What’s the Golden Nugget Resort and Casino in Vegas?
If you’re looking for entertainment, the resort’s showroom is stocked with star power. Impressionist Gordie Brown brings nearly a hundred celebs — from icons like Elvis and Michael Jackson to Aaron Neville and Sylvester Stallone — to life onstage. Of course, there is always live music and free Viva Vision sound and light shows to enjoy as part of the popular Fremont Street Experience attraction. The Golden Nugget, which is located in the heart of downtown, feels like a property you’d find on the Strip. Even though it’s got a long history, nothing about it is dated. The Golden Nugget is a dynamic resort with a hip attitude and doors that open out onto all the excitement of Fremont Street.
