Not to ruin everyone's good time, but I'm nearly certain that this is a replica -- and poor one at that. You don't have to look too closely to see paint drips.

It's between the back of the casino in a hallway that leads to the steakhouse and the chocolate shop.

Hard to find in the back of the casino. It's big.
[Subachad, 01/27/2013]We enjoy searching for it in the slot machine labryinth (could ask a casino employee, but what fun is that?).
Located inside the Golden Nugget Casino is the largest gold nugget on public display. Found in Wedderburn, Australia in October 1980 by a lucky fella and his trusty metal detector lying 6 inches below the surface. Second largest nugget ever found, weighing a mighty 61 pounds and 11 oz. Sold to the casino for a reported million dollars.
