About the Main Street Station Casino, Brewery and Hotel: Just two blocks off of downtown Las Vegas' iconic Fremont Street, cozy Main Street Station (at 406 rooms, it's on the small side for Vegas) offers bargain rates without that down-at-the-heel feel you get from some of Downtown's properties. Lavishly done up in a post-gold-rush San Francisco theme, the hotel's attention to detail is evident in every gas lamp and brass doorknob -- until you reach the rooms, which are spacious and (following a 2005 renovation) resolutely modern.
Pricing: Room rates vary by date and size, but range from about $36 to $112 for a double.
Dining: The Pullman Grille is an upscale steakhouse, with a full range of surf and turf classics (the Black Angus beef draws many a carnivore from the Strip), while the Triple 7 Restaurant does more casual bar-and-grill fare and serves its own on-site-cultured microbrews. The Garden Court is one of Downtown's most popular buffets, where international specialties (including brick-oven pizza) are prepared to order.
Entertainment: Main Street Station's gaming area is small but meticulously appointed in the Victorian theme, and the 28,000-square-foot casino includes more than 900 slot machines. Take a gambling break and explore the hotel's unusual collection of antiques, such as chandeliers from Paris' Figaro Opera House and Buffalo Bill's own private railroad car.
