| - I've had several stays here over the years. Nothing too over the top. I'd say it's about on par with the other Station Casinos (with the exception of Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock, which are both top of the line.) A good place and area to stay in that's a much greater value than the Strip - not to mention the Boulder Highway casinos are known to pay better, for the most part. About equal to Sam's Town and the Eastside Cannery down the road.
Rooms:
Pretty standard, and much better after the remodel a few years back. Ask for a higher floor for really great desert and Strip views.
Restaurants:
The Feast Buffet is great at all of the Station Casinos. Burger King, Subway, and Winchell's Donuts are pretty much like the rest of them. One thing I noticed on all my past visits is that these franchises don't really have inflated prices for being in a casino, like you'll usually get everywhere else, which is awesome.
Pool:
Could be a little bigger. No atmosphere, just a rectangular outdoor pool with a wrought iron gate around it.
Casino: huge and sprawling, kind of like most of the other Station Casinos are.
My only reason for not giving it a five star rating is due to something I witnessed during a stay a few years back. The elevators are manned by security guards, and showing your key is a requirement, which is usually a good thing as far as safety goes. However, I stopped at the security guard's podium to show my room key, and go figure, he was asleep! There were a good dozen people, a couple that might have been prostitutes, that took advantage of this and jumped on the elevator very quickly.
