What's included with your room and what costs extra
Your nightly room rate at Golden Nugget Las Vegas Hotel & Casino covers the room itself; a mandatory daily resort fee (listed on the hotel's site) is charged at check-in and bundles certain services. Most services—meals in restaurants, spa treatments, cabana rentals, valet and pet fees—cost extra.

What's covered by the mandatory resort fee
Golden Nugget charges a daily resort fee (the hotel lists $46.00 plus tax on its site) that is charged at check-in. This fee is separate from the nightly room rate and covers a package of services rather than paying for food or entertainment.
Typical inclusions listed by the property are limited and aimed at basic guest needs rather than dining or activities.
- In-room Wi‑Fi access for two devices per reservation
- Fitness center access for up to two guests (wet areas may be excluded)
- Four bottles of water on arrival
- Self-parking for registered hotel guests (subject to garage availability)
- Boarding-pass printing and Downtown Destination coupons

Specific room types available at Golden Nugget include One Bedroom Spa Suite, Gold Tower Deluxe Room, One Bedroom Parlor Suite, Gold Tower Deluxe Two Beds Room, Carson Tower Deluxe Room, Run of House Room, Rush Tower Room, and Rush Tower Corner Suite.

Pools, cabanas and poolside access (what’s free vs. extra)
Hotel guests have room-key access to The Tank and the Hideout pool complex; presenting a valid room key gives complimentary entry to those pool areas. The Tank is family-friendly while the Hideout is limited to guests 21+.
Cabanas, daybeds and certain premium pool services are additional and priced separately by the property. The Tank complex includes a large shark aquarium and a waterslide; pool hours and seasonal events can vary.
- The Tank pool: family-friendly, includes the shark aquarium and a waterslide; hotel guests get access with a room key
- The Hideout: 21+ area with its own bar, cabanas and daybeds (ID required for entry)

Dining and drinks: what costs extra
Golden Nugget offers a wide range of on-site restaurants and bars (Vic & Anthony’s, Chart House, Saltgrass Steak House, Red Asian Cuisine, Cadillac Mexican Kitchen, The Grille, Chick‑fil‑A, Starbucks, and more). Meals, alcoholic drinks and specialty menus are charged separately unless you have a third-party package that specifically includes them.
The hotel’s restaurant policy states that guests never pay for self-parking on the day they dine, which can save on parking but does not waive food or beverage charges.
- All restaurant and bar food/drink is billed separately from the room rate and resort fee
- Some restaurants (hours/dress codes apply) take reservations; Vic & Anthony’s enforces an upscale dress code
- Quick-service outlets (Starbucks, Chick‑fil‑A, The Grille) provide faster, lower-cost options but are still pay-as-you-order
| Venue | Typical payment |
|---|---|
| Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse | Pay per meal; reservations recommended |
| Starbucks / Chick‑fil‑A | Pay per order (quick service) |
| Pool bars (H2O / Hideout) | Drinks and daybeds/cabanas charged separately |

The Spa & Salon at Golden Nugget offers treatments, manicure/pedicure services and signature facials; spa treatments, service charges and any day‑use passes included with treatments are billed separately.
- Fitness center access: included for two guests as part of the resort fee (check current hours)
