Everytime I am downtown the Main Street Station is a must. I enjoy the victorian charm of the hotel and all the antiquities. I find the casino and public areas to be very enjoyable. I have never stayed here, so can't comment on the rooms.
There is a good selection of video poker in the casino, including the main bar along the back wall. All the dealers and staff that I encountered were helpful and friendly. The genuinely seemed to appreciate their customers. Cocktail service was fine and generally prompt.
We are fans of the buffet for dinner (T-bone steak night) at an affordable price, and the Triple 7 Brew Pub has great food and service as well.
Main Street Station is only a block or two away from Fremont Street, so it's within very easy walking distance. A great place to play!
