| - I got room here for a couple of days after Christmas, and the room rate was $40 a night, not bad. For being in downtown, not a bad place to stay. It's not the Nugget, but not bad. I like the walkway that connects the California Hotel to Main Street Hotel & Casino. I usually play at Main Street, cuz I have better luck at the craps table, and can play for hours at the bars poker machine and get free beers (Porter, Black Chip) and watch the Sports on the TV's. When your luck has turn bad, there is a great 2 cent machine that pays if you got the time. Its all for fun.
Now for the food. If you like Hawaiian food, try Aloha Specialties for Loco Moco, Chicken with gravy, Spam musubi, Saimin, Teriyaki plates, etc... At the 24 hour Market Street Cafe, the breakfast buffet is pretty good. I love the late night Oxtail soup, which is served from 11pm to around 9am, or when they run out. Market Street Cafe has a regular menu, but the line last night for the oxtail was amazing. people from teens to seniors were in line for it.
If you like walking around in shorts, tee shirt, slippas, then this is the place for you. So relax here, and the $5 tables are great too. Fremont Street is good entertainment for their light show at night, and you can dart in and out of all the other Casinos. If you want to go to the strip, it's only a $20 cab ride to the Venetian.
Only caution I have for you is, if you hate the smell of cigarette smoke, do not gamble here from mid afternoon til three in the morning, well that's when I go to bed. Early morning to noon is good.
