Please join us and take this special walk down memory lane and enjoy the photo gallery directly below.After a subdued start, Golden Nugget Casino has gone on to become one of the biggest and arguably the most successful online casino brands in New Jersey. They reinvested heavily in their properties, and, it seemed like a new casino was opening every year. It seemed like the streets were paved in gold. The Atlantic City casinos were making money hand over fist. The 1980s was a very special decade in the history of Atlantic City. We can view more than 40-year-old photos for the very first time. I think it is so cool that we can share this experience together. These are photos that most people have never seen. That's what makes the photo gallery below so very special. Sometimes the photos didn't turn out right and you missed that special moment. Think back to 1980, to take a photo you needed a separate camera, you needed a roll of film, you had to get the film developed. The camera is in our pocket at all times. Today, we think nothing about having a photo of any and everything.

This is the closest that I have ever come to opening a time capsule. Special events at The Golden Nugget were special and almost always very profitable. An event would be wrapped around Frank Sinatra, a major boxing fight, the wedding of Vic Damone and Diahann Carroll, who were married at The Golden Nugget in Atlantic City.

Special events were born at The Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. It had to focus on a high-end philosophy. It couldn't operate as a volume grind joint. Forty years ago, there were no real computers to help do the kind of work that Joel Bergman, Henry Conversano (he's pictured below in the photo gallery), and Paul Steelman did in designing and building The Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. They utilized exceptional human talents to build (what was then) the most profitable casino in the history of the world.
