Welcome to the future of Las Vegas
It’s 8 p.m. July 11, 2033. Hot and getting hotter. There’s a high of 117 outside McCarran International Airport, and you’re fighting the odd desire to crack an egg over the asphalt, Tweetagram it.

Description
The California Hotel and Casino is located a block away from the Fremont Street Experience and offers affordable rooms, gaming and dining options.
The hotel-casino was built to pay tribute to the 31st state, California, but has become an unofficial tribute to the 50th state — the property is often a stop for Hawaiian visitors. The Aloha Specialties restaurant is known for some of the best Hawaiian food in town.
The casino floor features live-action gaming, more than 1,000 video and reel machines and even a satellite-fed Sports Book.
