We had been to the Golden Nugget buffet for many years thinking that was the best this downtown hotel had to offer. We were wrong.\n\nLeaving our money at Binion's tackino, we entered the GN and searched for a nice sit-down restaurant with a menu.  We found the Chart House, sort of a rose among the thorns. The four of us had four great meals, all first class, while mesmerized by the huge aquarium in the center.  The service was excellent along with the great Fisherman's Platter, lobster, tenderloin, topped with a chocolate lava cake.  My wife ate the cake and I ate the ice cream topping.   We'll skip the buffet every time!
