| - Like George Washington, I cannot tell a lie. Believe me when I tell you the Texas Station is a pretty nice spot. I mean, it's clearly not glitzy like The Bellagio or something, no, but that's not what this casino is trying to be. This place caters to a demographic that's a little less flash/bang/spend and more "I live here, and the margaritas are $1!"
Yes, the margaritas here a dollar. Yes, they also have $2 shots. Yes, that means a lot of working-class people come here to drink and take it easy after work or on a weekend. Personally, that's half the reason I come to the Texas.
I also come here because they have a movie theater, which is pretty cool. As far as movie theaters go, this one is basic: no IMAX or anything uber cool like that. Also, Austin's Steakhouse is pretty good. I've been there a few times, and I've never disappointed in either the service or the quality of the food. They also have a bowling alley here, though I never go because I suck at bowling. The gambling here is cheap, and I've spent an hour or five at the penny slots.
All in all, this is a cool place. I enjoy the values, the variety of things to do, and the fact that there is no Strip pretense here.
