I checked out the Kickstarter. If I could pledge just for the foil one, I would be in. But I can't, so meh. Pass for me.
They are not. Glamor Nuggets are a "tribute deck" to the classic Golden Nuggets. I have no idea who designed the classic (the credit would probably entirely go to whoever designed the Casino's logo)

Hermon Boernge was the artist who designed the iconic Golden Nugget sign whose image was used as the company logo and printed on the cards sometime around 1961-1965.
