This world-class resort casino is family-owned and operated. The son of Basque immigrants, John Ascuaga built the Nugget from a roadside coffee shop that opened in 1955. His touch is noticeable in details large and small, such as hand-picked friendly staff, welcoming ambience and a reception desk separate from the casino area.
And check out our separate listing on this site for The Courtyard at John Ascuagas Nugget!
John Ascuaga's Nugget offers a full array of casino entertainment, nine restaurants, four live music venues including the incomparable Celebrity Showroom. The two 29-story hotel towers include a variety of room accommodations from deluxe king and queen rooms to an assortment of suites.

John Ascuaga's Nugget Hotel has 1,382 oversize luxury guest rooms in two 29-story towers. The newly-renovated East Tower features gorgeous new rooms with a comfortably sophisticated palate of warm tones, dark woods and crystal accents. They include heavenly presidential mattresses with upscale bedding and extra fluffy pillows. A 42" flat screen television adorns the wall in the main living area and high-speed WiFi is available.

The traditionally-furnished west tower offers extra large rooms with comfortable sitting areas including couches in the standard king room, cozy bedding and spacious bathrooms. Many suite upgrade options are available. Both towers offer sweeping views of the incomparable Reno skyline and spectacular Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Wedneday nite happy hour - Live Jazz was great! Many locals attended only problem was that it lasted less than 90 minutes. Place was packed during the performance. When it ended everbody left. Why would you stop Jazz music after two hours with a full house? At least continue with a DJ and keep your hotel guests at the bar.

Geno Nov 9, 2009
Front desk service was terrible. It took me an hour to check in because the clerk had no idea how to handle [...] reservation ... which included upgrades. Three time during my stay the cold water went completely off, once during my shower and I was almost seriously scalded. When I requested to speak to the hotel manger on duty about this dangerous plumbing malfunction (what if it was a child taking a shower?) no manager returned my call, and this was the second occurrence! Remodled room was very spacious but noisy becasue it faced the freeway, in fact many rooms face the freeway. Pool was very nice (great for families) and every meal we had was fantastic.

Grandma Susie Oct 19, 2009
The best service was at the Starbucks and the Rotessiore Buffet. Upon on arrival they had use registered for 4 nights ... instead of 2 they put us in a non smoking room when smoking was requested. My grandaughter and her spouse got a different room at that time. They didn't run their games as they should have. My grandson is a dealer in Las Vegas and also a player. His experience was all but a good one and refuses to return. My grandaughter is 23 and looks 12 she always keeps her i.d. with her because of this. Once approached and presented her i.d. they continued to harass her and her spouse at the pool. She even offered to go to her room to get her passport. The over all experience was undesirable.

Our stay was very brief, but quite enjoyable. We had a terrific pizza in one of the hotels many places to eat, but just ... weren't there long enough to try out the pool or spa or other amenities. We really appreciated the floor plan of the casino area. Somehow being spread out like that made one feel more privacy when playing the slots, and you don't have to smell whatever the guy next to you is smoking or drinking (:

NICE ROOMS, BUT
Babz Sep 18, 2009
Rooms are clean and nice, but no in-room amenities like coffee maker, microwave or fridge. You have to buy every morsel of ... food, and it will cost you $2.50 for a bottle of water, no water fountains that I saw. Buffet is $16+. Noisy factor comes from thin walls and room doors that everyone seems to slam all night long. Had non-smoking floor but smelled smoke in halls often. Had bad experience in one restaurant with soup that made both of us physically ill, but otherwise food was very good to excellent. Don't think our issue was the norm. PLUSES - lots of penny slots, variety of restaurants in-house, got room cheap online, located right off 80 for easy access, free parking abounds. Beds very comfy, but in room TV a bit difficult to use and renting movies cost approx $14. No deal there. another plus, most of the staff was very friendly and helpful. Loved waitress [...] and bell boy {?} [...] from PA.
