We live relatively close to Aliante Station. Never used their rooms but the casino is a nice place if you don't like it too crowded. If you live in this area I recommend getting a membership card, and collect points every time you use the machines. Once you have enough points you can redeem your points against food or other things.
Aliante Station is a good alternative to the always so busy strip. It is located in the North Las Vegas area in a relatively new building. Inside is very clean and staff is always friendly and helpful.
There is a small food Cort, a Buffet and if I'm not wrong a Bar. So far I only have tried the breakfast buffet and really liked it.
