Golden Nugget Rush Tower Check-in?

[Wes Ralls]

I have a reservation for a couple of nights in the Rush Tower at the Golden Nugget. Do they still have a dedicated check-in area, or do I need to go to the normal check-in spot for the Gold and Carson Tower guests?
I also read that they have a coffee/fruit bar for that tower, so I was wondering if that was still a thing? I'm guessing "no" since most casinos reduce service offerings as much as possible but thought I would ask those with real-world experience.

They have a check-in area, but it is seldom open.
I don't remember seeing a coffee bar.
The regular check-in area is now a bunch of self-serve kiosks and maybe one snail behind the desk.
Enjoy.

Also beware - we were downtown last weekend and my friends stayed at GN and used the check in kiosks bc there was no one at the desk. They checked in at 2:15 and were assigned rooms. At checkout, they were charged $25 for early check in. Apparently it is called out in the fine print on the kiosks, but I was standing next to them and it definitely wasn’t a pop up or anything obvious.

And these places wonder why Vegas is losing visitors…

Save more money by not having any staff at the check-in area.

Make even more money by tacking on pure-profit junk fees that are only possible through kiosk screen sleight-of-hand/trickery.

It’s the perfect scam!

Don't call out Flamingo like that

Not like they charge people more for early check in, than the actual room they booked is billed for...oh, and they also have a super reasonable resort fee...

Room: 19
Bill with early check in: 190

Well done!

Regarding the coffee/fruit bar, are you referring to the 'VIP' room opposite Vic and Anthony's perhaps?

Regarding the early check in fee, I also was surprised to see that fee, but called the next day and they reversed the charges

The only places with fruit & coffee I know of is a Starbucks one is across the street from Rush tower towards the Carson tower (past the GN self-parking garage). The other is past the sportsbook to the left off Fremont St. The Rush tower check in I've only seen open past few years on Fri & Sat later in the day. Kiosk ask if you want early check in, it's cheaper to prepay for early check in. They normally do charge for check-in before 4pm.
