Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe

Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good
"They are still working out a few kinks while remodeling. Construction noise during the day was annoying, but understandable. Our TV went out and it took 24 hours and three phone calls to get someone to look at. They couldn’t fix it and moved us to another room. On the plus side, the valet and bell staff was fantastic."

"Great place to stay, the layout of the room was nice too. They had cute little community things like s’mores too. The only thing I thought was weird was they said there was going to be a continental breakfast but they didn’t have it. Overall my partner and I loved the place. Close to everything too ❤️"
