People often ask for cheap places to stay in Las Vegas and I like to send people to hotels with new and clean hotel rooms first and formost. After new and clean rooms I look to the casino and then other amenities since that’s how I roll. In the past couple weeks a few non-major hotel & casino renovations have been announced. Here’s the rundown.
Golden Nugget – I don’t go inside this building anymore after too many bad gambling losses. That said, the Golden Nugget is probably the nicest, most luxurious, hotel in downtown Vegas. Golden Nugget room rates are easily the most expensive downtown and are comparable to hotel room rates on the Vegas strip. That’s how the Golden Nugget can pay for the Rush Tower, which opened just 4 years ago, to get new rooms called the Gold Club. I’m biased but I’d save my money downtown and get a remodeled room at the D, Golden Gate, Fremont or Plaza. You can find more renderings and details on the Gold Club hotel rooms at Vegas News.

According to this week’s Five Hundy, the Hooter’s renovations were canceled. Might wanna check your sources on that.
Chris, see the update in the article mentioning that linking to their podcast. 🙂
When the Golden Nugget opened up the Rush Tower, they didn’t complete all of the floors of the tower. The fire in the Rush Tower last year was on one of the unoccupied floors. The new rooms in the Rush Tower do look quite nice, but what’s interesting is that they seem to be charging the same for the Gold Club rooms in the Rush Tower that they do for the Junior Corner Suites in the same tower.
Side note regarding the Golden Nugget’s new property in Biloxi. The Isle website is now like the regular GN websites and there are some different GN logos floating around on the site as well.
