Gaming Classes at The Golden Nugget
Most casinos offer some type of gaming classes, although the Golden Nugget is one of the few that teaches almost every type of gambling skill you can imagine, including blackjack, craps, roulette, pai gow, seven-card stud, let it ride and Texas hold'em. Classes are free and because they're meant to be taken as serious business, many players come alone. Classes are always free and are meant to teach not only the rules of the game, but also strategies, jargon and etiquette. There are classes for beginners who need to understand the basics of the game, and also classes for those who want to perfect their game and learn strategies and skills. Call in advance to find out class times and whether you need to register.
