You don't have to walk trough the casino if your don't want to as you can park on the west side of the casino and enter the theater from there. We showed up for a matinee on a Monday afternoon and found the theater not very busy. After waiting for a couple to dispute the use of their Station Casino rewards cards perks, when it came time to purchase tickets, it was a quick process. After making said purchase, we moved to the to concession stand. This threw me for a second or two, as it it a hybrid of having some fill your popcorn and or retrieve speciality items and self serve. I would not want to deal with this type of action on a Friday night while bumping into bodies trying to fill my drink while holding something in my hand. Give me the proverbial cattle chute, where I can stand like a lemming in line and get everything, all the while standing in line. The theater was clean and spacious but I have to admit this experience was merrily an addition to the "Talkies" list. I enjoy having a rewards program that gives me something for all the hard earned cash I pay to visit a cinema. I could not locate any said program here but found C16SFS to be a satisfactory experience.
