Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe renovation underway
The resort was purchased in 2023 by Fertitta Entertainment.
US.- Work has started on the renovation of Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe‘s 539-room hotel and 25,000-square-foot casino in Nevada. One of the resort’s two towers is closed as a result.
Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe general manager Jason Sides told a meeting of the Nevada Gaming Control Board that “every square foot of the property” would see some form of renovation. He said the first floor would be ready in October.
The resort was purchased last year by Fertitta Entertainment, the company controlled by Golden Nugget owner Tilman Fertitta. The property covers 24 acres and is one of four hotel-casinos in the South Lake Tahoe market.
