What a great place to stay! Very comfortable and everyone friendly! Ours needs were met even with a coffee pot in the room. It's very close to the Fremont Experience. We'll stay again when we go to Las Vegas.

I have been to Vegas many times but have never stayed downtown so I thought I'd try the Main Street Station for 1 night. The hotel itself is fine - lobby is designed in a faux old west motif. Check in and out was quick and the brew pub had prompt service and ok food. The room (17th floor) was nice and a bit larger than expected, but I still heard train noise at night. The neighborhood is sketchy and even though I am a NYer by birth, was a little uncomfortable walking the 2 blocks back from the delightfully tacky Fremont Street Experience at night.

Room was very cheap - $36 plus tax. It's a deal, but a long way from the Strip.

Close to Fremont St, but a world away. Few children, beautiful rooms and friendly, helpful staff. If you prefer a little calmer atmosphere, this is the place for you. Perfect retreat after a day on the strip, or Fremont Street, good food and nice casino - what more could you want!

We had visited the Main St. Casino last year on a trip Downtown and thought we would like to stay there for Christmas 08. We booked back in February and got a $40 a night rate! Our room was as good as we expected. Following on from Tripadvisor advice we asked for an odd numbered room and got one on the 11th floor with good view.
We ate & drank mainly in the 777 Brewery pub or in the Cal across the bridge. And both were very good.
Gambling was fun and quiet apart from the Saturday night which was as busy as you'd expect for a Vegas weekend. One small gripe was that their one roulette table didn't open until 12 noon so we couldn't play our favourite table game in the morning.
The whole Freemont Street experience was fantastic and so much more fun than being squashed and trampled on the Strip. What has happenend to the skyline up there? Even the once proud Strat is being dwarfed. Less is more people!!
