Steve Wynn bought a stake in it, which he increased so that, in 1973, he became the majority shareholder, and the youngest casino owner in Las Vegas. It was the foundation for Wynn's rise to prominence in the casino industry.

History

The Golden Nugget was originally built in 1946, making it one of the oldest casinos in the city.

Was owned by the Golden Nugget Companies.

The world's largest gold nugget on display, the Hand of Faith, is displayed in the Golden Nugget lobby. Weighing 27.2 kilograms and 46 centimeters in length, the Hand of Faith was found near the Golden Triangle in Australia, and put on display at the casino in 1981 amid a number of other gold nuggets.

Became a Mirage Resorts property in 1989 when the Golden Nugget companies became Mirage Resorts.

Sold to Poster Financial Group in 2004.

When Poster Financial assumed control of the Golden Nugget, they began to upgrade the gambling operation, for example by installing new cashless slot machines and by increasing the maximum bet available at table games to $15,000. Their story became the basis for The Casino, a television series on Fox that premiered on June 14, 2004.

On February 4, 2005, Houston, Texas based Landry's Restaurants, Inc. announced its intent to purchase the Golden Nugget Las Vegas. The sale closed on September 27, 2005.
