Cool Casino of the Month: Golden Nugget Las Vegas

Cool-Casino-of-the-Month_2
Spinning at High 5 Casino or Shake the Sky Casino is plenty of fun, but sometimes you’ve got to get out and head to a real casino. Every month we’ll be highlighting a different land-based casino that you should visit if you’re ever in the area or ready for a trip.

Q: What’s the largest luxury hotel and casino in downtown Las Vegas? A: The Golden Nugget Las Vegas, which is February’s Cool Casino of the Month!

It’s easy to make terrible decisions in Las Vegas, but one choice you won’t regret making is staying at the Golden Nugget Las Vegas. The Golden Nugget has been open since 1946, and currently features hundreds of slots – including plenty from High 5 Games – and dozens of table games spread out over 38,000 square feet. When you’re tired of gambling you can head back to one of the Golden Nugget’s 2,419 rooms and suites, which are spread out over four towers, and take a quick nap. Shoppers can indulge at one of the Golden Nugget’s exclusive stores, and those who like to be pampered can be spoiled with spa and salon services. If you’re more interested in partying, then check out The Tank – a heated year-round pool complete with a shark tank, three-story waterslide, and private cabanas – and the Golden Nugget’s variety of bars and lounges. Of course, no matter what type of person you are you’re going to have to eat eventually, and that’s when the Golden Nugget’s seven different restaurants come in handy.

Even if you’ve never been to Las Vegas, you’ve probably seen the Golden Nugget; it’s been featured in television shows, games, and movies like the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever and the 2006 movie Smokin’ Aces.

If you’re anywhere in New Jersey, you can spin 18 premium H5G slots – including Cave King, Valkyrie Queen, Rocket Man, Sirens, and Jaguar Princess – for real money from your laptop, tablet, or phone through Golden Nugget’s online casino.

What’s your favorite casino to visit? In between now and your next vacation, get your slot fix at High 5 Casino and Shake the Sky Casino.

The Big Game at High 5 Casino

h5c_superbowl_1200_1200
Who’s excited for the big game between New England and Seattle this Sunday? I know I can’t wait to see 11 minutes of bone-crunching hits and perfect spirals spread out over 12 hours of TV coverage. I love football, but there’s way too much downtime during the game; occasionally I’ll doze off on second down and wake up before the teams are even lined up for third down. Even if you don’t appreciate football, you can still enjoy yourself by self-medicating with nachos and beer while watching commercials that cost approximately 66 billion dollars per second. Just don’t forget that Super Bowl Monday isn’t a national holiday – YET – so you still have to drag yourself into the office the next day. In the spirit of the upcoming showdown, we got to thinking which High 5 Casino characters would make the best football players:

Thundering Buffalo

I don’t care how good your team’s offensive line is, if they’re matched up against three or four of these bad boys on the defensive line your quarterback is getting sacked all day.

The Mighty Atlas

TMA would just wreck defenders as a running back. If he got a head of steam going the results would look something like this.

These lady monsters travel in packs, so they’d make a great group of gang-tackling linebackers. Plus, they’re undead so even if they lose a limb or something they won’t miss a play.

Rocket Man

Your team would never lose a game if the Rocket Man was under center as quarterback. He’d take the snap, toss a deep ball, then glide down the field and catch it himself!

The Sultan might rule Mars, but we’re on EARTH talking about EARTH-SPORTS. If he deigned to come here, he’d probably be unable to do anything but be a lame field goal kicker.

Which team are you rooting for this weekend? Win big at High 5 Casino before the game kicks off!

Holidays at High 5 Casino

h5c_blog_Holiday_guests_1200x1200
We’re smack dab in the middle of the holiday season, folks. I hope you’re all further along in your holiday shopping than I am, which is to say I hope you’ve started your holiday shopping. Naturally, I got to thinking about which High 5 Casino characters you would – and would not – want to celebrate the holidays with:

Queen Isabella

I’m sure Queen Isabella has a great personality. She probably has some interesting stories, too. But invite her over your place to celebrate the holidays mainly because she’s an AMAZING gift giver.

Rembrandt Riches

Invite Rembrandt over, and just happen to leave out some painting supplies. See what happens – maybe you’ll end up with a priceless work of art on your hands, for the meager price of some ham and eggnog!

Rocket Man

You can invite Rocket Man over even if he lives far away; the dude has a jetpack, so transportation is not an issue. Once he’s over, subtly suggest that maybe he should give everyone a ride home – after all, with great power comes great responsibility, right?

Pets

There’s no way you should let the old man from Pets into your house. He definitely would show up with a pig, or a ferret, or both. Then he’d act like it’s no big deal as he fed his critters from the table, and before leaving he’d probably try to make you adopt something or another.

Pasión y Fuego

The couple from Pasión y Fuego would be nice, for a while. Then a switch would be invisibly flipped, and they’d be at each other’s necks over some perceived slight. Nobody wants that bringing down their holidays.

Bah, Humbug!

This one’s obvious. Stay away from Scrooge, at all costs!

We hope everyone’s enjoying the holiday season! Let us know which High 5 Casino characters you would and would not want to have over in the comments below.

Celebrating the World Cup at H5C

H5C_FifaWorldCup_1200x1200
The World Cup kicked off today, with Brazil defeating Croatia 3-1. To all the Brazilian High 5-ers out there, congrats! To all the Croatian High 5-ers, better luck next time! We’re very excited for the upcoming month of international competition, so we got to thinking about which characters from High 5 Casino games would make good soccer players, and here’s what we came up with:

Valkyrie Queen

She’s used to watching over battlefields, so the Valkyrie Queen would have no issue watching defenses and waiting for her chance to score as a striker. She’s fast and strong, and used to fighting, so she wouldn’t mess around with all of that annoying flopping stuff. Instead, she’d bide her time, and when the moment was right she’d attack and attack until the ball was in the net.

The Mighty Atlas

A big part of being a good soccer player is endurance; you’re never going to succeed on the pitch if you’re winded after just a few minutes. And who’s got more endurance than Atlas, the Titan who holds up the heavens? Even if Atlas has no skills on the ball, he’s in such good shape that he’s sure to be an asset as a midfielder.

Jaguar Princess

The Jaguar Princess would make a great defender. If she can stand guard over an entire jungle, she definitely can cover a few yards in front of the goal. She’s very feisty, though, so she’d have to keep her wild side in check so as to avoid a red card.

Rocket Man

Who could possibly perform better in front of the net than the Rocket Man? His jet pack would allow him to stay in front of any shot, even if he was out of position. Plus, he’s a super hero, so he’s used to being in the limelight. There’s no way the Rocket Man is going to get flustered in a big game when he’s had to defeat villains and save cities before.

Which High 5 Casino characters do you think would make good soccer players? And who are you rooting for in the 2014 World Cup? Comment below and let us know what you think!

High 5 Fight Club

We often ask our players over on the High 5 Casino fan page to comment on different game vs. game matchups. Today we’ll be taking a look at two different battles we came up with, and determining who would emerge victorious. Take our polls and let us know what you think!

VQ-VS-Stella_403x403
Valkyrie Queen vs. Stella Drive

Our first matchup pits two of the toughest ladies in the H5G universe against each other. On the one hand, you’ve got Stella, an intergalactic officer of the peace from thousands of years in the future. She’s got a state-of-the-art spaceship, the Orb of Chance (which sounds dangerous, at least some of the time), some sweet hand-to-hand skills, and, most importantly, a fierce stare. But then there’s the Valkyrie Queen, ripped from Norse mythology. She’s working with a flying horse, a huge hammer, and, oh yeah, the ability to control life and death. That’s kind of a big one. Ultimately, Valkyrie Queen would win this battle. Goddess > mortal, every time.

EDGE: Valkyrie Queen

MA-VS-RM_403x403
Rocket Man vs. The Mighty Atlas

This is a classic matchup of speed vs. strength. Rocket Man protects his city with his trusty jetpack, which allows him to keep an eye on villains looking to get an unfair share. He could stop a bank robbery in one part of town, then easily zoom over to another to beat up a jewelry thief. Meanwhile, The Mighty Atlas clearly hits the gym. Often. I mean, you’ve got to have some pretty strong trapezius muscles to hold up the entire world, right? Or maybe that’s how all Titans look. Regardless, Rocket Man would dart around, hitting Atlas with little jabs and pokes, but it would be lights out for our little David once Goliath hits him with one solid hook.

EDGE: The Mighty Atlas
