Casino And Hotel In Las Vegas

Casino And Hotel In Las Vegas

Like many of the casino hotels in downtown Las Vegas, Main Street Station is a gem that tourists often overlook. Opened in 1996, the hotel has 420 deluxe guestrooms and 28,000 square feet of casino gaming. More importantly, Main Street Station overflows with historic architecture, artworks, and antiques. From the Pullman railcars parked outside the hotel to the Berlin Wall slab tucked inside the men’s restroom, there are interesting articles scattered throughout the property.

The hotel’s front desk and bell desk offer detailed guides to the Main Street Station’s collection. After requesting a map, treasure hunters wander the property, searching for and reading about the many historic treasures. When hunger or thirst interrupts their quest, smart explorers visit the Garden Court Buffet or Triple 7 Restaurant and Microbrewery. Both establishments offer some of the best dining values in Las Vegas and include a few hidden treasures of their own.

Sitting alongside the Main Street sidewalk are two railroad cars. The Blackhawk is a private railcar built by the Pullman Palace Car Company in 1903. From 1906-1917, it was used exclusively by Buffalo Bill Cody to travel across America with his Wild West Show. Next to the Blackhawk is the Cascade, a private railcar built in 1897 for a railroad executive. The opulent Cascade includes a sitting room/bedroom, guest room, stateroom, dining room, observation area, kitchen, and bathroom.
