If you haven't stayed at the Golden Nugget downtown, there will be a lot more reasons for you to stay there. The hotel is not only the nicest hotel downtown, but its getting a facelift. I've stayed there, I'll stay there again. Downtown can be a lot of fun, wandering in and out of the casinos! And downtown is a great place to people watch!

Last year owners of the Golden Nugget spent $100 million on the hotel's biggest upgrade since 1984 when Steve Wynn owned the property.
There's more where that came from.
Now Landry's Restaurants, a Houston-based company that bought the Golden Nugget in 2005, is finishing a $70 million casino, convention and nightclub addition.
As early as next year the company plans to spend another $150 million adding an approximately 500-room hotel tower with casino to what is already the swankiest spot on Fremont Street.
