| - Station Casinos hook it up. I got comped food, rooms for 3 days, paid me to go and gave me money to play with. Not sure what I did but I think they must have bought the former VIP players list from Caesars or something (yeah I was young and dumb back then lol)
They gave me 3 nights at any Station owned property so came here because it's one of the newer and looked like a resort from the pictures...so wanted to see what it was all about.
We were in town on the strip and figured it can't be that far away....boy I was wrong. I took the freeway which was straight retarded and made me go literally around the perimeter of Las Vegas, then I took sidestreets to this place the next trip which let me tell you DO NOT DO. Side streets, it looks like a shortcut on the map but sucks. Plus coming from the strip to this area isn't fun, maybe it was the route I took but it was straight hood..
Overall, the Casino and Hotel here is really nice, it looks and feels like a resort and is very similar to the layout of Red Rock. It is way out there...literally some roads lead to the mountain side of the edge of Las Vegas. It's a total locals place because it's way out there - most players seem to be locals and I am almost certain no one comes from out of town to stay here. At late night there were about a total of 5 tables going and a whole mess of slot machines (just like Red Rock).
The rooms were very nice and modern. There was even this modern pillow that was long and hairy that we found amusing. The pool was very nice and since this place was empty we got to use the Cabanas. I also went and used the Gym just because I felt like a slob after slamming the buffet a few times - towels and water provided in there and of course it was empty.
It's a shame this place is so far out there, I'm sure it would have done well if the housing market didn't crash and North LV with it. By the way, the surrounding areas are really nice and empty. To give you an idea, I went to Target to buy some contact solution and at 6PM literally there was one line open and maybe 5 customers...total.
3 stars because the place was great and people were nice. There really wasn't anything special about the place but it was very clean, modern and new.
