California casino is one of those golden era hotel of bygone yrs! Hotels like the Riviera on the strip begin demolishing soon into oblivion. It really makes u ponder and think of the nostalgia of glamour and blss of Las Vegas glorious past of gangsters and famous entertainers of that era. If u r a non-smoker n mind having nicotine or the smell of it. This part of town won't make u a very happy camper for staying here. It is after all a few past remnants still exist in LV for the Nostalgia folks to hold on to a very small memory of their past. With that said, most people stay here r in their prime or in better term seniors. If u don't mind the age gap and enjoy the old part of downtown Las Vegas charm. This will be a perfect stay option for you. Everything in this part of town is much cheaper compare to the tourist trap on the strip. You will not break your bank for staying here. Their hotel r in constant renovation and the slots r much looser!!!!
