I hate to admit it, but this is the hotel I stayed at the most since I was 12 years old. Thanks to my parents, this is one of their favorite places to stay.
The hotel is in downtown Las Vegas (about 11 miles from the strip.) The California Hotel is connected to Main Street hotel and both hotels cater to pacific islanders mainly from Hawaii (being half Hawaiian I favor this hotel to others in the area). Although this hotel is far from the strip, there are lots to do here. For families you can go to the Fremont Street Experience (which is a little less than a mile walk under an overhang which plays music in the daytime and shows at night. ) There are also others casinos in the area.
Anyways, the California hotel is a decent place to stay. The rooms are nice but they were bigger when I was 12.
