast majority of them are. Circa feels like a "real" casino, as does Golden Nugget to a certain extent, but all the rest just seemed so sad. For as much as Circus Circus (rightly) gets shit on in this sub, it feels like a major upgrade from most of the downto

First time in vegasHey, I am in vegas for the first time ever. I went to go to casinos to do a bit of gambling but it seems to just be a bunch of kiosks with giant phone game slot machines? Went to golden nugget and places off Fremont street. But what's the deal with all these kiosks?

re: Poker Ultimate UTH VegasI remember it being a bonus bet for the progressive. They take it and if you win they pay out accordingly. UTH at the Orleans casino was one of my faves because of min bet being reasonably low. Also, Golden Nugget is good.

re: Old VegasIf you're looking for budget friendly, try Four Queens and a room NOT on the Fremont side. It's central on Fremont and has Magnolias, a hidden gem of a restaurant. If you have a little more to spend, Golden Nugget and Circa are great for downtown.
r/vegas · in the thread · Aug 17
re: Old VegasVery good recommendation. Circa is the most popular and trendy, then Golden Nugget… but I would stay at 4 Queens or Plaza. Quieter options are Main Street or California. Downtown Grand has some inexpensive rooms at times.

re: Thoughts about hotels on the Fremont Street…Golden Nugget would have all three. El Cortez does as well. It’s farther but IMO I get way better service over there than GN. It’s a much smaller place so checking in and everyone at the front is usually pretty friendly and eager to help.
