The California Hotel and Casino is a
little bit of Hawaii in downtown Las Vegas. This is by design:
A constant stream of tourists from The Hawaiian Islands flows to The CAL.
|

|
The CAL
does not have a full Las Vegas style
buffet... |
|
| The Market Street
Cafe offers excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner specials, and a
great Late/Early breakfast. Several restaurants offer
Asian specials (see below.) Click one of the following links for
more information. |

Fast Food taste treat.
Just inside the Southeast
entrance of the 'Cal,' there is a small food counter (The
California Club) that serves burgers, fries, Asian dishes, sodas etc.
There is a simple Rice and Chile bowl
(Just a few bucks) that
is superb, especially when 'doctored' with a dollop of ketchup,
Kagome Tonkatsu sauce
(on the tables) and Tabasco. Albeit a very simple dish, the memory
of this bowl of chili and rice will install itself in your food memory
bank and you will have to repeat. "It's the Asian sauce." |

I stayed at the Cal in mid-August
(2005.) Although the hotel was in the middle of renovations (new
paint smell was not pleasant,) the room looked newly appointed. It
was very comfortable and my two day stay brought no complaints. I
was on a "Buy one night-get one free special" ($35.00 for two nights.) |

Walk across the indoor bridge - over
Main Street - to the Main Street Station Hotel and you can start all over again.
The Main Street Station Hotel has a great buffet... |
