Best bartop video poker in downtown. Great microbrew beers and food. Lively craps games.

Clean, open atmosphere and rooms. Easy parking. The best overall value downtown.

I always visit Main Street Station every time I visit Las Vegas.

They have a good selection of video poker games - 9/6 Jacks, 10/7 Double Bonus and 8/5 Bonus - in a variety of denominations. They also have some 25-cent Not So Ugly Deuces games.

Additionally, any time you get a four-of-a-kind you are given a scratch off card for cash. It's almost always $2, but there are some higher amounts you can win.

The comps are pretty good and they are generous with mailed offers. They keep sending me offers for a free two or three night stay with a $25 food credit and double points. My play wasn't that heavy and that's why I think they are fairly generous with their offers.

I still haven't stayed there yet, but I'm sure I will. I have heard that you want to avoid staying on the side near the railroad tracks because it can get pretty noisy.

They also have free wireless internet service in the lobby. Sometimes I bring my laptop to check my email there in the morning and then go play some video poker.

I have tried the buffet which is very good and they also have an on-site brewery restaurant which is also good.
