However, I was ok with it since I understand maybe the roll up squid isn’t as readily available in Lake Charles. The chilli peppered fried calarmari (Muc Rang Muol) was amazing! They did serve with squid rings, which is more westernized, coz normally, the squid should be in roll-up shape. I don’t expect super much for a restaurant at a casino but I would prefer a little more more meat, especially they charge $14 USD. But they could have provided more beef instead of just a few slices of beef. The beef pho is ok, not the greatest, but the broth is decently flavourful. I ordered a Vietnamese beef pho (broth noodles) and a plate of chilli peppers fried squid. The server was courteous and very attentive. Anyhow, my drink was good but I had better old fashioned elsewhere.Īfter the drink, it was like 12:30 am, in the wee hours, so I opted for Lillie’s Asian Cuisine for some comfort food. I don’ t know if Louisiana likes to use orange slice, coz I got an orange slice for my old fashioned, but back home (Toronto, Canada), they like to peel an orange skin, squeeze it a bit and then slice around the rim before putting it into the drink. I chose the bar section so I can talk to the bartenders and check out the scene.īartenders were very courteous and provided great service. I decided to check out the Ice Bar, the decor was white and crystal, a bit like what the name implies, “ Ice Bar“, there were white sofa sections and the bar with high stool section. Different cuisine to serve your taste buds, from Asian food to Italian food to steakhouse to seafood house to Mexican food, you name it, they probably have it. In the hotel, there were tons of restaurants and bars. There was a casino with slot machines and other poker tables. Is it anything unique? Not really, it looks like any typical luxurious hotels you can find in Vegas. I was staying at L’Auberge (which is located just next door), but since they have a FREE trolley that will go back and forth in between both hotels, I thought I would make a trip to check out the amenities at Golden Nugget.įirst impression of the Golden Nugget? It’s chic, luxurious, very modern and clean.

NOTE: I didn’t book a room here at the Golden Nugget in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
