| - There's not really much I can say about Texas Station and have it cover everything and/or be 100% accurate. It is a very off-the-strip casino.
What I can really speak for is more or less the hotel experience, what I have witnessed in the casino area and the food.
My boyfriend and I have been in Texas Station Gambling Hall staying in their hotel for about a week, going on a week and a half. Overall, the atmosphere is "okay". Nothing in Texas Station really stands out, though if you do love the 'gambling-night-scene' you won't be let down.
The food here is really so-so. I'm going to have separate reviews for the places I have actually visited and eaten at, but it is all a little overpriced. If you want real food, visit the food court which has Fatburger (open 24/7), Baja Fresh, Sbarro, and Panda Express - otherwise, you have The Grand Café, Feast Buffet, Pasta Cucina and Austin's Steakhouse; this is not including the tiny, and horribly run, diner on the lower level of the casino where the Bowling area is. Oh, and they also have a Starbucks!
The people here are also so-so. There are ladies walking around in red velvet dresses that seem so droll I almost want to give them money to take a taxi home - that or give them an application they can fill out to get them a new job that they love. They basically wander around aimlessly, looking bored, annoyed and just unfriendly. I have yet to see one that looks at me in a kind manner! I'm assuming they are walking around to take bar orders for people like myself and tidy up the machines? Either way, they don't set the mood in the place at all.
The hotel portion of Texas Station ... actually isn't bad at all. Skimming through other reviews, a few people mentioned "eh" hotel rooms. Our room was actually quite nice! At the price it is per day, it's not bad at all. The only drawback is that you have to pay for your wifi PER DEVICE, which is $6 a device each day, and on top of that, if you need a fridge they will provide you one but it is $10 a day.
Here, it seems the rooms tend to come with two beds - ours were full sized and very plush. They were definitely great beds to sleep in, super comfortable. Every room has its own AC Unit that is adjustable by the thermostat on the wall. You have to put your bedroom key card in the wall where it is illuminated by green LEDs for the AC to actually stay on.
The room service is good, but seriously annoying. DO NOT plan on sleeping in unless you have your 'do not disturb' sign on your door. They will generally come to your room around 9am-ish and they do this strange, silently knock two times and then enter routine while saying "Hellloooo?". Ugh.
They tidy up very well, though, I will give them that. Also the TVs in the rooms are flippin' awesome. We got a 25-30" flat screen in ours with decent quality picture.
Over all, not a whole lot of complaints. $1 mediocre margaritas, conference rooms and party rooms as well as a wedding chapel area, a nice movie theater, plenty of good places to eat, $3 blackjack, tons of slot machines scattered everywhere, a lovely and quaint gift shop, Texas Station rewards (get it!), clean hotel rooms. Worth three stars. A-Okay it is!
