The nonsmoking poker room hosts daily tournaments.
With eateries and a swimming pool famous for its shark tank, the Golden Nugget draws a moneyed crowd with a 38,000-sq-ft casino populated by table games and slot machines with the same odds as at Strip megaresorts. Check out the polished brass and white leather seats in the casino: day or night, the Golden Nugget is downtown's poshest address (not that there's a dress code or anything).
