Station has owned the land, the former Castaways site, since 2004. Contestants in the “Fremont freeroll” select 20 proposition wagers on Sunday’s game, and the contestant with the most points on the card wins $10,000.Ĭompany officials said they are excited to bring its presence into the neighborhood east of downtown Las Vegas.

The casino’s STN Sportsbook hopes to bring in guests during its opening weekend with a special sports betting contest related to the Super Bowl.

The Mexican eatery is in the casino’s food court, where there is another stall for possible future use, while IHOP has a traditional restaurant space and patio that can fit up to 200 people. “Not everybody wants to go to a larger casino so we wanted to give everybody that option but with all the great Station amenities, comfort and safety and security.”ĭining offerings include Tacos El Pastor and a 24-hour IHOP. “We definitely wanted to give the Station Casinos feel, like Durango, but in a smaller environment,” Veltri said. Other elements like the STN Sportsbook and two kiosks, cashless gaming through STN Cash and the first loyalty program card printing kiosk at a Wildfire, add to that goal.

And the brand’s new logo, “Wildfire by Station Casinos,” makes the connection clear. The new design is part of an effort to tie Station Casinos - operators of Red Rock Resort, Palace Station, and the under-construction Durango resort in the southwest valley - to its seven other Wildfire properties. “It’s very well lit, almost looks like a piece of artwork with the TVs and the sports ticker on top.” “It’s really the focal point of the property,” Veltri told the Review-Journal during a preview tour Tuesday. For instance, TVs are visible from anywhere on the slot floor and the bar has 16 stacked 65-inch TVs and a sports betting ticker running above it. The 21,000-square-foot casino with about 200 slot machines, bar-top and electronic table games has an updated look with modern designs and amenities compared to what’s expected in a Wildfire, said General Manager Jonathan Veltri.
