Downtown Gains First New Hotel Tower in 20 Years

LAS VEGAS-The 25-story Rush Tower at Landry's Restaurants' Golden Nugget adds 500 rooms to the Downtown market.

By Brian K. Miller | Updated on November 24, 2009

LAS VEGAS-Landry’s Restaurants Inc. opened the first new hotel tower in Downtown Las Vegas in 20 years over the weekend. The 25-story, 500-room Rush Tower at the Golden Nugget resort is the first tower to open since the Golden Nugget’s Carson Tower opened in 1989. With 2,414 rooms, the Golden Nugget is the largest in Downtown Las Vegas.

The $150-million addition–up from $121 million earlier this year–features a porte-cochere entry at First and Carson streets opening into a lobby surrounded by several retail stores and slot machine banks. The retail is anchored by a 3,000-square-foot Chart House restaurant, which will feature a 75,000-gallon salt water aquarium with exotic fish and a custom fabricated reef system.

Levels two through four of the new tower will be a parking structure with a pool at the second level that will tie into the existing pool’s upper deck, above the live shark aquarium. Levels 5 through 24 hold the guest rooms, which include four penthouses, 70 junior corner suites and standard rooms that are 20% larger than the Nugget’s existing standard rooms. The top level is the owner’s suite.
