main street station casino brewery hotel buffet

This offer was based on play I did last Sept. I received a mail offer for 2 free nights. I would recommend this hotel, stay there again, and could easily see stopping by there for a beer or two.This was my first time staying here and I was very pleased. Yes, they have wood slats instead of curtains. The rooms are very large, and have a nice amount of furniture in them. If it took that long to connect to give me that message, I don't want to think what it would have been like paying for it. It took forever for the message to pop up that I had to pay for it, so I skipped it. I do agree that it would be nice if they had free wifi. We also tried the breakfast buffet and found both the price and selection to be nice. We ate in the restaurant, and was satisfied with it. I sampled the beers, and was able to find some that I liked. Having a brewery on site certainly doesn't hurt. I like the fact that it's a couple of blocks from the madness that is Freemont Street. If I needed to stay down there again, I would choose the Main Street. We don't usually stay on Freemont Street, but we decided to this time. All in all, it's still an okay deal if you can get weekends for less than $50 a nite (or Sun-Thurs for less that $35), but be aware that you will be getting an okay place to sleep, and that's about it. The brew pub is still very good, as are the micro brews. The casino is smallish but decent with lots and lots of full-pay video poker, and decent BJ rules and Craps odds.

On the bright side, MSS is far enough away from the madness of the FSE, but close enough if that's your cup of tea.

Also, the water pressure on the higher floors is iffy, and showers run hot and cold every few seconds during peak bathroom times, so asking for a lower floor might help avoid that. Ask for something facing the other direction if you are a light sleeper. Some rooms face the freeway and railroad tracks, and can be noisy. Make no mistake, these rooms are among the cheapest as far as hotels go in downtown, BUT since the upkeep has gone south, they used to be a much better deal. The casino and common areas are not noticeably more run down since our last stay, but the rooms have become pretty ratty, especially the bathrooms. She's gone downhill a lot over the last five years.
