Ok, so California Hotel and Casino isn't "on" Fremont Street. But it is definately worth the 1 block walk to get to it. The room was spacious, clean an QUIET! Very nice Hawaiian decor (not tacky at all), comfortable bed. Our only issue was our AC wasn't quiet as cold as we like it, but we like it C-O-L-D!! The... more

The hotel is great, staff very friendly, very clean room, has many restaurants. The first night we ate in the cafe, I ordered the fish (big mistake), It was white fish (very fishy taste, not cooked all the way.) I ended up with food poison. I haven't told the hotel yet, I will. Other than that every thing else was... more

My room came with a TV, refrigerator, bed, iron, ironing board and decorated with wall paper. The TV was an old tube tv (no flat screen here), my room a/c was colder than the refrigerator, the mattress was lumpy, the iron was only capable of pressing one shirt before breaking, and the wall paper was peeling. The hotel has a... more

The California is a modest, smaller hotel and a gem. It's a couple of blocks away from Fremont Street but you can either cut through the Las Vegas Club or Binions and land right at Fremont Street should you prefer to stay inside. It is NOT a huge, glitzy Vegas showplace. It's a smaller, quiet, clean hotel and was absolutely... more

I met my parents out here right after Christmas and stayed until New Year's eve. Contrary to what you may think about Las Vegas, during the winter it is cold. One day was 38, the next 39, two days later, 52 degrees...and it's a lot warmer at 52. The room was decent. Two beds a writing table with chairs and... more

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... more

Great hotel!

I've stayed at this hotel countless times over the years and it's probably one of the most under-rated hotels in Downtown! So many people here rave about the Nugget and a few others in Downtown, but the Cal is definitely worth mentioning. Great place to stay! more

I took advantage of an offer I received for two free nights at the California and was pleasantly surprised by all aspects of the property. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated; all of the furniture seemed fairly new and well-maintained. Most of the personnel I had contact with were friendly and helpful; there was one person working at the... more
