California Hotel Casino, built in 1975, was the first Las Vegas
property of what was to become Boyd Gaming which now has additional
properties in Nevada, New Jersey, Louisiana, Illinois, Indiana and
Mississippi. Situated in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, the Cal, as
it is often referred, has evolved through the years more than doubling
in size and becoming one of downtown premier properties.
The hotel features 781 relaxing guest rooms including 74 luxurious suites. As you enter the California, you'll be welcomed by the richly-appointed
lobby which is just a prelude to yet another highlight- the tropical
motif of its guestrooms. The rooms' dcor has taken a page from the
Hawaiian home of many of its frequent visitors and is enchanting,
comfortable, and a respite from the hustle and bustle of the casino. It
offers a true island atmosphere, right in Downtown Las Vegas. Travel across the "Bridge" that takes you over the traffic of
Downtown's main thoroughfare, Main Street, and brings you right to Boyd
Gaming 's Victorian-themed casino, Main Street Station.
