Golden Nugget is offering a $1.85 billion seven-year loan to investors, according to Bloomberg. The company also plans to issue a $1.85 billion secured bond and an additional unsecured bond of the same size. Along with a new revolving credit facility, proceeds from the offerings will be used to refinance existing debt.
