| - As a newcomer to the Las Vegas area, I am like a kid in an adult candy store. Drinking and gambling available 24/7?! Not to mention the fact you have to work REALLY hard to get a bad meal in the area. (Even the Chevron station by our condo makes one of the best sandwiches I have ever had.) When my counterpart--an LV native--suggested an afternoon at Station, I gladly obliged. He didn't rave about it and said it was old, but fun and LOTS to do: From bowling to gambling to eating to playing bingo, seeing a show...We would decide what to do when we got there. Not a "strip-style" hotel/casino, I suppose Station could be described as "campy" in comparison. However, upon entering a seemingly huge Old West-style haven, with very cool ambiance of ceilings painted to make the interior seem like you are outdoors in the 1800's, you do feel like you have gone back in time and have escaped, once again, whatever reality exists outside this locals treasure. Boasting friendly, attentive bartenders and very loose video poker machines (that still managed to take my money, but at least I got play for my $40), a packed keno lounge and very funny and knowledgeable attendant, plus cool promotions, Station Casino is definitely worth a visit.
