California Hotel and Casino
California Hotel and Casino — known locally as 'The Cal' — is a Boyd Gaming property in the heart of downtown Fremont Street with a devoted Hawaiian following since the 1970s, making it the most culturally distinct budget hotel in Las Vegas. The 781-room property features a full casino, on-site dining including the legendary Aloha Specialties lunch counter, and is steps from Circa Resort's Stadium Swim — the best pool party venue in downtown Las Vegas.
