Great that they're putting money into the place. DT definitely needs some draws, like the new pool and new restaurants. I never thought it was a nightclub crowd tho -- figured what the place needed more was a Carnaval Court type party bar.
I haven't stayed at GN since sometime in the 1990's. I gave them a few bucks last year when I went to see the new pool and bar/restaurant, Grotto. This week, I got a mailing announcing the new club, Gold Diggers, along with 3-nights comped room each month during the 1st Quarter. Since my absence at Bellagio for more than a year has made my comps disappear there, I may try GN before spring.
GN's website has been improved, imo:
http://www.goldennugget.com/
So what's the target market for the nightclub anyway? They can't possibly be going for the same clientele the strip attracts. On the site, there's no mention of bottle service, but I am surprised to see it's open until 4am. That'll probably wind up changing--Fremont street is practically a ghost town by 2am, even on a Sunday morning.
The target market is people in the rooms, I'd guess. They don't seem to have a problem putting people in the rooms downtown, they just have trouble keeping them from driving/busing off to the Strip to do practically anything.
I wouldn't expect a VIP line and high standards for the clientele, but then again folks who can't get into those kinds of places need somewhere to go, too.
I visited last year and thought they had done a good job.
Detroit, did you eat at Grotto? If so, I am thinking of going there when I visit next week, would you recommend it?
Cheers, Andrew
Andrew, I was there in November '06. The pool was still empty and I believe Grotto had just opened. I was there during the day and didn't eat there. There are a few not very good photos I took then:
