California Las Vegas

In the heart of historic, vibrant and sometimes overlooked downtown Las Vegas, the California Hotel and Casino is part of one of the great Las Vegas attractions, the Fremont Street Experience. Like the wonderful show put on by the Bellagio Fountains, this is a completely free attraction with a dazzling light show on one of the world's largest video screens and a street filled with people simply enjoying themselves. California Hotel Las Vegas guests have benefited since this street was made a pedestrian-only promenade mall some years ago. It is a safe venue providing easy, casual access to all the attractions along the five block area. There are ten casino hotels that are part of this experience, so guests of the California Las Vegas have access to all the great shopping, casino excitement and varied restaurants provided by its neighbors.

The California Las Vegas relies on the popularity of its Fremont Street Experience and neighboring casinos for entertainment. Don't mistake this one entertainment venue as a lack of things to do in Las Vegas, as you'll be busy for a while just in this neighborhood alone. There are six California Hotel and Casino dining and drinking venues, serving quick snack bar fare, Asian and seafood specialties, and there's a 24-hour café. For ambience, locals and guests alike head to the Redwood Bar & Grill for great steaks and live piano music.

What are Las Vegas hotels without gaming? At California Las Vegas you'll enjoy more than 1,000 slots and video games, a race and sports book and plenty of table games. If you want to try your luck elsewhere, neighboring casinos like the Las Vegas Club, the Fremont Hotel and Casino, and Golden Nugget are just a few steps away. The downtown area hotels are generally more attractively priced than the properties on the Strip, and the California Hotel Las Vegas is no exception. Nonetheless, it offers beautifully-appointed, comfortable rooms and suites decorated in relaxed plantation and tropical island style. Amenities include cable television with in-room movies; telephone; clock radio; hairdryer; iron and ironing board, and refrigerator. Suites offer a wet bar. If you want to travel further afield, there's complimentary shuttle transportation to the Las Vegas Strip as wells as sister properties Main Street Station and Sam's Town.

Like most Las Vegas hotels and casinos, California Las Vegas offers a variety of special vacation packages geared around the events in Las Vegas and different seasons. There may be NASCAR racing specials, New Year's specials and Winter Getaway specials—no matter what the Las Vegas weather may be doing, you should be able to find a special package. There are also a number of meeting, convention and event services, including banquet catering, that can accommodate up to 350 people. You can stay at California Hotel Las Vegas as well as have your special ocassion or event here.

The California Hotel and Casino is part of the Boyd Gaming group of casinos, which also has gaming properties in Atlantic City, Illinois, Mississippi, Louisiana and Indiana. In addition, the Fremont and Main Street Station Casino are both Boyd Gaming properties. You can earn "B Connected" points at all of these casinos and spend them at any of the others. The points are redeemable for free slots play, discounts at property restaurants, trips and more.
