Main Street Station is a hotel and casino in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. It is owned by Boyd Gaming. It originally opened in 1978 as the Holiday International, part of the Holiday Inn franchise. The casino portion closed in 1980, due to financial problems, and the hotel closed four years later. The property was renovated by Japanese investor Katsuki Manabe as the Park Hotel and Casino, which operated from 1987 to 1990.
Florida developer Bob Snow purchased the property and renovated it further, reopening it as Main Street Station on August 30, 1991. It featured a Victorian theme and various antiques, which came from Snow's personal collection. Snow did not have experience in the gaming industry, and Main Street Station filed for bankruptcy four months after its opening. It closed in June 1992, and was sold to Boyd the following year. The company sometimes used the hotel to house overflow guests from its other downtown properties.
Main Street Station was fully reopened on November 22, 1996, after a $45 million renovation, which included the addition of a microbrewery known as Triple 7. The property's Victorian theme was retained. Main Street Station has 406 rooms and a 26,918 sq ft (2,500.8 m2) casino. The antique collection includes railroad cars and a portion of the Berlin Wall.
