Fun bar in the front of the casino at the Golden Nugget…read more Just inside the main entrance and behind the security of the casino, RUSH Lounge is a great spot to meet for drinks, a cigar or listen to live music before, after or while taking a break from gambling. The spot is small so it always feels like there's a crowd. Drinks are good and service is better. I always drop by during my visit to the casino floor. You should too.

A topper is there is awesome music for you and your honey to swing out, you and your girls to line dance or just dance alone! This can be THE BRUNCH SPOT !! Try it- you will LOVE it ! #bestbites!

Amazing pizza experience. I tried the chicken shawarma pizza at Lux Plates and Pours and it was…read moretruly exceptional. The crust was perfect. The toppings were generous and flavorful. They actually let me choose some extra toppings. And the combination of chicken shawarma, mushrooms, caramelized onions, spinach, jalapenos, special crema and queso fresca was a game changer. The service was also top notch. I would highly recommend this pizza to anyone looking for a unique pizza experience. There's nothing like it in Southwest Louisiana. Not to mention the good vibes. I wish i would've taken a picture, but we ate it up so fast. It's a must if you're in Lake Charles.

There was also plenty of space out front to celebrate together with friends and family, and also play around and ride the bull. Thanks for hosting! I didn't take a picture of the food, but everything was fantastic. Not just saying that. I will be back again soon. Boneless wings were my favorite! Both the buffalo and Asian.

Love Blue Martini! My favorite part is how there is a large inside as well as large outside area…read moreoverlooking the boardwalk! The outside area has TVs as well as an outdoor bar. There is also many lounge areas where you can sit and have conversation, as well as the lower indoor area that plays live music most nights! Depending on the day of the week, the outside bar sometimes is not open so keep that in mind! Overall recommend for grabbing a drink in Golden Nugget! It is always pretty busy when I go so you do have to wait a while for drinks as there is typically only 1 or 2 bartenders working behind the inside bar. Other than that, it is a great spot!

I have been a mystery shopper for many years, for all different types of companies. I have been…read moreproviding reviews for companies, in house for the last 10 years. We are all wanting to know that we are getting the best deal for our money these days and that includes an evening out. Most restaurants are short staffed, scaled back hours and raised prices. We had not eaten at Blue Martini in at least 6 months and I learned they were under a new General Manager, Scott Hudson, and I wanted to share our experience. Those visits made under new management are always your most impressionable. Mine began with an email sent to the General Manager prior to our visit through the Golden Nugget Website. Blue Martini is a little more of a younger crowd. However, the young at heart are there in full force and we were taking a couple out to dinner and drinks that were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. Mr. Hudson called me back in response to my email promptly. We discussed several options that he could do to make the evening eventful for an anniversary surprise and he asked that I text him when we arrived. We were greeted from the moment we arrived. Management was greeting and visiting with every guest table. Natalie, our server, was extremely polite, knowledgeable, and very friendly. She had other tables but never failed to make sure we didn't need anything. Attitude reflects leadership and Scott Hudson clearly has the respect of his staff. He represents the type of general manager that any company would want on board if they truly want positive recognition and feedback from their customers. Our evening: Drinks: Old Fashion, Blue Martini, Corona, and Water Food: Pretzel and Beer Cheese, Buffalo quesadillas, Garlic Parmesan Wings and Beef Tenderloins. Dessert: Blue Martini Management with the help of the Golden Nugget Bakery, arranged for me the most amazing chocolate cake and it included "Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary". It was brought out to our table by Blue Martini's Head Chef and served to us. Live Music: We arrived at 5:30 PM and left before the 8:00PM start time. (Rouge Krewe) During set-up they did sound great. I would ask that Golden Nugget consider booking a Country Band to cover all music genres. It always gives me a bit of hope when a business goes above and beyond the call of duty and provides excellent service. The food was wonderful, from preparation to presentation. However, what truly made the meal unforgettable was the staff...always smiling, helpful and constantly trying to cater to all the guests' individual needs to ensure a totally enjoyable dining experience! Scott Hudson, Blue Martini General Manager and his staff clearly want you to have an experience "Nothing Short of Fantastic". If you are looking for a place for a relaxing evening for dinner, drinks, and a great atmosphere, then Blue Martini could be the place you're looking for. Thank you, Golden Nugget and Blue Martini, for helping me make this couple evening special.

I don't think I've ever seen a place so well ventilated and I live in Houston with plethora of options!!

That coconut rum one I had was delightful. It is a cocktail bar as well with decent prices and good pours !! If you like a good cigar and good rnb, blues zydeco music please give them a try !! Possible some country tracks too !
