Extra clean, great little restaurant and accessible to any of the other casinos by just a few steps.
I feel the Plaza and Main St. Station are too far AWAY from the Freemont area.
None of the downtown hotel/casinos have very good payouts but you do have fun trying to win something!
For YEARS we stayed on the busy strip but enjoy the calmness and easy maneuvering of downtown.
Will never go back!!
We do venture and stay at the Orleans however whenever we don't want downtown and when they offer us free rooms!!

These numbers include all electronic games, including slots, video poker, and video keno.
These numbers are typical of area payouts in LV---I believe DT beats the Strip in every comparison. It also explains why we love to gamble on Boulder!!!!
