Gold Diggers is a darkly lit, pulpy, atmospheric bar that offers a stoic, burly bartender and a bottle list that you would find at any old gamy drinking hole. The best part of Gold Diggers is the perch outside, that hangs over the luminescent, sticky Fremont Street.
Plunk some rocks in your whiskey, shuffle to the balcony, and watch the denizens of loafers, bums, and wacky tourists crack into one another like a malfunctioning bumper car game. It's like the screensaver that keeps giving.
The demographic at Gold Digger ranges from middle-aged woman to liquored up middle-aged woman. So if you're a dude in your twenties, straighten that collar, you salacious weirdo.
While not the most exciting bar, if you're perusing Fremont for something to do, there's no reason not to stop at Gold Diggers, especially with that delinquent view.
Never, Ever have I been told that you cannot have a glass of ice water at any restaurant or bar in Las Vegas, Nevada. Â The temperatures in Las Vegas, Nevada in the Summer time can reach well into 115 degrees. Â How can a place of business refuse a patron a cup of Ice water and insist that if you want water you must purchase a bottle of water? (Gold Diggers) the name does fit them well. They do not aim to serve their patrons at least this was how I was treated on the evening of 6-21-2013. My advice and recommendation as a native in Las Vegas, Nevada BEWARE!!!! Â To all tourists or patrons this place of business only wants your money anyway they can get it!!!! Â You might be left lying on the floor of this business with severe dehydration and they would not care. I will be on a mission to see how serving WATER to a patron at a bar or club in Las Vegas CANNOT be refused.
Review Source:Nice bar with a small dance floor area and a balcony outside where you can look down upon Fremont St. Great place to watch the live bands on Fremont, people watch or take photos of the Fremont St Experience down below. Cover was $10 for men on the night I went and drinks were a little pricey for Fremont bars. I would recommend it as a place to start off or finish your night, but not as a place you would have multiple rounds
Review Source:We came in about 2am and the party was still going strong, saw a couple trying to tootsie roll, I couldn't tell but was fun watching people get their grind on.
Sure it was a little ghetto and a part of me felt at home, don't judge this was just enough ghetto to make you feel gritty not dirty. The music was some old school hip hop mixed in with newer. I'm not a club person but had a good time before last call, big booty girls dancing too!
So you'll walk by this place, which is in the far western corner of the Gold Nugget, looking diagonally across the square at the big LCD sign of the animated strippers taking their tops off. Â It seems like a happening place, all fancy and whatnot with a VIP-style elevator, and there might even be a line to get in. Â You might even be tempted to pay the cover.
Don't.
If they don't comp the entry, skip it. If they do and you don't like the music or the scene, walk out. The drinks here are ridiculously expensive, the music is meh, and the only thing they really have going for them is the balcony. Â For $16 I expected more than two thin fingers of scotch in a plastic cup, and an empty dance floor with a few hookers lurking in the back corners.
I'd overheard some waitresses recommending this place to someone after 1:00 or so, but whatever they were referring to was definitely not on the menu when I was there. Â Avoid, avoid, avoid.
As there are not many choices for "clubs" Downtown, this may be the best.
Location and view are great (overlooks the canopy on Fremont Street), the music is awesome and the crowd is non-douchey. It's a small outdoor blacony, and the bar area is good-sized. Nice place to take out-of-town visitors to watch the antics of the Fremont Street crowd!
We were shooting Love in the Big City 3 in Las Vegas and we had our wrap party here. Fun place. They took very good care of us here and there were a lot of us. A bonus was the balcony area that overlooked the stage on Fremont Street where a Led Zepplin cover band was playing and they were pretty good. To be able to watch and hear without dealing with the crowd was pretty cool. The waitresses were attentive and the management were nice. All in all, lots of fun.
Review Source:I'm not even sure where to start about this place. I've heard mixed reviews from people my age (mid to late 20's). While cruising Fremont Street, we had several guys give us cards. The cards were or free admission or BOGO drinks. We figured that since it was free all around, it wouldn't hurt to go in. As soon as the elevator doors opened, I knew this was going to be fun.
I headed straight for the bar and got a couple of drinks and headed outside. The balcony outside is small, has music playing and you can look down over Fremont. I turned around and headed straight to the back across from the dj booth. We found some bar stools between the "VIP" and a table so we made ourselves comfortable. The VIP was a sofa, chair and table with the classic velvet rope around it. It housed a group of middle aged couples who looked like they were having the time of their lives. There was a range of people on the dance floor. By range I mean people in there 20's (only a small handful) to a couple that appeared to be in their 60's or older. The elastic waistband pants and Velcro shoes gave it away. People were dressed in anything from shorts and t's to sexy Vegas attire.
As the night went on, the drinks got a little stronger, the music was great and people started piling in. I shared dances with guys old enough to be my dad to the lesbian bachelorette party that was seated beside us. We met locals and partied with some marines from out of town. I have to admit that this is one of the most fun places I have been to. I've frequented my choice of clubs in Vegas and while this doesn't compare to Tao or Pure, this is worth a visit. If possible try to walk around outside for the free admission cards. I did have several drinks so that could have been a reason for how much fun we had. After 4+ hours of dancing and drinking, we headed out to jack in the box where we watched our homemade movies of the dancing and dance offs from gold diggers.
If you are laid back and looking to have a couple of drinks, dance to some decent music and people watch, definitely give this place a try. Don't expect much and you will have a great time.
Cool night club on Freemont Street in Downtown Vegas. Â It's part of the Golden Nugget and the outdoor balcony overlooks Freemont Street.
From Thursday-Sunday, the club is open till' late night, spinning a cool mix of the latest Pop, Hip-Hop, as well some really good Club Music. On top of that, they get into sets of the old-school Rap and Hip-Hop too.. I would reccomend this club for the 30+ crowd. Â
The bartenders are nice and they make the drinks strong.
The view outside is great. Â You can see all the way down Freemont and enjoy the Freemont Street Experience (the show) while enjoying the club.
Who bitched about this place??
I was walking downtown Fremont, and all of a sudden these guys approached me and gave me free tickets with buy one drink get 2nd cocktail drink free...I didn't know what kind of music the club was playing. Â After a walk around downtown, I decided what the heck...it's free why not?
To my surprise, it turned out to be a great night, the music was great and I danced all night. Â The enitre night cost me $17.00 ( for a total of 4 drinks)and I got F%$^#'ed up!!
The only issue was that, they played the music outoors, so it was warm...The room inside played hip-hop. Â Not a pretty sight with them mamas dancing, humping and freaking men...eweeee!!! Â Thanks DJ Neko!!! Â Music was off the hook!!!
I can't pretend to be a club expert since I'm 42 and rarely go out and shake my money maker, but I've been to a few clubs in my day and this one lands squarely on MEH. Â First off, it's downtown at the Golden Nugget. Â This means you'll be out with the freaks that like their Vegas with a hint of ghetto mixed in. Â The folks that populate this place do so because they were given a card on Fremont that says they get in free and get 2 for 1 drinks. Â So don't expect to go here and see "the pretty people"...hell I was there, so that should tell ya something. Â
But the same things that work against this place also provide some perks. Â It's downtown, so nobody is there. Â It's not going to be terribly crowded and you won't need to know the roidhead at the door to get in. Â Since it's not slam packed, you can actually find room on the dance floor instead of squeezing in and getting side ass freaked all night by some humanoid at a crowded club. Â They also have a patio bar outside that overlooks Fremont St. which is pretty great for people/freak watching.
Just don't go there expecting a lot and embrace it for the dive dance club that it is and you'll have a good time.
I stayed at the Golden Nugget Hotel for the 1st time and i am no fan of old town Vegas. However, I must say that this club was so fun. I loved the music that they played . It was music from the mid 90's to now. The crowd was a mix of late 20's to 50's  and despite the age gap everyone was dancing and just having a great time! A very good fun vibe for all ages, especially if your not up to going to the Vegas strip clubs. The night before i went to 1OAK in the Mirage Hotel and i had just as much fun at this place as i did the night before at 1OAK. Drinks are still pricey but in the end it was a lot of fun for my husband and I. Since we are married  we weren't looking to hook up obviously, maybe if I was single i would care more of what was in the crowd, but i am not :) so had a blast at this club to my surprise!!
Review Source:This is more of a low end night club, more on the casual side. You will see some tourists there and meet some interesting and not so interesting people but as a girl, you might also get a little harassed by random guys. If you enjoy it, then this is the place to go, otherwise its just Ok.
Drinks are almost as expensive as on the strip, well-drinks were around $11 and imported beer was $6. Music wasn't so much my type, but I was in good company and still enjoyed myself and had a good time.
Jesus H., probably the asshole of Las Vegas. Okay, let me take that back. I was sober when I walked in here. If I was drunk, then I think my review would be different.
First off, let's face it; it's Downtown LV, so the crowd here is a little different. My friend and I paid $10 to get in. There are stripper poles above the bar that were being manned by some drunken forty year old chicks that were dressed like they were twenty-one. There's a cool balcony where you can see all the crazies down below. The dance floor is small but manageable. There are little booths on the side that look like they can be reserved, as well as tables that are free for everyone.
If you are drunk and looking for "easy pickings" then this is your place.
The Gold Diggers is such a Flash Back to the 70's.
The people going here are awesome to get your people watching working overtime.
The gold is flashing, the headbands are on, the Abba is blasting and Old School Vegas is bringing in a younger crowd and giving Downtown a whole different vibe.
The Gold Diggers is located in the Golden Nugget which people forget was once owned by Steve Wynn and will still trump a large majority of Casinos on the strip.
If you are in the area come and check it out, you will not be disappointed.
It's not fancy, it's not ever that crowded, it's not even made of gold. One thing about Golden Nugget's transformation over the years is their quest of becoming the toast of the downtown scene, something they've done rather quite well. Gold Digger's is an example of their image revamp from one of Vegas' most classic hotels to one of the premier hotel resorts in the area. It's a solid place to get the night kickin and a fairly non-pretentious venue just north of the strip.
I once confused this place as an adult venue, expecting a different kind of dancing. But this is a happenin place on the weekend, though albeit a tad touristy, typically featuring an older crowd that are trying to get their dance on. They don't usually discriminate too often, hence the crowd is usually fairly diverse. The place is bigger than it looks and is reasonably clean, which is a plus for any club in Vegas.
The music is usually a DJ spun fiasco, composed of hip hop and top 40 hits. If people aren't drinking, they're usually dancing at Gold Diggers. Even though it's open late, their busiest times are usually toward the beginning of the night. The drinks pack their own punch due to a good pour from the bartenders, but feel spendy in this part of town.
And usually the bartenders do a stand up job at keeping the crowd at bay from going over board. The staff is an attractive bunch of young folks trying to make it happen in the city of sin, without engaging in the annoying 'tude that is usually prevalent in LV nightlife. As for actual gold diggers, it seems they're out and about on the streets , than they are stirring trouble up in this joint.
Balcony looking over freemont, loose women, Â strong drinks, Â Rotating DJs spin top 40 hits Dance, Dance, Dance the night away! Â
Stopped here a few times  with the Hubby!  "Good times"
I lol at the name because my husbands ex-wife is convinced I am a gold digger, naw not me, I just love my men like my wine aged and matured with developed flavor. Â Apparently I am worth 24 mill, 7 cars, and a versace china set. Â Â By the way you're still young, single, beautiful and loaded you should travel more and yelp about it.
A good spot for a low key night of getting your groove on. Yes, you may encounter a motley crew of tourists from the Hawaiian shirted to the badged convention goer, but the cover is cheap and the music is pretty straight forward. What you won't find is a gaggle of mini-dresses and Affliction button ups. You also won't find an overly complicated dance mix here, and it is quite easy to jaunt up the stairs and ask the DJ to play "Nasty Girl". I know because that is what I did. The dance floor is not huge, and it is pretty easy to get a table without  bottle service if you arrive at a decent hour. If the patio is open, it provides a fun view of the bedazzling spectacle of Fremont Street. I would return for a second round.
Review Source:Didn't even know there was a nice lounge like this Downtown, but while we were admiring the light show, looking up, we noticed it. We stopped in for a few drinks and the servers were beautiful and really nice.
The atmosphere is modern and clean. The balcony overlooks the Downtown strip and you can watch the light show and the bands playing from there - its the perfect view! So, grab a drink (or more) and enjoy the show!
This is a small bar and nightclub on the Fremont Street Experience. It is located upstairs in the Golden Nugget. I came here with a friend on a First Friday night. There was no wait in line or cover charge to get in. All of the tables on the outdoor patio are roped off VIP areas. It never used to be this way. This doesn't allow anybody else to stand at the edge of the patio and enjoy the view of Fremont Street below.
The bar didn't appear to have any craft beer, nor any beers on tap. The indoor portion is an uninteresting, narrow dance floor that extends back, with no windows to the outside. It is your typical nightclub genre of dancing, where girls are primarily dancing with each other. It didn't look like anybody dancing was really having that much fun. This place is pathetic. The best part of the Fremont Street Experience is wandering around, not trapping yourself in this worthless hole-in-the-wall upstairs.
This place plays music from 80's, 90's, to current music being played at your closest radio near you! =P
the place is a little pricey on the drinks.. i paid $8 for a freakin screw driver, which tasted like , i got screwed over for paying $8 too much BTW.. i probably could've gotten a drink downstairs from cocktail, while i place my $5 bet in a machine and drink for $1.. i'm just sayin..
But I had a great time , that's because I was with a group of great people. My advice, do not come here, if you're looking to have some fun on your own, best to come in a herd!!
I find this place quite interesting since it's not the typical, bousie club/lounge you would find on the strip. And interesting I enjoy; bousie not so much.
Gold Diggers is somewhat hidden at the Gold Nugget. You have to go up the stairs to find it. First off, the times I've been to Gold Diggers, the bouncers AREN'T dicks or are minimal dicks and appear to lack egos. This is few and rare in the Valley. Second, this is the most diverse crowd you will get a chance to interact with. The people that come here can be bousie (not as much as on the strip though), can be very modest, come from all different cultural backgrounds as well as different shapes/ages/sexual orientation etc.! I think this is awesome considering I'm all for diversity :). Third, what makes this place even more interesting is the music they play. Music is from a wide range of decades and genres that include the 70's and even country.
I like Gold diggers because drinks are cheap compared to other places, (I believe I paid 6-8 bucks for a jack and coke), the bartenders and cocktail servers are pretty yet have minimal/lack pretentiousness, the bathroom design and interior is pretty impressive for this kind of place and the patio overlooking freemont st. is pretty cool.
It's too bad that there aren't many places like this in Vegas...
I like to get my groove on and this is a great place to do that without having to get too dolled up.
The age group here is a little older than your typical Las Vegas club and the music definitely shows it, but that's the fun of this place. There are music classic  from the 70's 80's and even current music. I love that.
It's a more casual alternative. I can last longer on the dance floor when I'm wear flats or even sneakers. Yay!
Love it when I'm Downtown.
I like clubs. I like clubs even more when they aren't Mega.
I like clubs that I can wear sneakers in.
I like downtown.
I like the Golden Nugget.
This all adds up to a winning formula.
Seriously, this isn't one of the big fancy club for the kids, it's more of an adult scene that is fun, cheap and not so pretentious.
Hanging out on the patio overlooking Fremont is cool. As cheesy as downtown is, this place is a blast.
Stayed at the Golden Nugget for a friend's b-day celebration and we wanted a really low key night, so Gold Diggers was suggested because, one: it's in the hotel we were staying in, and two: it's cheap and not pretentious.
I like the look of the place, modern, fairly small, but everything is new and shiny. There is a patio overlooking Fremont St, a bar, and a dance floor. Lots of places to sit, which is good. (as we all know, a lot of places make you pay VIP to sit, but not Gold Diggers. Yay!)
There was such a mix of people there, it's hard to describe. Middle aged business men getting their groove on while away from the wifey, Young girls in groups just wanting to dance and not be bothered by dudes, Couples in love slow dancing to fast songs...The clientele is a lot more...diverse that it is on the strip, with all kinds of people, which kind of made it interesting...not all the cookie cutter types. (but if you are looking for glamour puss girls or metro guys, this is probably not your scene. No bouncer at the front picking and choosing who he wants to let in, which is awesome.)
The DJ spun a mix of 70's, 80's, 90's and Top 40. He changed the songs a little too soon for my taste, (Only got about 30 seconds of a song) but I guess everyone has ADD so that's how it has to be., lol...
I would come here again if I wanted to dance and not worry about getting all swankified for the Strip. Very chill place to mingle and get your groove on.
Lol, Gold Diggerz...
Well it should be spelled with a "z", it was pretty cheesy. I was with a group of people and we needed a quick drinky and dancy to end the night. Diggerz was right there so we said WTH.
Aside from the patio with its fun view of Fremont street, this place is a typical cheesy bar/club. Service is good, but the crowd and music is um... dated, to be kind. I like pop music, but only if its fresh. When I hear something 70s or 80s come on though, forget about it. Totally lose my mojo with that. Think "Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day" sorta limp.
Then the older crowd walks in, and I learn where they get their name. Theres a queue of real-deal gold-diggers lined up at the door waiting to get some big spender to spend on them. Seriously? At least they are obvious about it. I can't imagine what guys go through at Caeser's or Luxor - where the real money is.
Anyway, you get what you pay for and I paid nothing on my night at Diggerz. Cheers!
Read in a local mag that this bar/small club had a Latin music night on Thursdays, and I'm always down for getting my salsa on. Â Made it to the base of the stairs of this establishment at around 11pm, however, and I didn't here the rhythmic spiciness of Latin music, but, .....
"...All my exes, live in Texas, and that's why I live in Tennessee."
Yup, the NFR (National Finals Rodeo) took over Latin Night. Â It was alright though. Â the crowd was chill and fun. Â My friend's a little country, so he was able to do some two-steppin' with a buckle bunny. Â I watched them and people watched. Â After a while, the music flipped to some R&B/hip hop. Â Man, I saw a skinny a$$ cowboy with huge 10-gallon cowboy hat do some two-steppin craziness to "Promiscuous Girl". Â Funny as hell.
The balcony overlooking Fremont was interesting. Â People had some mardi gras beads and were throwing them at passersby (in hopes of inducing the proper act, if you know what I mean).
Guess I'll try Latin Night next time.
Good fun over here! Â Â Free admission to top it off! =) Â
The atmosphere is 'relaxed' with a electric group of people who are  just simply here to get their 'buzz' on. Â
Try to work you way out to patio and chill on the outside balcony and overlook the craziness that happens on Fremont St. Â Â Â You might even be in time, at the top of the hour, to catch the light show up above. Â
*** What I love about this place is that the DJ's spin DVD videos - NOT records or CD's. Â Â So there is a bunch of LCD TV's all around the bar that display the artists' videos that is syncronized with the music you hear bumping on their sound system. Â Â It's alot more fun to see the video when the music is bumping - you feel like you are part of the video. Â gets you really in the mood to party! Â Â Â
   Hey, I'm dancing w/ Janet Jackson at one moment and then Mariah Carey the next.    Sweet!
I love downtown Las Vegas, and when i am not at the glitter gulch getting my $1 motorboats or shooting the craps at the plaza then i am lounging at Gold Diggers at the World Famous Golden Nuggett. Gold Diggers is like your local hometown pub with an awesome balcony view of Fremont coupled with a modern style bar with LCD flat screens. Best part is there is no cover!
I prefer the local scene a hell of a lot better than the touristy strip, theres nothing fun about traveling 4 hours from LA to party in vegas with a bunch of folks from LA and paying more money then you would have just staying in LA..... seriously haha.
In general, downtown Las Vegas sucks. The strip is great, but the fremont experience just isn't that cool.
However there is 1 hotel which isn't a complete dump, and that is the golden nugget. So naturally the night club is pretty decent as well.
Gold Diggers doesn't offer up the same swank/attractions of clubs on teh strip like tryst or tao, but for downtown it's great. They make mean drinks, and the dancers are smokin hot. And how can you not love the fact there is an outside patio overlooking fremont.
I don't frequent Fremont Street much, so imagine my surprise when I heard the music booming from Gold Diggers at the Golden Nugget. Â I've been meaning to check out the hotel with their new upgrades and shark tank by the pool. Â (It's pretty cool, I'd be interested in going down the slide and seeing sharks swim by me!)
First off, Gold Diggers overlooks Fremont Street so you get a fabulous spot for people watching. Â I was skeptical since I was in sneakers and didn't want to pay a cover just to check it out. Â I guess it was slow that Saturday night because we walked right on in. Â (I think they usually have a dress code and probably charge.) Â Walking to the back, you'll pass the bar with go-go dancers shaking their thing behind the bar. Â The dance floor is along the back, along with some sectioned off areas. Â
If you walk to the front that faces Fremont Street, you'll see an open air patio that provides a nice relief when it gets too hot in there. Â And there's a lounge area you can kick back at too.
The cool thing is that they play music videos - old school music videos that go along with the music they are playing! Â How cool is that?! Â They need more TVs or projectors so everyone can see these videos make an appearance.
And yes, the clientele is definitely 'different,' I would say they are the downtown-type.  This can be a good or bad thing, depending on what you're expecting.  For that night, it worked and provided us an entertaining evening.  I had plenty of room to dance my butt off  without bumping into people left and right.  Everyone was super-friendly and was just there to have a good time, not the pretentious type at all.  Our guy friend was dancing his butt off and he was giving such a good show that everyone wanted to dance with him!  Some guys even gave him money to buy himself a drink 'cuz he was entertaining them. Â
I wasn't too impressed with how the go-go dancers make money here though. Â People roll up their bills and throw it on the stage. Â So you can image how degrading it looks when the girl finishes her shift and is crawling on the floor looking for her rolled up dollar bills. Â (What happened to a tip jar?)
Gold Diggers just opened on the second floor of the Golden Nugget in the Fremont Street Experience.
The bar and club is one long room that goes from dance floor to bar, to lounge area, and then out into an open air area overlooking Fremont street.
The bar area has a dance stage featuring "go-go" dancers. The club provides bottle service, a variety of specialty cocktails and beer.
The dance floor has a stage large enough for live music, the night we were there a  DJ was providing the music for the evening.
This bar and club is a very nice concept and it looks as if The Nugget is doing it's best to compete with the club offerings found on the strip.
The club stays open till 2A M most evenings and 4 A M Â on weekends.
A welcome addition to the Fremont experience.
Looks to be a great time .........
once the word gets out about this club.
