i specifically asked for a non-smoking room and when i got there they put me in a smoking room saying they didn't have anything else available.

make sure to double lock your door because housekeeping just barges in without knocking.

don't believe the front desk people when they say they are taking some unjustified charges off your account. those charges are bound to appear on you credit card anyway so get their word in writing.

called customer service/accounting about the charges and they weren't very helpful either.

My girlfriend's son had to go to the emergency room in Vegas because of infections from bedbug bites while staying at the California last year. And now the Cal is being sued for the second time in two years for bedbug bites. Look REAL good around your sheets and crevises around the headboard in ANY hotel before jumping in. Good hotel and nice staff (mostly) at the Cal, but they got to get a grip on this or I'm not going near the place. Hopefully, the Cal can do this without turning the place into a carcinogenic toxic waste dump.

OK room-- clean, good bed and pillows, enough space, reasonable service. I doubt that many come to do some work here, but if you happen to want to use the internet while enjoying the comforts of this hotel, you will be disappointed. There is the option of signing up for wireless service at $10/day. The service is so slow that I think they are using a modem. It's not worth it. Far better to go to the Main Street casino (near the gift shop) and get free and faster wireless service.

After reading some of the reviews on this site before my trip I was apprehensive about staying at the California Hotel. We usually stay at the Golden Nugget but they won't let you check in on a Saturday so we ended up at the California. Our connecting flight out of Seattle was canceled so we didn't get to the hotel till midnight. They only had single beds available in the standard rooms that were left so the lady at the desk upgraded us to a suit. Without us asking! It was a nice, well appointed, clean room with a very comfortable king bed. After a long day of traveling we wanted a drink so headed downstairs. The gal working the bar was very cordial, informative and quick with a drink. The poker machines were rather generous to me as well. I highly recommend the California Hotel. I will be back.
