With more than seven decades of history in Las Vegas, the Golden Nugget still shines as one of the star properties along the famed Fremont Street Experience downtown. The huge property has everything a guest could want—restaurants, nightlife, gambling, entertainment and one of the coolest features in the whole city, its pool complex called The Tank, which features a 200,000-gallon shark tank with various species of sharks. (You can even take a waterslide ride through the tank!)
One could never get bored, hungry or thirsty at the Golden Nugget with its vast array of options. But lucky for you, we’ve helped narrow down the choices. In this feature, we’ll shine the spotlight on three of our favorite spots to explore for food, drink and fun.
1. Troy Liquor Bar
If a night out in Las Vegas means drinking and dancing, we suggest skipping the megaclubs and trying Troy Liquor Bar. This nightclub is way more intimate in size, but the fun you’ll have here is huge. With live DJs and VIP tables, Troy operates exactly like all the other nightclubs in Vegas, but there are bonuses at this spot. One, you can gamble at table games on the balcony; and two, let’s talk about that balcony—spacious and overlooking the famed Fremont Street Experience! At Troy, one of the best bonuses is its bottle service: the prices here won’t break your bank. For only $299 you can get a bottle of Absolut Elyx vodka and one bottle of Moët & Chandon Imperial Brut champagne. In the world of Vegas nightlife, this is a deal that can’t be beat.
2. Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse
Stepping inside this hidden-gem steakhouse downtown instantly transports guests to a special evening. The décor and ambience is understated elegance mixed with a great balance of romantic vibes and social fun. Vic & Anthony’s also offers some of the best cuts of meat in the city. Here you can order three options that’ll melt in your mouth: the 8-ounce Snake River Farms rib cap, the A5 Kobe and the A5 Japanese wagyu filet mignon. The steakhouse offers an impressive specialty cocktails list (drinks and the full menu can also be enjoyed at the bar and lounge area). For a special experience, book one of the tables on the mezzanine level by calling 702.386.8288.
3. Chart House
While Chart House (found in Golden Nugget’s newest tower, the Rush Tower) is a nice spot for dinner, we suggest this spot for some cocktails and light bites in the bar and lounge area. The draw here is a mesmerizing one—a 75,000-gallon aquarium with hundreds of fish swimming around. Plus, you can’t beat happy hour from 4-6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Enjoy $7 cocktails like the pomegranate martini and the mango mojito, $4 domestic beers and $5 import beers, $6 glasses of wine, and $7 premium spirits like Dewar’s Scotch and Bulleit bourbon. Nosh on yummy dishes from $5-$9 like seared ahi nachos, fried artichokes, firecracker shrimp and prime rib sliders.
