The Golden Nugget Las Vegas is the most luxurious resort on the Fremont Street Experience, and consistently receives critical acclaim for exceeding customer expectations. The Golden Nugget now offers more than 2,300 deluxe guest rooms and suites; a high-energy casino featuring the most popular slot and video poker machines, table games, race and sports book, and poker room; nightly entertainment with master impressionist and comedian Gordie Brown; world-class restaurants such as Grotto Italian Ristorante and Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse; a luxury spa and salon; and The Tank, a year-round outdoor swimming pool complete with a 200,000-gallon, live shark aquarium and the new H20 poolside lounge. Since 2005, the Golden Nugget Las Vegas has made more than $300 million in upgrades, renovations and expansions under Landry’s, Inc, introducing first-class accommodations, exquisite dining options and funfilled entertainment venues. In late 2009, the Golden Nugget Las Vegas unveiled its newest addition, Rush Tower. This $150-million hotel tower added nearly 500 new guest rooms and suites to the property, brought Las Vegas its first Chart House Restaurant and introduced a beautiful new pool, The Hideout, as well as expanded the gaming, entertainment and retail options at the luxury resort.

About Southern Nevada Bully Breed Rescue
Southern Nevada Bully Breed Rescue (SNBBR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to saving shelter, stray, and abandoned bully breed dogs. Our goal is to responsibly rescue and re-home these pets while implementing community outreach programs to promote responsible pet ownership and nurture breed ambassadors. SNBBR is the only local rescue organization which operates a facility providing shelter, food, training, and tender loving care to homeless bully breed dogs until the dog finds his or her forever home. The facility and the care of the dogs in the rescue is funded solely by donations. For more information and how you can help Las Vegas’ most needy dogs, visit www.SNBBR.org.
About Las Vegas Boxer Rescue
The non-profit Las Vegas Boxer Rescue, Inc. (LVBR) is based out of Las Vegas. Unlike other animal rescues, LVBR receives, evaluates, and transports abandoned and needy boxers and places them immediately into caring and loving foster family homes. This approach allows foster caregivers an opportunity to learn more about each future companion animal, to determine its behavior and ability to adapt socially, and identify likes, dislikes, and possible illnesses. With a modest donation, deserving boxers are available for adoption, and all revenue generated is used to fund future LVBR rescue, maintenance, and healthcare needs. For more information about fostering, adopting, volunteering, or donations visit www.lvbr.org.

The Poker Throw Down™ (PTD™) is specially developed for poker leagues and teams across the country, yet still encourages individual players to participate. Its fast-paced, fiercely competitive, no-limit Texas hold'em re-buy poker tournament structure plays like a rapid-elimination exhibition, with each team captained by a poker pro, Hollywood or local celebrity, world athlete, or media personality. The PTD™ encourages exciting side action, bounties, and "beats,” plus it offers two prize pools, including a grand prize for the overall individual winner and prizes for top finishers, and trophies and medals for top three teams.
