First GOLD to go ATM purchase Thomas Geissler (L), Tilman Fertitta

The Golden Nugget Las Vegas has gained a new highlight with the GOLD to goTM ATM. As of January 5, 2011, the world famous hotel and casino is the second location in North America with a permanent installation of a GOLD to goTM ATM, the world’s first gold vending machine. Following the global premiere at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi , the European launch at the initial European locations in Italy , Spain and Germany and the North American launch at the Town Center in Boca Raton , Florida , the Golden Nugget joins an elite group to offer the rare opportunity to purchase gold from a vending machine.

The GOLD to goTM ATMs are always online and update their prices every 10 minutes based on current gold spot prices. Along with gold bars of various weights ranging between one gram and one ounce, the vending machines can also sell traditional gold coins. Ex Oriente Lux AG, a medium-sized company from Reutlingen , Germany , known for its online precious metal portal www.Gold-Super-Markt.de, installed the ATM at the second US location today. GOLD to goTM, a world novelty born of German innovation, provides private investors with easy, convenient access to physical gold at fair real-time prices.

“We’re proud to be the first in Vegas to offer this amenity,” said Tilman Fertitta, CEO and Chairman of Landry’s, Inc., parent company to the Golden Nugget. “We offer our guests the ultimate Las Vegas experience and what’s more fitting than an ATM that dispenses gold, especially since the Golden Nugget is home to the Hand of Faith, the world’s largest nugget of gold.”

The gold ATM offers private investors an opportunity to expand their gold portfolio. However, the products dispensed by the machine, with their exquisite packaging, are also perfect for special gifts of lasting value. The “GOLD to goTM ATM” gold bullion products vending machines presently operate in more than 15 locations worldwide including Germany, Spain, Italy and Abu Dhabi.
