Golden Nugget Race and Sports Book Review
The Golden Nugget's race and sports book is a superb example of a wagering establishment. It's a study in design and technology.
Decorated in fine dark woods and sports-related art on the walls, it's very attractive and inviting. With a number of leather circular booths and couches, it has a clubby, living room-like feel.
It also has a fantastic display of plasma screens and electronic billboards stretching across its walls. On the right hand wall, there are banks of individual 60" televisions with grouped screens simulating giant screen displays. It's impressive.
The book offers a full range of sports event betting opportunities. There are 45 single screen carrels for serious watching and betting. An ATM is located nearby.
Good grub is at hand in the Golden Nugget's race and sports book. The Grille is located within the book itself and serves up burgers, sandwiches and other finger food.
