The pool is for paying guests only. It is always packed with guests so you have to get there early to get a spot They do not allow non-guests to use the pool.Is the Golden nugget pool open to the public and does it coast money?
I think it's only for hotel guests unless you get a cabana, but the cabanas are really nice and the least expensive in the city, around $150 or so for the day.
