The Poker Room at the Golden Nugget was very comfortable. The tables and chairs were in like-new condition. They weren't very ornate but they were comfortable for 10 players.
The level of competition at the low level games($2/$4)was a pretty good range of skill. There were several college kids that couldn't quite understand the concept of checking instead of folding when first to act. The majority of players were a little older and a little more experienced. In all it was a pretty loose passive room.
I'd like to give the dealers at the Golden Nugget a 4, and I would if not for a single dealer that several times dealt the next card without waiting for all players to act (what a horrible way to give a free card). On more than one occasion this same dealer would push the pot to the wrong player. But like i said, it was one dealer that brought down my overall opinion of the dealers.
I wasn't too concerned with the cocktail service, but it seemed like the waitress came by about as often as the dealer button.
There was always a $2/$4 game when I was looking so I didn't have much need to interact with the management but they seemed like they had it together...they kept the tables full.
I did not ask.
I did not receive.
