MAIN STREET STATION
A real period hotel slightly off Fremont Street with restaurants, a casino and a very good pub
Located slightly off Fremont Street, not far from the old train station dating from 1905, this establishment, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in Downtown, has the appearance of a real period hotel. The appearance only, because it was built in 1975 and its owner, Sam Boyd, installed there his collection of antiques which gives the place this "gold rush" stamp. You enter the casino by pushing old wooden doors with copper handles. At the reception desk, you will find a small booklet that suggests a tour of the different pieces of the collection. An old apothecary's sideboard collects the keys of the establishment's guests, somber portraits of pioneers line the walls of a dark corridor, a chandelier from the historic Coca-Cola Company building, imported from Texas, hangs from the ceiling. The hotel's restaurants also have their share of antiques: a very good pub, Triple 7, brews its own beer in old copper vats, and its dining room ceiling has an elegant wrought iron frame. Finally, the Pullman Grill (for private parties only) was the last stop on the "Louisa Ascott" wagon: this old car, which was amputated from a 1927 train, now serves as the restaurant's smoking room. On Main Street, next to the hotel, other vintage cars are definitely at a standstill. For those who would like to have a drink, go to the Boar's Head Casino Bar (next to the Garden Court Buffet) and its chic setting with statuesque columns and a marble counter.
