Main Street Station Hotel and Casino and Brewery, Victorian-style hotel and casino with brewery in Downtown Las Vegas, United States
Main Street Station is a hotel and casino at Main Street in Downtown Las Vegas, owned by Boyd Gaming. It has 406 rooms and a 26,918 sq ft casino, with a microbrewery called Triple 7. The tan facade carries a brown scalloped awning and "MAIN STREET STATION" signs, and a red-orange bulb-edged sign tops the low casino front.
Construction began in 1976 and the hotel opened in February 1978 as Holiday International, a 416-room Holiday Inn franchise; its casino, leased by Major Riddle, closed in 1980 and the hotel in 1984. Japanese investor Katsuki Manabe reopened it in 1987 as the Park Hotel and Casino after about $13 million in refurbishments. Florida developer Bob Snow bought it in 1990 and reopened it on August 30, 1991 as Main Street Station, with a Victorian theme drawn from his own antique collection; it went bankrupt four months later. Boyd Gaming bought it for $16.5 million in 1993 and reopened it on November 22, 1996 after a $45 million renovation.
Bob Snow filled the reopened property with antiques from his personal collection, and a self-guided tour still leads through them. Look for stained glass from Lillian Russell's mansion, bronze doors and a facade from the Kuwait Royal Bank, doors from George Pullman's mansion, chandeliers from the Coca-Cola building in Texas, and a Pullman sleeping car linked to Louisa May Alcott.
The hotel is linked to the California Hotel by an enclosed walkway over Main Street. The casino floor, with its chandeliers, and the Triple 7 microbrewery are on the same level, so you can move between them without changing floors. The south parking lot was once used for a scene in the 1995 film Casino.
A section of the Berlin Wall is installed above the urinals in the men's restroom, one piece of the antique collection Bob Snow brought when he reopened the property in 1991. Other items on display include stained glass from Lillian Russell's mansion, bronze doors and a facade from the Kuwait Royal Bank, doors from George Pullman's mansion, a Pullman sleeping car linked to Louisa May Alcott, and chandeliers from the Coca-Cola building in Texas.
