99-Cent Shrimp Cocktail at the Golden Nugget is History

May 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment

It’s a sad day on Fremont street – the Golden Nugget has raised its prices on its famous 99-cent shrimp cocktail. The price is now a whopping $1.99. This still sounds like a pretty good deal but it just doesn’t have the same ring to it as the 99-cent price did.

The Golden Gate originally started selling the Shrimp Cocktails in 1959, when the price was 50 cents. In 1991 it raised the price to 99 cents.

    My name is Miriam. I was so sorry to read that the 99 cent shrimp cocktail is no longer!
