California Hotel and Casino

To the security personnel working at California Hotel and Casino on Thursday night, February 6, 2025, possibly during the overnight shift, this 5-star review is dedicated to you for your attentive and caring actions. Your assistance to a young woman in need was truly commendable. Your intervention that evening was crucial and likely life-saving. She was on a business trip and remembers dining with coworkers, but nothing beyond that. She later tested positive for being drugged. To those in the casino who disregarded her situation, shame on you. It's unimaginable to feel the fear a parent experiences when receiving a distress call from their child in the middle of the night, disoriented and without support, and then losing contact for two agonizing hours. Thank you, Security Guard, for your compassion and humanity in taking a moment to provide her with the help she so desperately needed. We are immensely thankful for your kindness. Edit: It has come to our attention that there were two female security guards involved in assisting her. Thank you both!

The highlight of this hotel is definitely the room, which was clean and quite spacious. However, there's no weather stripping on the windows, which means they let in the cold and noise whether they're open or closed. It seems one of the elevators in the tower has been out of service for months, and another one stopped working during our stay. This left just one elevator operational for most of the visit. The food at the café was decent, considering it's a $20 breakfast in Vegas.

We spent two nights in suite 2304, and it was fantastic! The space was incredibly roomy, and being a corner unit on the top floor, it offered an amazing view of Las Vegas and beautiful sunsets. The only downside was the elevators; the wait time to go down was between 10-20 minutes. With the suite on the 23rd floor, taking the stairs wasn't a viable option.

This was my first time visiting Las Vegas, and I would describe my stay at the California Hotel and Casino as satisfactory. Upon entering, the strong smell of cigarettes is noticeable on the main casino floor almost all the time. However, the hospitality from the staff was impressive, with their consistent politeness leaving a positive impression. The room was comfortable and welcoming. Overall, the hotel was well-maintained and offered good value for the price. The amenities, the bathroom, and the warm reception contributed to a pleasant stay. In terms of location, the hotel is approximately a 10-15 minute drive from the Strip, which is important to remember for those planning to visit. On the bright side, it's only a short walk to the famous Fremont Street, which was an incredible experience. Overall, I had a great experience and would be delighted to return!

Fantastic location if you're looking to spend time on Fremont, and the Strip is just a quick cab ride away. The hotel was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well. The rates were reasonable, even on Friday and Saturday nights. I would definitely stay here again—it's better than any hotel I've stayed at on the Strip. However, the elevators seemed to have several issues, with only one out of three functioning during my stay. This occasionally resulted in long waits.
