blonde poker forum

Might snap book a week in LV and in the past I stayed on the strip. Was thinking of trying the Golden Nugget this time, has anyone got any good words/horror stories when staying there.

Is there a noise problem given its location ?

cheers

Good place, stayed there a couple of times and enjoyed it.

being old mate I get annoyed if its noisy when I am sleeping, ( 5 am to midday is the norm) was there a problem with external noise?

Nope, I have a problem with noise too as I'm a light sleeper and I don't recall it being a problem. I'm sure in the unlikely event of you finding a problem they would probably move you down the end of a corridor so u have no passing traffic.

Never had a problem with noise from outside but the aircon units in the Carson tower are noisy

cheers Rotty, Woodsey. If you were going to book for ten days what type of room would you take?

I just got the cheapest one as I'm not bothered about the extra frilly bits offered in superior or whatever the name rooms, it was absolutely fine had no complaints.

brill, cheers for the iinfo.

the Rush tower would be 1st choice

yes, nothing wrong with any of the rooms just the noisy aircon in the Carson, again this probably isn't an issue for most folks

I pretty much turn the AC off when I'm sleeping anyway as it fucks with my chest.

if you don't mind the walk, ask for a room far away from the lift and a high floor so away from any street noise. 

Cheers Double

I've stayed at The Nugget three or four times now Phil each time in the Carson tower.

I always ask for a quiet room and it takes you a bit longer to get there and back but well worth it imo.

The beds are comfy and the showers/bathrooms are first-class, especially so considering the price. I usually go in November when it's $39/$59 or something similar. There's a convenience store 200 yards down Freemont and if you ask nicely at reception they'll give you a 'fridge in the room. I love it there.

Sold it to me now, cheers everyone.

Old people seem to like it there Phil.

Lol I'm reading this from a low floor near the lift Carson tower room with slightly noisy air con ,absolutely spot on except they now want 20$ a night for a fridge unless you have a medical condition ,no complaints at all about the place cept all the sun beds were full/ in use yesterday

excellent, I will take my elasticated trousers and jumpers to help me blend in.

The structures look nice in their fessie events Tony, did you play any NLH events there or just the mixed games?

Not played anything yet , starting Sunday ,tourney room is quite busy but the 7 pm 65$ evening comp struggles a bit ,the strip is a 7$ bus ride away tho or 25/30 in a cab

No, I have only played "non Hold Em" there, but their struuctures for Omaha were far more to my liking than those at Caesars, Venetian, etc. Binions have good structures, too.

Ideal venue for the elasticated waistband brigade.

Both Ralph & Tom will tell you loads of lovely poker stories about Golden Nugget & Binions. I wish I'd discovered it years ago, it has a much more "European" feel to it.

EDIT - Apologies, think i was the "wrong" Tony! I actually bumped into TonyTats there the other day. Small world & all that.

cheers Tony

I'm sat in the Rush  tower now as it goes and will be here until their main event finishes on Monday. I snagged a corner suite on a deal, but got them to move me to a normal room when I got here as it was too big!!

As everyone has said the base rooms are decent and I only got the tower I did because I spend s bit of time in the room. There are myself and 6 other mates from another forum here until the end of June.

The prize pools are dwarfed by the Venetian, but they'll also be much softer and from what the other guys have said  the structures are decent.

Hopefully see you out here this week then!

Proper old boys thread....get a grip Marky - down with the wrinkles ;)

You haven't seen me move at the moment mate, I'm in the right place ;)

Yes tikay I came and said hello without introducing my self ,as I thought you knew my name on here congrats on winning the Omaha Wednesday
We r sat by the pool at the moment to get a sun bed lol ,all were full yesterday

Lol, I'll be honest with you Tony, you came & said hello, & I was not quite sure who it was, so I just did the polite niceties thing. I went & sat down, & started trying to think who you were, & it suddenly dawned on me who it was! So I'm sorry if I was a little distant. It's an age thing.....

An amazing number of people come see me & chat, & sometimes it does not click with me who they are.

I'll be there today, in fact, & I promise to kiss you if I see you.......

When Ralph and I stayed at the Nugget we asked if we could have a fridge. 10 minutes later there was a knock on the door. We opened it and in walked a little Filipino lady with one on her back.

She set it down in a corner, accepted a small gratuity and left. 

We tried to move it to the other corner, but we couldn't lift it.

I love downtown Vegas and I love the Nugget.

They now charge 20$ a day ,wether that's for the fridge ,the little phillipino woman or both ,I havnt asked

Ralph bunged the receptionist a ten spot and wiggled his eyebrows.

He also taught me to tip the staff when you arrive, they can't give you better service if you tip them when you leave....

Tom taught me that a weak bladder can ensure the happiest of outcomes on the way home.
