Golden Nugget - VIP Lounge

Does anyone have nfo on the Golden Gunnet%26#39;s VIP lounge. Website indicated:

';Give yourself the VIP treatment! For just $15, you can have access to our lavish and intimate VIP Lounge';

I have call reservations to gather info on this several times and have not been able to get through to anyone with knowledge.

Any TA friends know what it includes, free drinks, snacks, etc. is it like a concierge level?

Is it worth the $15?

Thanks

Golden Nugget - VIP Lounge

To answer that question, let me ask you a question:

If you were staying at the Golden Nugget, and you didn%26#39;t know there was such a thing as a VIP Lounge there, do you think you would feel there was something missing form your experience?

Marketing is the art of convincing people that they need/want things they have never needed/wanted before. Most likely what you get for the $15 bucks is the ability to make your travel companions think you%26#39;re a big shot because you have access to something that is restricted.

That alone sounds like it is worth $15 to me.

Stratton,

I don%26#39;t need the soapbox speech! It was a simple question. If you don%26#39;t have an answer to the question why waste time and effort.

If you must know - my family always stays at MGM properties on the strip but I taked them into doing the Nugget for one evening on this coming trip and thought it might be worth giving them a ';VIP Lounge'; treatment to possibly equal some of the fine experiences we have at high end Strip Props.

Any legitimate response or answer would be appreciated.

weljef, I answered your question, and I did so politely and in a way that I thought would help you to make up your own mind. I also shared my own opinion. I%26#39;m sorry if you didn%26#39;t find it helpful. I%26#39;m not sure why that ruffled your feathers, but do yourself a favor and lighten up.

I will be staying at the GN this weekend, and would love to see a legit answer myself.

Sorry Stratton, I thought you were being sarcastic. No Offense!

I really just want to know what you get for your $15.

I have personally called the hotel on 2 separate occasions and after holding I could not get a legit answer. Leasding me to believe it may be a new thing at the Hotel since the Landry%26#39;s buyout.

Your reply only continued my frustration of no solid answer of what the VIP lounge includes.

Understood - it probably is new and the staff probably have no idea. I certainly agree that I%26#39;d want more details before spending my money on something like that. Of course, looking at it another way, it%26#39;s the cost of one hand of blackjack :)

Was this presented to you as an add on to your room rate or something to do with the casino? (Maybe you don%26#39;t know the answer to that.) when we stayed in the Nugget last fall sometime, they were working on their ';High Limit'; gaming area, which is in an alcove you pass going from North Tower Lobby into the casino area. I%26#39;m not sure , but I think I saw a door inside it that said VIP on the glass. So, I%26#39;m wondering if somehow they have a special lounge on the gaming floor that offers special services, like perhaps a bar and %26#39;or snacks , rest rooms etc for people who pay for the priviledge- like a Captain%26#39;s Club at an airport? I realize that a lot of hotels have a special area for their high rollers ( those comped by invitation ) to check in that is away from us peons, but I thought I saw that in North Tower Lobby.

Really, I have no idea, I%26#39;m just speculating- but do post the answer when you return. I would never aspire to a VIP area at any cost as I%26#39;m an El Cortez gaming and Binions Beans kind of gal- but it would be nice to know as we always stay at the Nugget- if there is food involved, might be worth it!

I was curious too since I%26#39;m trying to give downton a chance for the first time. Here%26#39;s the most I found: ';A new VIP lounge offers personalized services and a private check-in area for frequent guests whereas a new ultra-lounge allows guests to relax in an upscale atmosphere.'; Doesn%26#39;t sound like free drinks or food.

Thanks, that sounds more like a courtesy room at the airport (courtesy services, internet, casino hosts etc.) and not a VIP lounge.

I%26#39;ll follow up if I get any more details.

Thanks
