California Hotel And Casino, Las Vegas

My husband has recently become wheelchair bound. He missed his trips to Las Vegas and his doctor suggested that he go. We were disappointed that the Cal's handicapped room had only one bed. We took our daughter along to help us. It would have been difficult for her to stay in the same room without another bed. The hotel needs a family or handicapped bathroom. Many elderly come with a child of the opposite sex or spouse to help them. I had to go with my husband into the men's room. Since it was not a busy time, luckily there were only a few men in the room. Even if we had been at the Cal, we would have to go to our room and that, too, could bave been inconvenient. We did not stay at the Cal, but at Main Street because of the handicapped room accommodations. We are more comfortable at Cal and do most of our playing there. I strongly believe that you need to change the attitudes of the people in the cashier's cage. I have always felt this way. The reservationists, however, were very helpful and friendly when I called for information. If you made it more convenient for the elderly, I would certainly recommend it to our relatives and friends.

It was early in the morning & I was sitting by myself at a slot machine when this homeless man sat next to me & kept begging for money. I was really scaried when I turned around to see their was not even a security at the back door or any one around. I kept looking at the ceiling thinking they were camera with guard watching & waiting for some help. I finaly dug into my purse & gave him some cash to leave me alone. Few minutes later after he walked away I went looking for an employee but noticed they had caught up to him & was escorting him out the other end of the casino. I tried to tell the security people what happened &all they could say was next time press the change button on the machine to call for help. The didn't even stop to talk to me and just kept walking away. After I got home I answered their survey on line. It's been a month and you'd think they would have contacted me if they cared. I guess not and that's why I'm writing this review. David Lebby vp gm - his name on survey but does he really care about his guest? I don't think so!

I have no complaints about this hotel. I'm not an expert traveler so I won't into detail. I'll simply say that I enjoyed my stay. It is the first Vegas hotel that had a refrigerator. So I bought all my food at the grocery store. I saved a lot of money, still enjoyed myself and had more time for active Vegas fun rather than sitting in restaurants. Also the drive to The Strip is short. Enjoy!

My daughter and I went to Vegas for her 30th birthday. We had the best time. The hotel is located close to the Fremont Street Experience, inexpensive, clean, cheerful helpful staff (some), comfortable, and quiet. We had no dislikes except that the pool was a little small, but we did not go to Vegas to swim, and all of the staff were not as friendly or helpful as some of the others, but knowing people this is to be expected. Good value for the price.

The atmosphere is like being in Hawaii. People are friendly and the place offers real aloha hospitality. The rates are just what we were looking for and the food is pretty great too.

over all this is a good place to kick back and enjoy las vagas, with a low key ambiance and friendly staff, its a great bargain, but of course with the price its no 5 star hotel.

IT WAS A PLACE THAT ALLOWED ME AND MY FAMILY TO RELAX AFTER GOING OUT TO SEE THE SIGHTS OF LAS VEGAS WITHOUT THE WORRY OF ALL THE NOISE AND LIGHTS. THE FOOD WAS WONDERFUL AND THE STAFF VERY PLEASANT. IF GAMING IS YOUR THING IT WAS NICE TO PLAY AT THIS CASINO AND THE ONES AROUND THE AREA. LESS CONGESTION AS FAR AS THE TRAFFIC MAKES GETTING TO IT EASY, AND THE MARRIGE LICENSE OFFICE IS ONLY 3 BLOCKS AWAY FROM FREMONT STREET. VERY RELAXING AND FUN.

Prices were reasonable for a Fri/Sat stay. The rooms were a pleasant surprise considering I was expecting something smaller and the relatively new flat screen TV was a bonus. Gaming action was low key, meaning you could play for smaller stakes as opposed to betting $25 per hand at blackjack at other casinos. Although no casino employee was rude to me specifically, I did see some dealers and floor managers treat some patrons with indifference. I mean, no one really expects 5 star treatment unless you are Whale (big time bettor) but to just brush people off is rude as well. So as far was value wise, I'd recommend it. However as for the atmosphere, you may want to try another spot if you like bigger action and a more sophisticated feel. Not bad overall, but that is why I am on the fence.

This place Is a dump. Small rooms ,dirty,dirty ,dirty. I cant believe how It depressed me.I stayed one night and left for the strip.I would have been more comfortable staying In my car.

My experience with the California Hotel and Casino has been abysmal at best. The bartenders, dealers, pit bosses and casino change people were obnoxious, rude and uncaring. I spent a full day in the casino gambling and could not get a comped meal from the pit boss. After hitting a small jackpot I asked a change girl for help, she walked away and didn't return. The next girl had an attitude and couldn't be bothered. If you like spending alot of money to be made to feel bad, then this is the place for you. My advice is to stay away!
