The Golden Nugget opened a new, 25-story, $150 million hotel tower on November 20. The new Rush Tower features its own porte-cochere and includes four penthouse suites, 70 junior corner suites, larger standard rooms, a new 200-seat Chart House restaurant, new retail shops and casino space. The expansion added nearly 100 jobs to the hotel’s employment roster.

The first new hotel tower to open downtown since former Golden Nugget owner, Steve Wynn, built the hotel’s South Tower in 1989, the new tower brings the hotel’s total room count to 2,417, easily making it the largest hotel in downtown Las Vegas. 

“The redevelopment of downtown Las Vegas is continuing to move ahead with beautiful projects like the Frank Gehry-designed Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, The Smith Center for the Performing Arts and the new Rush Tower at the Golden Nugget,” Mayor Oscar B. Goodman said. “I was at the Rush Tower for the opening and it is fantastic and equal to anything on the Strip.”
