A beta would usually be tested before the release, unlike a nightly. A nightly may just be compiled with latest fixes, then released with little or no testing done.
So nightly is the beta version, with fixed bugs, thanks

Nightly might not be as stable, as it has had little to no testing.

In case anyone wondering the build bot status. Their not restoring nightly builds until CM9 is ready. At least that is what Chris Soyars on twitter/G+ said. Although they may have another stable release.
Latest nightly builds

Here you go, maybe this is want you were asking for, it adds all the latest little stuff in the changelog to a new build. All credit goes to --> baldwinguy77 and Cyanogenmod.
hello guys
i have been running CM9 RC0 (cm-9.0.0-RC0-crespo-signed.no.v5) on my GSM Nexus S OCed to 1.2GHz (ondemand governor)
and now i found out that they have released RC1 and so i downloaded it to give it a try.
but before doing so i have some questions in mind regarding RC1
that if it is worth flashing instead of CM9 RC0?
what are the possible added features of settings that are of more benefit than the previous version ?
please help me as i am just a rookie in these rom flashing and Overclocking
Just thinking that new version always worth to flash otherwise why do they release it? Working on ROM is not something easy

It's newer cm code compiled into a Nightly release. Some nightlies are more stable than others, read the changelogs and bug for nightlies and you'll have an idea of what is fixed in a release and what is broken by an update.

ok great so does it mean that it should be more faster than the Rc0 or the nightly builds ? because CyanogenMod is MEANT to be a PERFORMANCE ROM so there must be some more speedy update to it in simple words right ?
Let me try this again, Nightlies are just the latest code compiled into a Rom, there's no guarantee you'll see any difference between one nightly or another so you have to read the changelog to see what code was changed.

Because to have official support it has to be out of Alpha/Beta stage. In other words it has to be completely stable on hardware level (kernel and proprietary binaries) before it can be included in the main repo and build with only CM not device changes. CM devs will not bother to fix device stuff, only OS related. So if you are reading the CM10 threads you will know that we are far from that still. It may be working but not for all (example the hitachi panel users). Until this is fixed - no official support.

thanks for the explanation dude
appreciate it. now i understand
i always thought the cm guys do the work them selves to get everythign working correctly.guess i was wrong
so our devs have to get it stable first.then they add it
CM-10 stable has been released on Nov 15. Why are there still nightly roms coming out these days? Shouldn't they work on cm-10.1 now?
Because there's always room for improvements, no software is perfect and somebody would stick to 4.1 instead of pushing his/her device too much with 4.2

It could also be that these updates are leading into the 10.1 builds .... and also there is always something that needs getting fixed

Because stable != final. Misconception a lot of people seem to have.
It seems a lot like my other thread, but I wanted to give a POV for others using CM (or CM based) ROMs alternative choices.
So where do CM users go for their OnePlus One?
LineageOS
Too beta for now.
Lineage is for all intents and purposes IS CyanogenMod. Stick with a stable CM build until the builds start coming back online.

Are the nightly\experimental builds OK to use daily or should I wait for a stable version?

It just picks up from where CM14.1 left off, so if you were using a CM14.1 nightly chances are the new nightlies will be the same. I'd say they're pretty stable for what it's worth, they're definitely the most concrete ROMs for this device.
