Downtown gets a bad wrap. I love downtown Vegas and here is why:
Free valet parking at ANY Boyd Gaming property (Freemont, Mainstreet Station, California Club)
Cheaper drinks then on the strip
Able to walk between several casino's within minutes
The California Club has a great Italian Restaurant Called The Pasta Pirate
It is very easy to pick up and bang drunk out of town chicks
Great restaurants, and much cheaper then the strip
