Here are five new things we thought were worth sharing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. One Bar Coming to Golden Nugget<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The more the merrier when it comes to downtown bars! This new one at the Golden Nugget looks like it&rsquo;ll face the Fremont Street Experience, replacing the previous walk-up bar called, from what we recall, The Bar. Update: We hear One Bar won&rsquo;t be the ultimate name of this new bar, because the Golden Nugget was informed there&rsquo;s already one with that name at Golden Gate. Still, bar. And new.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_584\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-584\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/one_bar_golden_nugget.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-584 \" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"One Bar.

Rush Lounge Renovation at Golden Nugget<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We love us a good construction wall! This one says the hotel&rsquo;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldennugget.com\/lasvegas\/drink_rushlounge.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rush Lounge<\/a> is getting a makeover.

New Entrance at Golden Gate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of our favorite downtown casinos is getting a new entrance. Technically, you could also use it as an exit, but why in the world would you want to do that?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_588\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-588\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/golden_gate_entrance.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-588 \" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"More ways to get into the city's oldest hotel?
