Every casino is the same in some aspects. While Aliante doesn't have a particular theme to it, it is very similar to other Station Casinos in Vegas. Aliante is only convenient if you live in the area or within 20 minutes of it. Otherwise, I wouldn't waste my time making the trek up here unless you're a die hard Yelper who's bound to check into this casino anyways.
Besides from being a standard Station Casino, they have a TGIFriday's chain, a movie theater with IMAX movies, a small food court, and gambling machines and tables galore. Most of their restaurants in here are VERY much on the higher end of dining, so if you're looking to have a romantic date or a nice dinner out, there are some choice restaurants to look into. Besides that, the sports book here is usually on the busy end.
