The California is our favorite hotel in Las Vegas, thanks to the Aloha spirit of the staff and the friendly customers. It's a little slice of Hawaii in Las Vegas, thanks to a plethora of Hawaiian package tours, an authentic Hawaiian restaurant, Hawaiian store, and Hawaiian specialties on the inexpensive but delicious breakfast buffet (thank you, Portuguese sausage!). Lappert's ice... More

I brought my mom and dad on this trip and they absolutely love The Cal!! The front desk was able to get us connecting rooms on short notice. The Housekeeping staff was very quick with any requests we had (extra towels, etc) and the rooms were serviced well. We also liked the restaurants that are available, different options for our...

Older property but location is central to all downtown casinos. Staff accomodated my last minute request for a room without any problems. Room was basic and clean. The food at the coffee shop was good and service was adequate. Wasn't expecting the Ritz at the price so have to say everything was what I expected. More

Trying to get breakfast downtown. We went into the California Hotel. We found the buffet and went to the line and waited to be seated, and waited and waited. After five minutes and and no less than five staff walking by us without even looking at us we decided to leave. Not without complaining of the poor service of course.... More

I stay at the California Hotel and Casino across from Fremont Street in Las Vegas when I work in Vegas in March. Its my fifth year staying here and its always been consistent. The rooms are clean and roomy (double). The property is older but rooms are nice. Staff at the hotel is very nice. Bellman are polite and friendly.... More

This past weekend my family and I stayed at California Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas, NV and it was a pleasant surprise. If you aren't familiar with the hotel, and I wasn't, its located in downtown (Old Vegas) Vegas-completely off the strip. What a breath of fresh air. The hotel is a obviously an older hotel, but, the... More

Stayed for 3 nights. Best casino for downtown for gambling and dining. Tried others. Hotel is a little out dated and the casino chairs need to be updated. Escalator was broken for my entire stay and had to use the elevator to go down to the first floor. Ask when it was going to be repaired and they stated 5... More

I stayed in the West Tower room 2112 and found it to be very nosy because the room on that side are facing train tracks and freeway. I at least counted 3 trains passing through from 6 to 8 PM and not to mention the sirens from police cars or fire engines. I would not recommend any room facing that... More

Thank you for your feedback regarding your experience at the California Hotel. We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had with your room. We are located in historic downtown Las Vegas and conveniently located next to the freeway, which comes with some unfortunate sights and sounds. We do have many other rooms that are not exposed to the railroad... More

We just got back from a 4 night stay at the Cal. This hotel is one block off of Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas. It's an older hotel that has done some remodeling over the years. Check in was painless, there was no line when we got in at around 11 am. Our room wasn't ready, but we didn't... More
