We just got back from another trip to Las Vegas. We've gone once a year for the past several years and always have a great time. We've stayed on the strip a few times, but over the last few years have preferred to stay just off the strip at places like the Orleans, Gold Coast and the South Point. This time we got a great deal on the Main Street Station and decided to give staying downtown a try.
We had been to MSS once before to eat at their good buffet and remembered it as vaguely nice, but I was still a little hesitant to be downtown and away from the Fremont Street Experience at that,. They rate we got for 4 nights was great so we gave it a try.
Location: MSS is just a very short and safe walk from Fremont St and is only a few blocks off the interstate highway that more of less parallels the strip. Getting to strip hotels was quick enough (although traffic in Las Vegas just keeps getting worse every year).
Food: We only ate at the buffet for a couple of meals and it was good, but not as great as I remembered. The buffet room may be the most beautiful in town.
Staff: Everyone we encountered at the hotel was great and very friendly.
Rooms: The rooms are fairly comparable to the other places we've stayed. Very nice, but not overly plush. My one disappointment was not having a coffee pot in the room. Since there is no coffee shop in the hotel (there is one at the California which is connected to the MSS by an elevated walkway) you are forced to leave the hotel or get it from a casino bar.
Casino: We did not play much there but it is very nice and not smoky.
