Aliante Station in North Las Vegas, the newest casino and hotel from Station Casinos officially opened today.
Frankly, I'm jealous because we were supposed to get Durango Station in Southwest Las Vegas about 3 years ago now, and we keep getting disappointed as the reality of that property ever debuting is on hold while Station Casinos struggles to get financing for Durango Station in this tight credit market, instead of reaching into its own well-stuffed pockets.
I guess Aliante Station went first because Station Casinos was able to split the cost and risk with 50% partner backing, and they wanted to tap into the local retiree gambling market in Sun City and upper-end Aliante residents who are way out there by themselves. People in those areas refer to theselves as living in "Aliante", but they can call it what they want, they still live in North Las Vegas.
Anyway, Aliante Station will mimic a smaller, less grandiose Red Rock Casino, and feature the usual well-done Station Casino amenities including a 700-seat showroom, 16-theater movie complex, sportsbook with 65 inch LCD screens and 6 restaurants including The Original Pancake House and TGI Friday's, and a brand-name food court that includes Dunkin' Donuts, Johnny Rockets, Villa Pizza, Rubios, Capriotti's and more.
If you want to go on a local's road trip. Hike on up to Aliante Station. I'm going to take a one-time trek spin myself with my convertible to satisfy my curiosity and get a further glimpse hopefully into Durango Station's future.
