Spa and Salon – Golden Nugget

I had the worst manicure, I’ve ever had at the Golden Nugget. I was very excited because I had just gotten engaged. We were playing at the casino and I thought why not! The woman who did my nails told me about all her trashy relationships and how marriage would never last. I actually thought that it was funny and was grateful I wasn’t in her shoes. She barely clean, buffed, or did anything to my nails. It was ridiculous! She didn’t touch my cuticles. She basically took off my nail polish and shellaced over. Now I have my nails done on a regular basis but I expect someone to push back if not cut the cuticles. I would also expect for a «salon» to at least put some lotion on if not message my nails. It was ridiculous and in the end the tip was included. I PAID 76 FOR A HORRIBLE MANICURE!!! THE WORST!

Spent my last day in vegas here for a little ME time. Quiet and nice. I LOVE the whirlpool. I’m a spa gal and it is one of my favs in the world actually.
I was lucky enough to be here on a day when an attendant named Dianne was working. Give that girl a raise, she made SURE every person was taken care of and happy. It was nice to see someone who didn’t just point you in the right direction and get back to their facebook posting. She was kind and actually made the space more relaxing.
Cheers to excellent service!
I can’t wait to get back again.

This place blows. Snobby staff and NOT family friendly. I had a room at the nugget and couldn’t lift because my kids were with me.

Front desk girls were not friendly. Manicure consisted of cuticle removal and shellac nail polish. No hand massage. Not worth $ 60. Relaxation body massage was just ok. Not worth $ 130. I would not go back.

Had an amazing experience /​service done at this spa! Let’s start from the beginning…
We were staying downtown for my birthday weekend and didn’t want to go too far from the hotel we were staying at. So I «Yelped» spa’s nearby and this one came up as #1 on the search.
Read some reviews and decided to try it out.
People.don’t let the outside and surrounding casino/​hotels deceive you. Once you get upstairs to the spa level it’s like a whole new experience. No cigarette smell nothin. Bliss
Was taken into the back waiting area where there was women section and I’m assuming there was a men section. They escorted me and gave me tour of the facilities. Sauna. .steam room. jacuzzi. .clothing optional. Walked me into locker/​change room where I had my own locker for personal items and comfy chairs to sit and wait with spa water and small refreshments to snack and wait.
Now let’s get to my actual services… my 50min Therapeutic Massage provided by Linda L. She. Was. Aaaaaaaamazing! Perfect pressure covering all body parts while focusing on the troubled areas she had asked ahead of time. Very professional the entire time… minimal talking (which I really like during a massage) and did I mention how perfect the pressure was??? The lotion was all heated which blew my mind. The table was motorized so she could lift me up or down so she could apply and work on the body parts she needed to reach. At the end of my services she asked how I felt would I like a beverage (telling me all types) and then advising me for after care of the therapeutic oils /​massage.
After leaving the room she advised me that I may continue to use the facilities throughout the day and enjoy. The highlight was being treated like a queen especially on my birthday. thank you Linda L. for providing me with such an amazing massage. Next time I come back to Vegas I will seek you out and get another massage by you.
Enjoy!

Diane gave me the full spa treatment on my pedicure! She was warm, welcoming, and took her time. This is definitely a spa treatment, and worth your time! I love my pedi!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Diane is! My nails were totally botched by a cheap shop and she transformed them into a work of art. I felt like a princess, enjoyed her personality and company as well as have beautiful nails now. Thank you so much for helping me in my emergency!
I highly recommend Diane for any nail treatment you want!

Wow, that’s all I can say! My husband treated me to a massage, facial & hair wash & cut! It was amazing! Very on time, top notch services!

Overall Impression: Standard hotel spa, and the only one downtown on Fremont Street. By standard, I mean to say it’s very small, but very clean and nicely designed, despite its size. The jacuzzi tub was small, more than 3 guys and it would feel cramped. The showers had a temperature gauge which was unique. I’m not thrilled about the $ 25 hotel guest price, but If you’re staying down town, and need some time to escape and soak, the Spa at the ‘nug should do the job.

My sister and I both liked our massages. We also thought that the people who work there work very hard to make this a positive experience. However, the spa itself was disappointing. The jacuzzi seriously needs to be either deep cleaned or grouted. There were many areas that were black with mildew. There is not a luxurious place to hang out like in other similarly priced Vegas spas. My sister and I hug out in the locker room, which was well tended to, but otherwise a disappointment. Highlights other than the people who work there, were the snacks and cucumber water, as well as the chilled towels and sliced cucumbers in the jacuzzi area. I hope they improve their facility because my sister and I both enjoy staying at the Golden Nugget hotel and would love to have a luxurious spa day when we do.

Great experience here at the Salon in The Golden Nugget.
Train at the gym, do cardio, and they also have a private bathroom n changing area w/​robe and slippers included. There’s also a big steam room, dry sauna and whirlpool tub!
And water, trail mix, teas and fruits provided throughout the spa.
*I do wish the gym area was bigger. It’s a small room! For a massive Golden Nugget hotel, I find that odd.

Originally, I planned for just a day pass at $ 20, but changed my mind for a mani and pedi which was a great decision! The mani = $ 35 & pedi = $ 65 + daily pass. Plus, the spa specialist did a great job with the mani/​pedi!
Unfortunately, the fitness center was a bit crunched with minimal space for the ballet bar and any yoga moves.
However, the pool is not associated with the spa. Hence, instead of warning us ahead of time that nothing can be left in the locker room/​taken out of the spa such as the robe, slippers, and spa towels, we attempted to leave 5 times w/​5 warnings regarding the previously mentioned policies/​procedures. Thus, my cousin visiting from Kona was not happy and it made our visit a bit uncomfortable. Overall, we were unable to visit the main pool because it closes at 5pm and because the spa and the pool do not have policies/​procedures that choose to not work together to make their facilities better for the clients. In conclusion, I may not return to this spa.

This spa was amazing! Mario is an amazing therapist, gave me an excellent deep tissue massage. The hot tub and sauna was exactly what I needed. Highly recommend this place!

The spa at the Golden Nugget was fabulous! Jeff was my massage therapist and he was outstanding. I will definetly come again.

I used Unilocal to search «farts» in Las Vegas, NV and this place came up first, haha. That’s awesome.

Ted, Ted, Ted !! I am a super massage snob, I’ve had hundreds and been to a lot of great places in Vegas including the canyon ranch, Qua, and the Elemis. While those are great and have some pretty impressive facilities they are all lacking, Ted! My husband and I get a massage with him every time we go to Vegas and he never disappoints. He is professional, caring, and loves what he does. I always feel like a million bucks after his treatment and you will to!

The Hubs and I treated ourselves to a spa day while staying at the Golden Nugget recently. We found a deal on travelzoo and booked two massages and express facials. The deal was an awesome price and now I can say very much worth the value.
The décor inside the spa is nice. The only thing I think it was lacking, was somewhere couples could sit and relax together. The locker rooms were good and provide a hot tub and saunas, but there wasn’t anywhere to be in the hot tub or pool with your significant other. As far as the massage is concerned, we both had great ones. I had a male masseuse for the first time and was expecting a female… there must have been some mix-​up, but I just went with it. He was great and my Husband enjoyed his experience as well. The quick facial was also very pleasant… I only wish it was longer!
All in all, I thought the service/​enviornment was great. I would go back again in a heartbeat… in fact, I wish I was there now!

I came here for the first time in November for my bday. I got a really good deal on groupon for a facial. The whole experience was awesome! I would most definitely recommend it to anyone! I would say since your paying your money’s worth I’d stay there all day if I was you. You aren’t going to want to leave. Bring your swimsuit and workout clothes!

The only reason why I tried out the spa was because there was a Groupon deal for a massage and facial. We were about 5 minutes late and the staff quickly rushed us through to get dressed for our session. My masseuse was a nice man who talked throughout the massage session. I was hoping for a quiet time to relax but he wanted a full on conversation. I complied but tried to close my eyes and phase out his talking as much as possible.
I asked for a firm and hard massage but he went pretty light. I guess I might be more used to the masseuses who climb on your back and dig their heels into your back. Although it was relaxing, it was not up to par to that type of massages I would get for $ 20 in Garden Grove.
The facial was good and she was a talker too. She gave me advice and quickly finished my session before time was done.
The jacuzzi was nice but there was some form of a black mold on one half (according to my friend) and the sauna not as hot as other spas.
I felt that the staff was rushing us through all of our sessions which made it difficult to relax. It was one appointment after the other and we had little time to sit back and relax between appointments. I will only be back if there is a great deal, otherwise, I will be at the Hard Rock Spa. That one is much nicer.

Whoever thought that I’d be able to find heaven in good ol’, downtown Vegas?
Accessed through an elevator across from the pool area in the hotel, you will find a gleaming, golden lobby with a receptionist there to greet you and check you in. After check-​in, I was led to a desk where I was offered water or fruit juice, a pair of spa slippers, and a key to my locker. Inside, I found a fluffy robe to change into. The waiting room had a selection of fresh fruit to choose from, some dried fruit, as well as teas and cucumber water. I put on my swimsuit and went exploring.
Steam room: Wow. That room sure was… steamy.
The Sauna: Very sauna.
I ended up hanging out in their very large jacuzzi. I think the sign said it accommodates something like 20+ people? or maybe it was 10. iono. it was humongous!
After my explorations, I was led to the desk, where I was greeted by Mauro, who was to be my masseuse:
Magical
And
Unbelievably good masseuse who
Really, really, really works
Out any kink or ache your muscles may have!
I swear, it was an unbelievable experience. I read somewhere that sometimes masseuses manage to relax a person so much that the person… farts. I didn’t fart, but I did finally realize how someone could start farting during a massage. So there you go.
