History

The porte cochere at the front of the property

The property was previously known as the Nevada Club.^[6] In 1986, the resort underwent a major renovation.^{[citation needed]} In 1988, the Del Webb Corporation sold the Nevada Club to Golden Nugget Inc. for $40 million, and it was renamed as the Golden Nugget Laughlin.^[7][8][9] The 300-room hotel was added to the property in 1992, along with a parking garage, new restaurants, and tropical theming, including an indoor rainforest.^[10]

In 2004, it was acquired by Poster Financial Group.^[11] On May 31, 2005, it was acquired by Landry’s, which was purchasing the Golden Nugget Las Vegas at the same time.^[12] Rooms underwent renovation in 2006.^[13]

In the years since Landry’s acquired Golden Nugget Las Vegas and Laughlin, three additional Golden Nugget resorts have been developed in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Biloxi, Mississippi and Lake Charles, Louisiana.
