Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino Does it Again!


The Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino never fails to amaze me with its surprises. Not only was it the site for the taping of the new season of High Stakes Poker this past December, but the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino still has one of the most entertaining poker rooms in Vegas.


I know many of you will have different opinions on this one. However, if you want to have a good time while visiting Vegas, you'll have a hard time beating the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino for entertainment value. I say this for many reasons.


The Golden Nugget is located in old town. So, if you are a sucker for nostalgia you will probably really enjoy it. The poker room there is also small. It doesn't really compare to the monster poker rooms in some of the hotels on the strip, but I assure you it will keep you entertained.


The best approach to hitting this unique poker room is to go in with a relaxed state of mind. This is probably good advice for all poker sits in general, but I would especially recommend it for this particular room. I would especially make this recommendation if you prefer limit poker instead of no-limit. The reason for this I believe is obvious. Limit is going to attract many more casual players who will be there just to have a good time and the more of them that are sitting at your table, the more likely you will be getting the bad beat end of the stick.


The Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino is a blast and it was especially enjoyable during this year's World Series. Congrats to all my friends who cashed this year. If I'm not so busy the next time around I will definitely see you there.
