The food: The menu at Market Street Café is mostly American coffee-shop staples like chicken fried steak, spaghetti, pork chops, burgers, and eggs every which way. Reason to visit: Oxtail soup, oxtail stew, Chinese fried chicken, combo noodle soup, other Hawaiian specialties The space is simple, a couple of large rooms filled with generic chairs and tables topped with bottles of Heinz ketchup, Tabasco sauce and one distinctive bottle - Aloha brand soy sauce, "made in Hawaii since 1946."
There is an outpost of Hawaii's famed (and delicious) Lappert's Ice Cream, the fast-food takeaway Aloha Specialties, and most of all, the Market Street Café, a stereotypical Vegas casino coffee shop open 24 hours a day, but with a distinctly tropical menu twist. It has a unique slate of culinary offerings skewed towards its clientele, almost all of whom come from the islands. Just off Fremont Street, it has the typical downtown feel with neon signage over the entrances and a laid back vibe, with none of the glamour or pretense of the newer Strip resorts. Tour operator Hawaiian Vacations operates five non-stop charters a week from the 50th State to Sin City and many of those passengers book packages at the California. But there is one thing that distinctly sets the California apart, and that is its long tradition of a very loyal Hawaiian clientele. The scene: The California Hotel & Casino is a landmark of old downtown Las Vegas, and at first glance, it appears very similar to its neighbors such as Binion's, the Golden Gate and the Four Queens.
