Main Street Station is one of three downtown Las Vegas casinos owned by Boyd Gaming. The other two are California and Fremont. All three of these properties cater to visitors from Hawai’i. An enclosed walkway bridge connects Main Street Station and California.
No downtown Las Vegas casino has changed more than Main Street Station since the pandemic. All coin video games were dropped during the closure. The best video poker machines were removed from the casino floor and the bar. Scratch cards for four of a kind were digitized. However, the 99% video poker games that are left typically do not qualify for this promotion. So, Main Street Station won the 2023 Worst DisAdvantage Award for Value Downtown and Downtown Vibe.
Perhaps the biggest change is the table game pit. Half the machines were taken out of action. The eight remaining tables are only open on weekends. Main Street Station is the only downtown Las Vegas casino that does not have table games open daily. The vibe inside reflects all these changes. There is less energy in the casino and noticeably fewer patrons.
Additionally, the buffet has limited hours. It is only open for brunch daily. It is open for dinner only on Fridays and Saturdays. The 777 Brewery is now open for dinner nightly. The casino was visit number three of 93 for our 21st-anniversary casino record.

Changes to Boyd Rewards, the players club used at Main Street Station, left most video poker and table game players behind from most of the benefits. In our experience, the mailers do not make up for it. It is probably fine for slot players, but for anyone else, we think Boyd Rewards is the worst players club in Las Vegas. Therefore, Boyd Rewards won the 2023 Vegas DisAdvantage Award for Players Clubs.
Other Boyd properties in Las Vegas include Aliante, California, Cannery, Fremont, Gold Coast, Jokers Wild, Orleans, Sam’s Town, and Suncoast.
