Golden Nugget is a very nice hotel, definitely the best downtown. But, IMO, there is something be said about sleeping on the strip within walking distance of so much more action. Places like Flamingo, Bally's, Imperial Palace, etc, are all reasonable and in much better location.

But, if you stay at Nugget, there is a very convenient bus (like $2) that goes to the strip frequently. It stops at all the major properties and leaves at the end of Freemont Street (across from El Cortez). Basically, leave Golden Nugget and walk straight, past 4 Queens, etc to the end of that sidewalk and you'll see it.
