Talk:Golden Nugget Las Vegas

Guy McAffee
I've heard the Nugget was originally founded by crooked LAPD Vice cop Guy McAffee & his gambling pard... Confirm & include? Trekphiler 06:01, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, Guy McAfee is mentioned at this site since that is a PBS site it should be acceptable. Vegaswikian 06:13, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * You are correct. Guy McAfee was the original owner of the Golden Nugget - as stated in the hotel-casino's own press kit: http://www.goldennugget.com/i/downloads/Timeline.doc.

Four Diamond Rating
I know that the Golden Nugget promotes their consecutive 4 diamond rating (since 1977), but on the ww.mobiltravelguide.com for 2008 it is listed as having 3 stars.Pacomartin (talk) 07:15, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Also "Revenge of the Caveman" has left the Golden Nugget Showroom and been replaced by "Downtown Gordie Brown".Pacomartin (talk) 07:15, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

1905?
When the Nugget opened on Fremont and 2nd Street in 1946, it had prominent signage saying "1905." see http://www.westvegas.com/vegas_photos/UP_1946_GOLDEN_NUGGET.jpg

"The 1905 on the sign led many to believe that the Golden Nugget had been part of the original development of Fremont Street but that was a myth." Classic Las Vegas

So far as I can tell, the 1905 refers to the year Las Vegas started development, though why they put this year on a 1946 building is beyond me. Some are still confused by it:

"In the heart of downtown Las Vegas (since 1905), the Golden Nugget has been through many owners and many changes." Vegas Today and Tomorrow

Since this misinformation is still being spread, it would be good to research this and incorporate it in the article Bustter (talk) 09:47, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Golden Nugget and the recession section needs more work
There is a sentence which says "... the chart below..." What chart? I'm not seeing it. Whoever is now working on this may want to give it some revisions and make it more meaningful. Thanks Zul32 (talk) 16:52, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
