The renovated pool - now called ‘The Tank’ is a highlight of the property. The room was outstanding, and at a great value.

We have only stayed this one time in the Rush Tower, so these are the only accommodations I can (highly) recommend. Everything was fresh and new - ideally it’s a ‘look’ they can maintain. The double-sink bathrooms were huge - plenty of vanity space - and a Raintree shower head that was wonderful. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The décor was elegant, with rich woods, a flat screen TV, iPod docking station, leather sofas and handsome lighting. Our room was incredibly clean, comfortable and well appointed with plenty of amenities. There is no traipsing through the casino to get to the elevator to take you up to your room, it’s just around the corner.

(Be sure to park or ask the taxi driver to drop you off at the Carson Street entrance if you’re staying in the Rush Tower) Besides a friendly valet and quick service, the front desk for the Rush Tower has the gorgeous 75,000 gallon tropical aquarium from the Chart House as their backdrop. The Rush Tower has it’s own check-in desk, which we didn’t know, so we stood in a short line at the main check-in desk, while the other desk would have probably checked us in immediately. Upon checking in, we were not disappointed and in fact were truly impressed with the entire stay. The week-day rate for a room in Golden Nugget’s new Rush Tower was very reasonable and the pictures (on their web site) of the accommodations looked inviting. As other reviewers have mentioned, we decided to take a ‘gamble’ and try staying downtown instead of The Strip during this trip to Las Vegas.
