The SC Blog received the following email from our Team Members at Aliante Station. Nice story we thought we would share:
Cynthia has battled with hydrocephalus and spina bifida that has bounded her to a wheelchair for all her life. She is a very sweet and shy young lady. Her father is not in the picture and her mother and her live very simply. When wish granters went to interview Cynthia she went through the different wish options. She took her time and right before the wish granters were leaving (thinking she just wasn’t sure what she wanted) very softly said she really wanted a Quinceanera party. Cynthia was so excited we are able to make her wish come true. Cynthia also wanted to be able to dance a traditional dance at her quince and she was so excited when we found a dance studio that will be helping her choreograph a dance especially for her big day. Cynthia can’t wait for her special day!!! Cynthia and her mother are both very kind and sincere people and they are so excited and grateful for this wish.

The Aliante Catering department will be hosting Cynthia’s Quinceanera.

Cabo Mexican Restaurant To Open At Additional Station Casinos Locations

(Las Vegas, Nev.)- Known for its bold Baja flavors at reasonable prices, Cabo Mexican Restaurant will take up residence by September 29 at additional locations: Sunset Station, Boulder Station and Aliante Station. Cabo, a Station Casinos owned and operated casual Mexican restaurant, will replace Guadalajara, and offer consistent high-quality food and service found at existing Cabo locations in Red Rock Resort, Palace Station and Santa Fe Station.

The menu for all locations will offer expanded combo meal selections that allow guests to match up to four of their favorite Mexican entrees, such as chile rellenos, enchiladas and tamales, on one plate. Seven entrée options provide hundreds of possible combinations that are all served with rice and beans. Combo meals run $11.49-$15.29 and all entrees on the menu run $8.99-$18.99.

All-you-can-eat tacos will be available at every Cabo Mexican Restaurant, and will spread to all Mexican restaurants in the Station Casinos group, including the Fiestas, to coincide with the opening of the new Cabo locations. From $6.99-$7.99 depending on location, diners may test their eating abilities by enjoying unlimited chicken or beef tacos. Days of the week and times the special is available will vary by restaurant.

The new Cabo menu will keep nearly all of the wide variety of dishes currently enjoyed by guests including:

  • Tableside guacamole: Two ripe Haas avocados, Roma tomatoes, green Serrano chiles, sweet red onions, cilantro and freshly squeezed lime, served with warm tortilla chips.
  • Camarones del Cabo: Bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with Monterey Jack cheese, flash fried golden brown and served with honey mustard sauce.
  • Fajitas: With choices of chicken, beef or shrimp, all fajitas are marinated in a special blend of herbs and spices, served sizzling hot on a skillet with onions, peppers and tomatoes. Accompaniments include pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, warm tortillas, Mexican style rice and black or refried beans.

 

There is no better way to wash down a hearty Mexican meal than with a Cabo specialty drink. The extensive bar menu offers several margaritas, including Cadillac and strawberry, in addition to mojitos and a wide selection of domestic and imported beers.

To round out the whole meal, desserts include flan, apple filled churros and the decadent fried ice cream: a scoop of vanilla coated with crispy cinnamon sugar flakes, fried to a golden brown, finished with cajeta (Mexican caramel), chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

Each Cabo location is uniquely designed and colorful, featuring a reflection of Mexican culture. All Cabo Mexican Restaurants have a full bar, with many offering happy hour food and drink specials – some as low as $.99.

All Cabo Mexican Restaurants are open for dinner and locations at Boulder Station and Santa Fe Station are open for lunch. Hours vary by location. For more information, log onto www.stationcasinos.com where you can link to each property for details.

All-New Boarding Pass to Reinvent Popular Loyalty Program

CONTACT:           Lori Nelson, Station Casinos

702-495-4248 lori.nelson@stationcasinos.com

 

STATION CASINOS REINVENTS POPULAR LOYALTY CARD PROGRAM

BOARDING PASS CARD REVAMPED TO OFFER MORE BENEFITS AND CASH BACK TO GUESTS

Station Casinos changed the way locals gambled back in 1999 with the introduction of the innovative Boarding Pass loyalty card program that rewards guests for their gaming play; and on September 15, Station Casinos will introduce the all-new Boarding Pass program with the addition of several significant enhancements including:

  • Video poker and slot players will now earn points three times faster than before, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  Every one dollar played will equal three points when playing video poker, slots and video keno making the Boarding Pass program the most competitive point ratio in town.
  • The merging of three loyalty card programs into one card (Boarding Pass at Station Casinos’ properties; Amigo Card at the Fiestas and the Wild Card for the Wildfire Gaming division)  with equal points earned and redeemed at 18 Station Casinos’ locations.
  • Players may now earn cash back.  One dollar in cash for every 1,000 points earned.
  • Players’ points can be redeemed at over 50 restaurants, 11 hotels, five bowling centers, seven movie theaters, two spas or for hundreds of concerts.  No other locals’ loyalty program offers full access to dozens of free entertainment offerings.
  • Players will get status twice as fast with a six month cycle for both status credits and maintaining their status level.
  • Status credits can be earned in other gaming areas including pari-mutuel waging, poker, sports book and bingo.
  • Status credits, which assist guests in moving up in their card status as well as provide additional perks and discounts, can be earned throughout the casino including video poker, slots, video keno, table games, poker, race and sports book wagering and during bingo sessions.   The threshold to get status is lower than ever before.

“The  enhancements to the all-new Boarding Pass represent the most monumental change in our loyalty card program since its creation and addresses all the desires we’ve heard from our guests when we asked them for a ‘wish list’ of their ideal players’ card program,” said Kevin Kelley, Chief Operating Officer for Station Casinos.

Guests can pick up their new Boarding Pass at any Rewards Center.  All points will be converted to the players’ advantage and merged into one card. New Boarding Pass card players who sign up for the card will get up to $500 in free slot play

The five status levels of the Boarding Pass program begins with Preferred as the first level and status grows to the Gold, Platinum and President levels with the highest level, Chairman.  President and Chairman level players will be given a personal casino host to ensure that all of their casino needs are met.

The roll out of the all-new Boarding Pass program is another example of the Company providing extraordinary and innovative promotions as recently seen with the launch of its “We Love Locals” program, bringing back the popular “Car a Day” promotion that awarded 220 cars throughout the month of February and the increased football contest prize pool from $1.4 million to $2 million in the long-standing “Great Giveaway” promotion.

The past several years have been a tough time for Las Vegas and for our Company, and we couldn’t have made it without your support.

That commitment, and your support, has allowed us to grow from one small property with 90 team members to 18 properties with over 13,000 team members.

As we look to the future, you have our promise that every one of our team members will continue to work hard every day to exceed your expectations every time you visit one of our casinos.

STATION CASINOS HISTORY

Station Casinos was founded on July 1, 1976 when Frank Fertitta Jr. hired 90 employees and opened a 5,000 square foot entertainment venue (that is today Palace Station) named “The Casino” offering 100 slot machines and a snack bar. It quickly became a local’s hangout and due to its immediate popularity, more entertainment amenities were added and the property’s name evolved over the years to “Bingo Palace” and in 1984 with the addition of a hotel tower the Company settled on the name “Palace Station.” As the community grew, so did the Company. Fertitta’s sons Frank III and Lorenzo took over the Company in the early 90’s and grew it over the years into one of the largest gaming companies in Las Vegas that today has 18 properties and 13,000 team members throughout the Valley.

 

Station Casinos Receives Final Approvals for Restructuring

UPDATED JUNE 17, 2011: See Station Casinos Completes Restructuring.

LAS VEGAS – Station Casinos has received all of the approvals necessary to consummate its plan of reorganization. Following approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Wednesday, today the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission voted unanimously to approve Station’s restructuring. These approvals clear the way for Station to emerge from bankruptcy as a financially stronger and healthier company.

The successful conclusion of the restructuring that began in July 2009 will result in the Company and its properties remaining together under the Station Casinos’ umbrella, the preservation of nearly 13,000 jobs, and Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta becoming the Company’s largest shareholders, owning 45 percent of the restructured Company. Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, together with their existing management team, will also remain the manager and operator of all of the properties, tribal partnerships and land holdings.

“In both good times and in bad, we have demonstrated our commitment to the Las Vegas community. From one small property with 90 team members in 1976 to 18 properties with over 13,000 team members today, we’ve always been committed to investing in Las Vegas,” said Frank Fertitta, CEO and Chairman of Station Casinos. “We sincerely thank our team members and guests for their support. It’s a great day for Station Casinos, our team members and the Las Vegas community,” Fertitta said.

As part of the plan of reorganization, Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta personally reinvested nearly $200 million of new capital into the Company and through successful negotiations with its lenders, restructured the Company’s debt.

The reorganization affirms that there will be no changes to the Company’s operations or entertainment offerings. The Company remains committed to providing the same great value, friendly service and high-quality entertainment for its guests as it has since its founding 35 years ago.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the plan of reorganization for Station’s operating subsidiaries was obtained on Wednesday, May 25, except for Green Valley Ranch Resort, which will require a follow up hearing in early June. It is anticipated that the restructuring transactions will close in the coming weeks.

Station Casinos LLC will own Boulder Station, Fiesta Henderson, Fiesta Rancho, Green Valley Ranch, Palace Station, Red Rock Resort, Santa Fe Station, Sunset Station, Texas Station, Days Inn at Wild Wild West and the Wildfire Gaming division that includes Barley’s Brewery, The Greens, Gold Rush, Lake Mead Lounge, Wildfire Casino & Lanes, Wildfire Boulder and Wildfire Rancho. The Company will also continue to manage Aliante Station pursuant to a management agreement. Additionally, Station Casinos LLC will continue to own various land holdings and continue to develop and/or manage four tribal gaming opportunities in California and Michigan pursuant to development and management agreements.

Foreigner to Perform with Basic H.S. Concert Choir at GVR

Foreigner in concert April 29 at GVR.

LAS VEGAS – As part of the band Foreigner’s charity partnership with the Grammy Association, they will host the Basic High School Concert Choir during a performance of the band’s 1984 hit “I Want to Know What Love Is” on Friday, April 29, 2011, during their concert at the Grand Events Center inside Green Valley Ranch.

Foreigner has partnered with the Grammy Association to support their mission of restoring instrumental music education in America’s public schools, and raising awareness about the importance of music as part of each child’s complete education.

“As far as I’m concerned, music is not only the most powerful form of communication between the peoples of the world, it provides a gateway that opens up a fantastic new dimension of feeling and creative, and anything we can do to provide our young ones with the tools to express themselves through music, is our goal in this partnership,” Foreigner Guitarist Mick Jones said.

As part of the partnership, Foreigner is donating $1,000 to the Basic H.S. Concert Choir to use towards its music program.

The latest Foreigner CD, Can’t Slow Down, will be made available for purchase to concertgoers before and after the concert. For $20, the buyer receives Foreigner’s new three-disc set and a raffle ticket. An autographed Foreigner guitar will be raffled off at the end of the concert. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the CDs will go to the Grammy Association program.

Foreigner has also been involved with other charities including the Red Cross, the Shriners Children’s Hospitals and the VH-1 Save the Music charity, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for these worthy causes.
