Facilitated a needed break!
The Nugget was a gem. I needed a break and the jet tub with room service did the trick! Will definately recommend to family & friends.

Great Stay...Very Nice
The hotel is great for a business stay - cheaper and nicer than your standard hilton/marriot/etc. The restaurants are very good. The casino was nice - although I did not gamble. They had a free "Smooth Jazz" concert one night that was free at one of the restaurants. The only negative is the hotel borders the train switching yard. That can be noisy. But other than that - I highly recommend this hotel...

Nice hotel
The stay was comfortable. The rooms were clean. There were more than 1,000 people for the conference at the hotel. While the restaurants had a long wait because of the crowd, the food was fine too. I will go back to the hotel, if I go back to Reno.
