Much Fun at the Golden Nugget


While in Vegas for PMA, we got to stay at one of my favorite hotels: The Golden Nugget. Yes it's in the gloriously seedy downtown area and I love it! It has the most amazing pool area you've ever seen, a decadent spa, beautiful rooms and $5 three-card poker tables. What more could one ask for?!

When I was here in October 2006, this area was under construction And now look at it! But wait, what's that stuff in the center?
