This is a wonderful little casino off the main old strip but EASY to walk to and from Freemont Street Experience. Always great valet, rooms are always neat and clean and the casino floor people are always nice. Especially Ralph, on eof the dealers.

Stayed here for nascar weekend, great package and price. One of the best casino's and hotels down town. will stay here again, 777 brew pub,buffet, all excellant.

This was my first time staying here and I was very pleased. I received a mail offer for 2 free nights. The offer included weekends. This offer was based on play I did last Sept. 2007, only 2 hours play or so, less than 1000 points. I stopped in just to try their home brewed beer, which is very good.



I booked a room for myself for Aug. 22nd-24th and they gave me a second room for my sister at the casino rate, $53 a night. There were 5 of us total in 2 rooms.



Check-in was fast and easy. We were given adjoining rooms on the 17th floor facing Fremont Street, 1709 & 1711. Even though these were smoking rooms, you couldn't smell a whiff of tobacco odor. Not any at all! The rooms are large and come with a fridge and in-room movies. No room service though. The beds are comfy with a pillow top. The pillows are soft so you may want to bring your own. See pics. Elevator service was fast and efficient the entire trip as well.



Food: We ate at The 777 BrewPub for dinner. A 16oz prime rib or Ribeye dinner is $13.95. Nothing was more than $13.95. There is also a sampler of all their beers for $5.50. The food was excellent but the service is a bit slow and overworked. They take your drink and food order at the same time. The menu has everything you would find at a sportsbar or Applebee's type place. LCD TVs incircle the dining area so you can watch the game, boxing, or car race while you eat.



We had breakfast in the buffet, which was more like brunch. It was $6.95 per person and very good! There were tons of choices including Chinese and pizza. Drinks are brought to your table and served in large tumblers, 32oz size! We had no complaints about the food in Main St. There is also a high end steak house "The Pullman Grill, about $30 per person.



The casino was just OK for me. My sis and younger brother made out better than I but don't expect to win a huge amont, just enough to keep playing for awhile. There was no problem with cigarette smoke in the casino. It was well ventilated. Join the slot club and they will probably invite you back based on how much you play. We are just low rollers but this place caters to us.



There are lots of Hawaiians staying here I noticed. They are good casinos mates; they play big, are quiet and don't bother anybody. In fact, all the clientele were very polite and unselfish, unlike other places I've stayed at recently. People would hold doors open for you or hold the elevators for each other. It was very nice.

Stayed at Main Street Station (MSS) from 9 thru 14 Aug 08. Arrived late (1AM), check in was fast. This was our first stay downtown but will not be our last. The staff at MSS is pretty responsive. The casino is laid out nicely. Had some luck there but better luck at the California next door. You use the MSS players card. We had an odd numbered room on the 5th floor and it was very quiet. The room was basic but the bed was great. Sleep well the entire visit. We don't care about fancy rooms so this one fit the bill - clean, comfortable, good size, and as I said, a great bed. We were tired of staying on the Strip and decided to try downtown and Main Street had sent us free room offers, making the decision easy. My wife has arthritis in her knee and because of all the walking she was in pain. We rented an electric scooter at the hotel and she was able to get around perfectly. I really liked not seeing a bunch of kids running around the hotel and casino; great! We play slots and did most of our playing downtown. Won money at Binion's, the California, and MSS. However, we always drive out to Texas Station whenever we visit LV and always win. The wife hit a %1,675.00 progressive Blazing 7s jackpot. I won over $600 myself. Not bad. In fact between playing downtown and at T-Station, we paid for our trip completely and took home money. Can complain about that. We are middle aged folks and really like the downtown area where you get a good deal for your money. Oh, the buffet was very good at MSS. We had the breakfast and Diner buffets and both were well worth the price. We ate one meal at the 777 Brewery but were disappointed - it took them 3 tries to get our steaks cooked correctly and the final steak was cooked to our order but was tasteless. Oh, well, the good out weighed the bad. Try MSS if you are not into the glits of the Strip.

It looks like I'm the exception to the rule but the MSS rooms were not what I expected. I booked it because of the good weekend rates and I love downtown. I normally stay at the Four Queens but like to try different hotels when I can. I was put on the 8th floor and right outside my window were the railroad tracks which I found out in the middle of the night, not the place to be. This went on the 2 nights I was there and it is very disturbing as the train whistle/horns just had to blow right as they were coming by MSS. I found the room was not all that nicely decorated and not near as nice as the Fremont, Four Queens or the El Cortez. The bed was fairly comfortable and it did have a mini fridge which was nice. I know I should have changed rooms but once I get to my destination, I'm done. I did have the Sunday Champagne brunch and it was excellent. None of the machines I played were winning. I doubt I will stay again unless they miraculously send me a comped room offer.



Like I said, I'm probably the minority here but you cannot impress a new customer by giving them the worse rooms in the hotel. Not good customer service training.

We've stayed at the Main Street Station 15 times for a week at a time. Maybe we're in a rut or maybe this property just feels like home to us. We've always found most of the staff cordial. The car valets,registration clerks, the dealers and floor persons, the servers in the Triple 7 and the Pullman Grille are all accommodating. The housekeepers are usually efficient but do disappear at times and once a dealer, inexperienced as she was, didn't want to pay a A-2-3straight in 3 Card Poker and the florperson had to intervene. These lapses are rare. The casino with it's stained glass windows and high ceilings over the pit has an ambience lacking in ritzier resorts. The Triple 7 has that brewpub vibe and the Pullman Grille is furnished with historic artifacts and has a railway car parked right in the hushed, clubby room. You can take your after dinner coffee and cognac inside it.The Garden Court Buffet is a lovely room for breakfast where you can see daylight and focus your eyes for a day of revellry. I'm sorry to read that edjann from Hawaii had a negative experience from the server in the Triple 7. That's rare.

We were back again for our 6th time (4/3-4/7-08) and once again we enjoyed ourselves. My wife was invited to the slot tournament. Unfortunately, she didn't qualify. I did come in 3rd in the daily tournament one day. It seemed like the machines were a little tighter downtown this trip. The room was nice but still needed dusting. everytning else worked and once again we had a frig! The meals were great and this trip we got to eat at The Pullman Lounge. One of the best meals I've had in Vegas. Thanks Brenda for everything!!!! I wished that they would put in a deli or snack bar because there are times when I don't want a whole buffet for breakfast but just something light. But that's just me! Hope to be back in November.

My wife and I have been staying at Main Street for a number of years. One thing we have noticed during our last couple of stays is, 'their mattresses are worn out'. My wife sent them a letter after the last stay about the situation. She never heard from anyone. My biggest knock with the casino is there are NO recessions given to non-smokers. The casino comps very well.

My brother and I stayed here for the Super Bowl and had another great stay.Maid service was prompt,quick and thurough.We always try to stay here for the value and service.Garden Court Buffet always a good meal here.

I just had a pleasant stay at Main Street Station. The room was very nice and clean. All staff that I encountered were very friendly and upbeat. I love the casino, specifically, the choice of video poker machines, free drinks from the brewery while playing, and the scratch tickets that are given out for 4 of a kinds and straight flushes. I would definitely stay here again.

stayed here during nascar weekend, great package deal.

We stayed at the Venetion for 3 nights then to go downtown cheched in here.



Super 8 hotel at best. Thats ok just don't think this place is tops because of the buffet.



Main St, Cali, Freemont are all part of Boyds but lesser quality than Orleans and Gold Cost. Can not use the Coast cards here????? Must reapply for the downtown properties.



You get a better deal at the other cost properties.



These downtown properties cater to Hawaiian/Japanese tours. Expect to see a lot of asian faces. Thats ok with me and the clients were friendly/fun.



You can only get POI at the Cali in Vegas. Poi does suck the big one.

You got the message. Well go stay and do the buffet.



Slots were REAL tight at all 3 places downtown.



Check in was real slow at Main St but the Hawaiian beauty checking us in made the wait a pleasure. Clevage, smile,& personality go a long way.



If you have a car do the Orleans (best rooms) or Gold Coast before other Boyds places. Sam's Town is also an option for much further out from the strip.

I love the Atrium show.

Stayed for 2 nights. Room was clean and comfortable. Some noise from the freeway but not a big issue...A/C covered it up. Great casino and friendly staff.

I really liked Main Street Station and would defintiely stay here again. By far the best place I've stayed Downtown. We stayed for two nights and were pleasantly surprised by the rooms. We had heard that noise from the train and freeway could be a problem, so we asked for a room high up. They gave us one on the highest floor. It was larger and nicer than the typical Downtown room, and even had a nice view. The bathroom included a sink/vanity area and a separate toilet/shower area. This worked out well, as it gave me plenty of room to spread out at the sink - which is something of a commodity Downtown. I didn't care for the shower. Very low shower heads, and little manuverability if you need to shave your legs.



I love the decor of the hotel and the casino. This place has more atmosphere than most Downtown places. However, I found the slot selection in the casino to be somewhat lacking. Service was good and friendly, though.



The only downside I can see is that MSS is not directly on Fremont Street. You need to walk a couple of blocks over to get there, but it's not a long walk and would not prevent me from staying there again. The fact that it's off Fremont actually makes it more easily accesible by car.

We checked out this morning and unfortunately the 24 hr coffe shop was closed. The line in pasta pirate was overflowing into the waiting area and we all had a flight to catch. We went to the triple 7 brewery to eat something before going to the airport. There was only one waitress, and she was the waitress from hell-absolutely rude and unfriendly. She had no reason to be this way to us, and did not have any aloha spirit. At 4 am, she did not want to be there, and she let everyone know she was doing them a favor by taking their orders-not even menus on the table so she asked us to go outside to see what they had-we jsut kept on walking. it seems that if the coffee shop is going to close, there would be more co-ordination between eateries for Cal and Main Street. We ended up going to the airport on empty stomachs. Also, while gambling at main street, we had to move many times due to the cigarette smoke. At times it was nauseating (is it because of low ceiling heights?) and on two nights we ended up across the street after having to move so many times. Boyd Gaming is a giant, and they should take the lead in making some areas of the casino smoke free. How can they expect us to play for minimum time cycles if we are sickened by smoke?

Jan 07 My wife travel to Vegas once a year. This was our first stay at the MMS. Stayed at many Hotels downtown & on the Strip, the MMS is by far the best. Everyone was friendly.Room were very clean, watch talking a shower because the shower head is only about 5' high MAYBEE. Ask for a odd # room the even # rooms are noisy because your on the expressway side of the building & don't for get the RR trains that come buy.This didn't bother us to much because we only sleep for about 5 hrs.If you were to stay there in the month's you use use the air conditing you would not hear a thing.The restrants are 1st class.



This is not a place to take your family.Thers is no swimming poll. But Vegas is not for the family. The down side is that we didn't win any money.After checking in sigh up for the rewards card.



Well be back to stay at the MMS.

3rd visit this year. As always it was a great place to stay. Very helpful and cheerful employees. Thanks Brenda. Can't wait to get back again. This is our home away from home. Did not win $ on this trip but have won in the past. The best part is that it is a block or so off of the crowded downtown Fremont Street. Main Street is easily accessable from the skyway to The Cal and walking across the street to the Vegas Club.....Steve M.

We had never stayed downtown before so we decided to stay at Main Street during our June 2006 trip. The casino, Triple 7 Brewpub, and the buffet have a laid back atmosphere which suited us. Employees are courteous and attentive. Cocktail waitresses come around often. You can get microbrews from Triple 7 on the casino floor. The rooms are modern (were renovated in 2005) and comfortable. However, be prepared, the shower is a little short. It seems suited for those 5 ft and under.

9/8--9/11-'06

JUST RETURNED HOME FROM 3 DAY TRIP. DIDN'T STAY AT THE HOTEL, BUT DID SPEND 1 DAY IN THE CASINO. I WAS VERY INPRESSED WITH THE SERVICE AND THE FRIENDLY DEALERS. MY WIFE PLAYS THE SLOTS AND I PLAY TABLE GAMES, SHE DID REALLY GOOD ON THE SLOTS AND I DID GOOD ON BLACKJACK. WE MADE BACK WHAT WE LOST AT THE GOLDEN NUGGET, THE HOTEL WE STAYED AT.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CASINO TO GAMBLE AT.

The service is friendly and accomodating. Even though we did not stay here we were given a comp on dinner and told that our rooms would have been discounted had we been staying with them.

The location (downtown) may not be the best but once inside you forget where you are. I actually enjoyed the property more so than most of the strip hotels.

Did not stay here -- only came to gamble a little. Signed up for the players' club card with the very courteous lady behind the counter. Casino is smallish, but nice -- easy to find your way around.

Alway's stay at the mss, via vacation's hawaii. the breakfast buffet is alway's a winnah....say what's up to the omlet guy and ask for extra cheese...

I am a frequent visitor at Main Street Station; we visit Vegas 4-5 times per year, and this is the place we choose to call HOME. Rooms are GREAT -- clean, large, recently updated. Food is outstanding; can't beat the menu at the Triple 7. Of course we are fans of the microbrewery -- great beer you can get comped by drink waitresses while playing on the casino floor. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND signing up for the Players Club. We are very low-budget gamblers but by being members of the Club, we now get free rooms and comped food. Well worth the time to sign up. Visit in April was a mailed offer of 3 free nights with $25 food vouchers @ any MSS eatery. Great stuff, people! Hotel check in / out is always quick and easy. Valet parking is quickest downtown -- we usually use it even if we stay somewhere else.

enjoyed my stay and loved the service and the Keno slots.

The MSS is truly a jewel of downtown. The rooms are spacious, clean and very functional. The casino is large enough to accomodate all major games (no sports book or keno) but small enough that you will usually find your partner with one walk through. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food options on-site are wonderful! The buffet is the best downtown, the Triple 7 has great "sports bar" fare and the Pullman Grill is excellent. Their micro-brews are all very good and players get them free while playing.



Charge everything to your room and ask a host to review your play before you leave (ask at the slot club desk and the on-duty host has a computer right there and she will come to you). They are very generous.

This property is completing a remodel. The rooms are nicely done with limited amenities, hair dryers are avilable on request. If your a light sleeper you may want an odd numbered room. Rooms with even numbers overlook the freeway and railroad tracks. Rooms do not have window drapes but plastic slats on the windows. The hotel cleanliness is excellent. Check in and check out are efficient. Would not hesitate to stay at this property again.

Had a good time here on 7/3/05. Players club covers California and Fremont too. Very nice. Antiques made it one of the more interesting places to play in all of Vegas. Found a few full pay Duces VP machines. Slots well maintained. Good drink service

I didn't stay at mss but visited here three times during my stay downtown.I love the 777 brewpub. For around $10.00 I had a very good prime rib dinner with a microbrew. It was very good and I had it each of the three times I visited the casino.The casino is I think the classiest downtown. I love the looks, feel and generally the people at main Street Station.... I thought about staying here my next visit but would rather be around the fremont street experience.The posts here sound like there can be a lot of noise from the trains.I would recomend this hotel and especially the 777 for visitors who would feel like trying it.......thanks, John D.

Main Street Station has to be the best hotel downtown. The rooms are nice and better than most out on the strip. Our room was clean and the bathroom was large. We were near the railroad track and hiway but didn't have a problem with noise. Let the fan run on the heating/ac unit and that drowns out most of the exterior noise.



The casino is like any other casino around, but it bugged me I couldn't find any full pay video poker machines.



The one thing this place has going for it is the food. We ate at the Triple 7 brew club and the food and beer were great. We also had the Sunday Champaigne brunch which was incredible. Yummy Yummi.



This place is definitely a value, but it isn't like staying on the strip. Don't get me wrong though, Main Street Station is nice and I would stay there again. It's just that the atmosphere is different than out on the strip.

Stayed here in May 2005. Made of lot of friends here and won a little money in the casino. Plus, the players club is a great way to get quick comps on rooms and food. Great downtown hotel and casino. Nice and friendly people too.

First time stay at Main Street Station. Basic room, stayed on the six floor facing the Plaza got woken a couple of times by the train. 777 Brew was good while playing VP at the bar.

Main Street Station is a good hotel for the value minded traveler. Rooms are not expensive and are functional. Beds are comfortable and rooms are adequately furnished.



I have read on this site that most prefer a room on the South side of the tower (odd numbered) as the noise level on the North side can be a problem. We stayed on the North side and the noise was awful. The traffic from the freeway is not too bad as I can sleep through a great deal. However, the noise from the trains is AWFUL. If you don't have an odd numbered room ask for one. If you can't get it, you should find another place to stay.



Additionally, the staff at the bell desk was less than helpful and forgot to pick up our bags after we called tha bell desk on checkout. It took over a half hour and two phone calls to get our bags picked up.



While I would stay here again, there are other places for me to get a value room off the strip, either downtown or on the Boulder Highway. I always rent a car and driving around town is not an isue for me.

This is the fourth time we've stayed at MainStreet Station and each time we find something else to like. Basic but clean rooms, nice location for downtown wandering with a bridge to the sister property, "California", good restaurants, terrific mail offers with mid-roller play and enough reasonable video poker to be enjoyable. Comps have been tightened slightly but most room offers come with food vouchers so the net result is still a great bargain.

Didn't stay here, stayed at Fitzgerald's, but gambled here. I went there because I wanted to try their micro brews. I think I'd classify them more as beer than a micro brew, but it didn't matter because the service was great and they kept them coming. They also have great video poker machines. Full-pay and if you get 4 of a kind, you get a scratch ticket and can win more money. I didn't realize this until my second 4-of-a-kind, so if you get one, be sure to hit your "change" button and show them so that you get your scratch ticket. They are a fun added bonus. The staff was also very friendly and fun to talk with.

Definetly my favorite place downtown. We stayed in December for free. They keep sending me these letters for three free nights, so we're going back in April. The rooms are adequate. We did notice some of the noise that others have mentioned, but it wasn't too bad. I also really like the atmosphere of the casino. The micro brews are available at the tables while you're gambling. The buffet is still one of the best in town and the Triple 7 Brew Pub also has great food. If you have a car, the self park lot is very convenient.

This place is a very good value and rewards you with generous and repeated offers after fairly modest action. Our room was on the 16th floor and faced the highway and traintracks- neither of which bothered us at all. Good clean basic room, a friendly hotel, nice casino and a nice assortment of restaurants are making this our favorite downtown spot.

Be sure to hit the triple 7 brewpub for a glass of high roller gold

Didn't stay there - stayed at the Nugget, but gambled here. Friendly dealers, even at the $5 blackjack tables. Customers were a lot like me - not serious gamblers, just out to have a good time. Prompt and frequent cocktail service - excellent beer. Really enjoyed the pale ale and the red. Will probably stay there next time.
