It includes a mix of shops like Stupidiotic, Swatch and I Love NYNY and restaurants with patios like the Shake Shack, a hugely popular “roadside” burger stand, and Tom’s Urban. A stage is nestled in one end of the Brooklyn Bridge to showcase live bands and other entertainment. A sweet new attraction also stands here — Hershey’s Chocolate World, a flagship two-story store where guests can taste new treats. Its entrance features a towering Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar and an 18-foot Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.
Guests can also enjoy a six-acre dining and entertainment district called The Park in the street between New York-New York and Monte Carlo. The Park features Beerhaus, Bruxie, California Pizza Kitchen and Sake Rock. It also connects to the 20,000-seat T-Mobile arena in partnership with AEG.
After exploring the outdoor offerings, step inside to see artistic drink pouring techniques by sexy bartenders at Coyote Ugly or be immersed in Celtic gaiety at Nine Fine Irishmen. The Bar at Times Square boasts its well-loved dueling pianos act at night, and Pour 24 is a contemporary bar with 24 American-made beers on tap.
A veritable city block of fine dining choices reflect the ethnically diverse cuisine from the Bronx to Brooklyn, Queens to Manhattan, Staten Island and beyond. The bakery-fresh bread of Il Fornaio will have you believing you’re in Little Italy, while the atmosphere of Gonzalez y Gonzalez replicates one of NYC’s most popular Mexican cafés. Succulent steak and seafood is prepared at Gallagher’s Steakhouse, which has been a beloved New York City eatery since 1927. Or venture to Greenwich Village for a quick nosh at the Village Eateries, an area of the hotel that offers authentic NYC-style street food such as pizza, kosher pickles, crepes and deli sandwiches.
Upstairs, the Coney Island institution Nathan’s Famous hot dogs fits perfectly inside the Coney Island Emporium, a midway-style arcade with 150 coin-operated games. Also at the amusement center is the Big Apple Coaster. Designed to replicate the classic yellow taxicabs, it’s guaranteed to thrill as it tears around the front of the resort at 67 mph.
For something a little more relaxing treat yourself to a therapeutic body treatment at The Spa at New York-New York. SoHo-style shops, a fitness center and a seasonal pool with cabanas and three hot tubs round out the hotel’s amenities.
Please keep in mind all rooms are non-smoking. If you choose to smoke, there will be a $250 cleaning fee at checkout. The property offers plenty of designated areas, including the casino and various bars.

Offering some of the best dining experiences on Fremont Street Experience, the Fremont Hotel & Casino is one of downtown Vegas’ most beloved hotels.
The property has been one of the crowning gems of Fremont Street since 1956, when it became the first high-rise hotel in the area. Even after the hotel changed hands — Boyd Gaming bought it in 1985 — the devotion to quality and comfort has never lessened.
The 447 spacious, recently renovated guest rooms and suites — with flat-screen TVs, refrigerators and wireless internet access (for a fee) — are comfortably removed from the round-the-clock excitement of the Fremont’s 32,000-square-foot casino. Several stellar restaurants also stand ready to serve, from the splendid Pacific Rim cuisine of the Second Street Grill to the playful tropical setting of the Paradise Buffet & Café. And popular beef rib purveyor Tony Roma’s packs in guests by the truckload. For a quick bite, there’s always the Lanai Express or Dunkin’ Donuts. Plus, cocktails are poured round the clock in the casino bar and sports bar.
There’s more to the Fremont, but you should discover those bonuses through repeat visits. Offering classic Vegas service and quality, the Fremont Hotel & Casino in downtown Las Vegas impresses with wonderful dining, comfortable rooms and exciting gaming action.
One of downtown Las Vegas’ most brilliant treasures, Main Street Station Casino, Brewery & Hotel is just steps from the Fremont Street Experience but years apart.
Filled almost to overflowing with antiques, rarities and memorabilia — including a chandelier from Paris’ renowned Figaro Opera House and a section of the Berlin Wall — there’s something here to impress nearly everyone, even before one samples Main Street Station’s terrific hospitality. Hanging above the table games are antique fixtures from the Coca-Cola Building in Austin, Texas. There is stained glass from singer/actress Lillian Russell’s mansion. The hotel offers a brochure so you can take your own self-guided tour to discover the treasures that await throughout the property.
Without a doubt, however, the star attraction is the Triple 7 Restaurant and Microbrewery. With oysters, sushi, gourmet pizzas and garlic herb french fries that simply can’t be beat, there are plenty of great tastes to accompany the establishment’s handcrafted brews.
Main Street Station also boasts one of the best buffets around. The Garden Court Buffet has a one-of-a-kind atmosphere (imagine a vaulted ceiling with countless chandeliers and ceiling fans) paired with every culinary delight imaginable.
After eating, one has a wide range of options available: enjoying the 28,000-square-foot casino, wandering over to Fremont Street for the spectacular light and sound shows, or retiring to one of more than 400 luxurious, wood-accented rooms.
True to its name, Main Street Station is one of downtown’s main attractions. Whether visiting or staying overnight, a lengthy stop here isn’t only recommended but also unavoidable, and for the best possible reasons.

North Las Vegas is the latest hot spot in Southern Nevada. One of the hottest spots in that area is the Cannery Casino and Hotel. Near Nellis Air Force Base and the popular Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the Cannery bills itself as a “resort destination.” It’s hard to argue with that – especially for those who’ve come for the races.
This hotel has 200 rooms, an elegant palm-bordered pool and Jacuzzi and 24-hour room service. The casino level offers six restaurants and two bars with nightly live entertainment.
As you might guess from the names of the bars – Pin-Ups Lounge and Victory’s Bar & Grill – the Cannery goes for a WWII-vintage canning factory atmosphere, from the extensive use of brick to the illustrations of ’40s models on the blackjack tables.
The 75,000-square-foot gaming area offers over 1,650 slot and video poker machines and 20 table games. There are weekly blackjack tournaments and free gaming lessons on weekend mornings. The property recently open a brand new race and sports book, a poker room offering 2 tables including low- and medium-limit Texas Hold’em, Omaha and 7-Card Stud and a 288 seat bingo room.
The signature restaurant is Waverly’s Steak House, showcasing dark wood tones and still-life paintings that give it the look of a ’40s-style plant manager’s office. There’s also the Cannery Row Buffet featuring BBQ lunch and dinner, Casa Cocina for Mexican and margaritas and the All-American, 24-hour Victory’s Cafe. Try Vino’s Italian Restorante and Deli for a taste of Italy in your own backyard.
