Histori
The Golden Nugget was originally built in 1946, making it one of the oldest casinos in the city. Jackie Gaughan at one time had a stake in the hotel as part of many properties downtown. Steve Wynn bought a stake in Nugget, which he upgraded so that in 1973 he became the majority shareholder, and the youngest casino owner in Las Vegas. In 1977 he opened the first hotel tower and the resort got the first four diamond ratings from the Car Travel Guide. It was the foundation for Wynn's rise to become famous in the casino industry. The second hotel tower opened in 1984 along with a showroom, and the third tower was opened in 1989. In 2000, Golden Nugget (and all other properties belonging to Mirage Resorts) was sold to MGM Grand, Inc. (later named MGM Mirage).
Although the Golden Nugget is profitable, it is not part of a corporate expansion plan focused on consolidating long strips of Strip by acquiring Mandalay Resort Group, building the City Center, and starting construction in Macau. Game revenue on Fremont Street has peaked in fiscal 1993. Golden Nugget sold for $ 215 million for Poster Financial Group, owned by Timothy Poster and Thomas Breitling in 2004. When Poster Financial took over the Golden Nugget control, they began to improve operations gambling by installing a new cashless slot machine and by increasing the maximum bet available on the game table to $ 15,000. Their story became the basis for The Casino , a television series on Fox that aired on June 14, 2004.
On February 4, 2005, Houston, Landry's, Inc. based in Texas announced its intention to purchase the property and the Golden Nugget Laughlin. The sale closed on September 27, 2005. After purchase, Golden Nugget commenced a 14-month renovation project, $ 100 million, which was completed in November 2006. In December 2007, Golden Nugget completed a Phase II project valued at $ 70 million, extending the resort to head west to First Street and introduce additional entertainment venues, events and eating spots. Phase III was the opening of 500 hotel rooms, a $ 150 million hotel tower on November 20, 2009 along with the Chart House restaurant.

As told in Tom Breitling's book, Double or Nothing , the partners agree to purchase the Golden Nugget and have an agreement to sell the property after operating it for only one year.
