Would it feel a little less unseemly if Golden Nugget made a mention of which nuggets are replicas in their various display cases? Yes.Īre we going to keep answering our own questions? Yes.Īre we going to keep doing it, anyway? Apparently not.Located on Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas, the upper-middle-range, 2,419 Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino is an off-the-Strip alternative for travelers seeking a different side of Sin City. Will the average visitor know their selfie with the world’s biggest gold nugget is actually with a look-alike? No. As of December 2015, the real nugget remains in Biloxi.)Īpparently, this whole loaning-out process is a pretty common occurrence, as the same thing happened when a Golden Nugget opened in Atlantic City in 2012. For example, a Golden Nugget rep in Las Vegas confirmed the nugget was loaned to the Biloxi location on and will be returned to Las Vegas at the end of the summer. The Golden Nugget seems more than happy to confirm the locations of the replicas when asked. It turns out Golden Nugget Las Vegas has loaned the original Hand of Faith to Golden Nugget Biloxi. We scoffed, of course, because we know everything! Except when we don’t. This Las Vegas blog’s eagle-eyed reader Adam Mace mentioned, “At the moment it appears the Hand of Faith is on display at the Golden Nugget casino in Biloxi Mississippi, not across the way from the Gold to Go ATM as this article suggests.” When we wrote recently about the hotel’s Gold ATM, we mentioned it was located near the Hand of Faith display. Until recently, the one-and-only real Hand of Faith gold nugget was at its true home, Golden Nugget Las Vegas. The real deal, where it belongs, in Las Vegas.

Specifically, some of the gold nuggets (one in Laughlin, Nevada and another in Atlantic City) are replicas. For some time now, it’s been a fairly well-known fact that various Golden Nugget casinos around the country have the world’s largest gold nugget on display.
