| - This rating is for the casino only, as I've not stayed at the hotel. PSHC is a perfectly average casino that caters primarily to locals. It is one of many in the Station Casino conglomerate.
As of this writing, they've been undergoing major renovations for several months. My critique doesn't include the dust and disturbance associated with construction, especially since I think whatever the final outcome is, it will be an improvement on this old-school establishment. Besides, parking is free, something of a growing rarity in this city. Enjoy!
I live a mile from this Station casino, yet Red Rock casino remains my primary casino of-choice. I'll drive across town for it, so PSHC here is rated by comparison. As a locals' casino, it's frequented by people who enjoy pizza, waiting in a long line for oysters, and the $1-menu type for the cafe and next-up, the lackluster buffet. The buffet hasn't been upgraded since inception, I'm guessing; it feels like a cafeteria, no different than when my parents and I visited Vegas in the early 1990s. Retro Americana. Sans reboot.
The casino floor, the people, and the restaurants all feel tired. Fast food options include Subway, and that's about it. Subway! The only upscale joint is overpriced, so there's no in between for the middle class customer. I guess that makes sense since the middle class is dead. I would never visit this casino for dining, not when Station offers better options elsewhere.
But, I would visit this casino on the regular, as I do, for a Sportbook with ample seating and quality screenage. When I'm betting MLB, I love to linger here, enjoying the energy of fellow gamblers shouting and cheering. It's a good gd time. I never thought I'd be into that, but it's been great this year! That alone is why I come back now and again. It's not super uppity like some on-strip casino books, it's convenient, staff has been very friendly, and the drinks are typically stiff.
Looking forward to how things unfold with the renovation rollout.
