We've stayed at Main Street Station several times over the years when meeting up with family from Hawaii. It really does feel like I'd imagine a casino in Hawaii (at least the people there :). It isn't a fancy place, but it's well kept and has a bit of a homey feel to it.

I'm not a huge fan of the Fremont street area, but gambling in the California and Main Street are pretty relaxing to me.

The strip gets pricey on the weekends and my wife had never seen the Fremont street experience so I booked a Fri/Sat here. I had been to the brew pub on a previous trip and liked the selection of ales. We had fun and I would definitely stay here again. We are budget travelers and have no qualms about catching the bus (duece) to go to strip attractions.

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.
