History
The property was previously known as the Nevada Club.[6] In 1986, the resort underwent a major renovation.[citation needed] In 1988, the Del Webb Corporation sold the Nevada Club to Golden Nugget Inc. for $40 million, and it was renamed as the Golden Nugget Laughlin.[7][8][9] The 300-room hotel was added to the property in 1992, along with a parking garage, new restaurants, and tropical theming, including an indoor rainforest.[10]
In 2004, it was acquired by Poster Financial Group.[11] On May 31, 2005, it was acquired by Landry’s, which was purchasing the Golden Nugget Las Vegas at the same time.[12] Rooms underwent renovation in 2006.[13]
In the years since Landry’s acquired Golden Nugget Las Vegas and Laughlin, three additional Golden Nugget resorts have been developed in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Biloxi, Mississippi and Lake Charles, Louisiana.
